Ravi Bopara vs Sachin Tendulkar

[Jack1]

Is Bopara the epitome and proof that a poor man's Sachin Tendulkar exists? Does anyone else bat like Sachin even a tiny bit?

Any other comparison's welcome like Smith being a poor man's Bradman. Poor man's is not to be taken literally, rather as a harmless phrase. It's an idiom not literal.

Warner is a poor man's Shane Warne with the ball.

Maybe there are some others that haven't crossed my mind yet.

Darren Bravo is a poor man's Brian Lara.

Nothing else springs to mind yet.

Mehedi Hasan Miraz, a rich man's Ramesh Powar.

Ravi got swag that Sachin could only dream about.

I don't really care about anyone getting banned but I get banned for a Ravi Bopara possible return to England team unreal.

How many T20 Blasts has Sachin won? Ravi > Sachin. Get him back in an England shirt.

I've never heard an "Ohhhhhhhhhh Sachin Tendulksr" chant coming out of a County Championship-winning dressing room, so I'm going to go with Bopara here.

Bopara averaged 290 with the ball in tests. After PFK era adjustments, it will be like 500 in 2019.

He was a great all-rounder in test cricket.

Because he wasn't good enough mate.

Think Rahmat Shah resembles Ian Bell a bit. Similar level players, so neither is inferior to the other. That Asghar pic brought that to my mind. At least I think that's Asghar and not Sachin, lol.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is that Asghar Tanikzai?

Asghar Afghan I think. Same dude I know. I think he was called Stanikzai before that. He looks a lot like Sachin in that pic.

He's got the best hair in the Afghan team.

Are you sure that's not Sachin? Absolute spitting image if not

If only we had a side angle perspective, we would see Afghan's nose protruding out like Pinocchio's.

Don't think Sachin would wear that shirt would he? To be honest I never noticed they look so similar with sunglasses on. I think it's Asghar but it's close.
