make an argument for why Sachin is so much better than Steve Smith please, Tired of letting you Sachin stans run wild, gotta push some on the leash now.

Can't say for sure as Smith hasn't retired yet.
But Lara for now. And probably stay that way.

Sachin was better than Smith for 70% longer, end of story
and again show me one credible cricket commentator or writer who says Smith is comparable

I myself have Sachin>Smith, I wanna know why comparing them is such blasphemy.

can you show me a Sachin series better than Smith's 2019 Ashes?

He didn't play long test series in his peak as India used to play short series a lot, often 2 match series
Pointless argument. Mohammed Yousuf had a better series than that.
That’s not what I’m arguing. You said Smith was in the discussion. Show me one credible person who has made the argument. No one discusses it other than you. Because it’s ludicrous.

Smith played 4 matches in that series, lol
it’s not blasphemy, it’s just not a thing in the real world

Amazing that Tendulkar played only 2 5 test series, both against the West Indies !

And was Sachin playing several 4 match series in his prime? You will struggle to find more than one.
Whereas Australia has 4-5 match series literally every year. Home and away vs India and then Ashes.

That's not the question, the question is if Smith over Sachin is a hotly debated view currently in the larger cricket world. It's not.

Kimber says Sachin is better because (drumroll) longevity.

In Smith vs Sachin, the argument for Smith is really easy tbh. Better prime and ATG series. Maybe even performances vs pace.
