AB de Villers vs Michael Bevan vs Sachin Tendulkar

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Tendulkar benefited in 90s because of 15 overs PP

Big reason why middle order Batsmen of 90s had lower SR compared to openers

Or is it because.. 90s openers were Sachin, Sanath, Gilly.. Etc and middle order batsmen were Kallis, Dravid, Attappattu.. Etc ?

Tendulkar , Dominated 4 Seprate World cups , Played against superior spinners and pacers e.t.c. , Bevan doesn't belong here , his role is much different then De villiars and Sachin.

Also the old ball got softer, darker and harder to hit, which isn't the case anymore.

However the 90s had some proper good opening bowlers going around which you had to face with the new ball, which evened it up. These days it's mostly 2nd string hacks that are just there to get clobbered.

Best middle order striker of 90s was aravinda
Best striking opener were Jayasuriya followed by Tendulkar

Middle order guys mostly had 78 around SR if they were very good
Openers had 84 around SR if they were very good
