Aravinda De Silva is better than Sachin Tendulkar

[Migara]

The idea that Aravinda was better than Tendulkar is obviously nonsensical, but make no mistake, he was a brilliant batsman and should've had a much, much higher average than he did. An average of 50 would not have flattered his natural ability.

Infact in latter half in his career (after 1996) he did average 52.6. Combination of better approach to the innigs and support to play long innigs may have been contributory

Funnily enough the author's name translates literally as "Useless".

Well true translation should be "Devoid of good attributes"

Article reads like some of the bull**** going on in all these VS threads atm.

Actually it's devoid of any attributes...

Well true translation should be "Devoid of good attributes"

We use that term for people who are considered impotent.

But as Shankar said, the sanskrit meaning is one without any attributes, good or evil, and hence is fully detached.
