Sanga as a pure bat beats every body, other than Bradman and Sobers. It is simple as that.

If we do a fair guess what he would average if he played as a wk-bat whole career, I'd say 50 - 52. As a pure bat 60 - 62.
Which ever way you take he is either one of the greatest wicket keeper batters ever seen if not the greatest, or one of the top three if he played as a batsman alone his whole career.
I mean yeah, he was really good, hence the thread.

I'm only thinking of this peak time though. I think it was one of the best peaks of the last few decades, which even potentially greater or more longevity batsmen could not match.

What the hell are you doing?
Trying to compare apples to apples. Which is hard, because their sample of games at those times was rather different in nature.

In short, Sachin did great against Australia over a very good sample size. Sanga did absolutely stupendous in Australia in that same time but it was only 1 Test. Don't really know how to deal with that other than show 1 comparison where Australia is included, and another where they are excluded and you only compare the teams in common.

Tendulkar in 2010 came close to breaking the record for most runs in a calendar year. He was in tremendous form.
