Interesting to see he has scored test hundreds opening, at 3, 4,5,6 AND 7. Wonder if there is anyone else who can boast of that record. Also amazing he managed to average so much while shifting around so much in the batting order AND bowling quite a bit.. Awesome..
What if you take only innings of his that are higher than the average of the innings that he averaged higher than his original average?If we only consider innings' played by Tendulkar where he's scored more than his career average (because he was obviously less than par in the innings' where he scored less than his career average, and so those must be discarded - Vivian/Ian principle, aka VivIan principle), then he's scored 7853 runs in 90 innings' with 16 not outs, at an average of 106.2 with 48 centuries.
That'd be an average of 211.79 with 40 hundreds in 6142 runs scored over 40 innings, Daemon.What if you take only innings of his that are higher than the average of the innings that he averaged higher than his original average?
Good work
Yes, DaemonGood work
But just where exactly did his 8 hundreds disappear to? They all in the 100-106s?
Further proof that Tendulkar > all. You take away 8 hundreds, and his average actually doubles. WAG 
Manipulating stats to make players look awesome
That would be considering only centuries of his that have passed 106. Not saying much really, although this now makes me wonder who averages the most when considering centuries onlyYes, Daemon
Someone has done the stats on that one, Sanga and Jayawardene are right up there. Sehwag must be pretty good as well, though not as brilliant as when he was on that ridiculous streak of 150+ scores.That would be considering only centuries of his that have passed 106. Not saying much really, although this now makes me wonder who averages the most when considering centuries only
Wtf does any of that have to do with Ricky Ponting's batting record in England?

Didnt think there would be players who haven't been out after getting a century
I prefer the thought that Kallis averages more than his career best - red ink anyone?Didnt think there would be players who haven't been out after getting a century
Is this what you're looking for?
Trying to find innings of Sehwag's where he has scored 75+ at a sr of more than 100.
