I believe you’ll find consistent history of me specifically not overhyping teenage Tendulkar.
Respect for that. The people who overhype teenage Sachin know who they are. They're the same ones who'd down play any other teenager, like a certain poster is now. I just find that annoyingly hypocritical. Next he/they will start with the "context" bs.

Nobody is overhyping anything. Someone stated he didn't face any atg fast bowling i simply replied with that example. But im curious to know why it's ok to overhype teenage Sachin but no one else because you and i both know it's happened. Like his 1992 series vs a middling Australia attack at 18. Their main bowlers were Hughes and McDermott. Please.
Lara scored 277 vs same middling Australian attack. So is lara knock overrated?

Burgey’s just making a post Ashes prediction tbh. England’s bowlers to dominate a pathetic Indian lineup and everyone talking them up before Smith smashes them.
If we drop kohli and rohit we can surely beat England. Even kohli and rohit will score provided pitches are flat vs middling english attack

Yes on top of that Sobers batted got two not outs and scored one fifty that series. Ok good for a teen but not earth shattering.
Sachin averaging 30 odd vs Donald as a teenager wasn't earth shattering either but you are one of those who glaze the dude time and time again but over course "context." And the thing is, I wasn't even hyping Gary, some well intended poster (sarcasm) stated Gary didn't face any atg bowling. That was bs, I used the 1955 series which is a legit example.

Given the "context", man I love that word, I see why Subz overuses it. Anyway given the context ie wi being one down, Australia with 500 runs on the border, wi being 30/2 and WI losing their last 2 tests in Sydney, Warne's dismantling the previous test yes, it was a great innings vs a middling attack.

England’s bowling is pathetic

India’s batting is pathetic

let’s see who is more pathetic. I think you’ll see India win
There isn't a probability of an Indian victory, it's just a contest of how many of these chumps England can force into retirement via the sheer humiliation India is about to be handed.

Nobody is touting Tendulkar averaging 33 as a teen against Donald as an achievement they are with his ton against him.
