Smith's figure vs bumrah got hurt by 24 BGT (When he was at his lowest point in his career) otherwise pretty good.

By that logic, they're also saved massively by the 2009 Series which was played on absurdly high scoring wickets with a 50+ run-per-wicket and Murali was on his last legs and would retire the very next series. The times Sachin clashed with the Murali that wasn't medicore, it did not go his way, 33 shows that. Murali himself said this about Sachin and his feud
Sachin Tendulkar had a ‘small weakness’ against off-spin: Muralitharan
The 49-year-old further said that he dreaded dangerous batsmen like Sehwag who had the ability to flay bowlers

During that series, Mendis only took Sachin's wicket once.

Don't think that's true. We went through Sobers record and it's not as ATG hitting as thought

It's an odd one since he didn't seem especially uncomfy against Murali but didn't really dominate him except the 90sBy that logic, they're also saved massively by the 2009 Series which was played on absurdly high scoring wickets with a 50+ run-per-wicket and Murali was on his last legs and would retire the very next series.

I don't think anyone bar maybe Viv (ugh) has a less patchy record against the great bowlers of their time.

Sometimes players just look comfortable and then just make one mistake and get out

He had his struggles vs saqlain but post 2000 s sachin became coward vs spinners and ultra selfish that he just looked to survive rather then attack whereas in 90s he had this ego to dominate bowlers that he got himself out so man timesBy that logic, they're also saved massively by the 2009 Series which was played on absurdly high scoring wickets with a 50+ run-per-wicket and Murali was on his last legs and would retire the very next series.

In 90s sachin was very agressive unselfish batsmen who had arrogance about him but in 00s became selfish **** who cared more about milestones then anything

@Johan My fav tendulkar story is that during bridgetown test match in 1997 where by end of day 3 india were set target of 120 to win. Sachin was so confident that when a waiter said ambrose would bounce him out sachin replied he would hook ambrose all the way to Antigua. That was the arrogance he had in 90s. Incidently he lost his wicket trying to smash bishop (off no ball which was not given)

Yeah post 90s he became lot more subdued. Stoped playing hook and pull. Even in odis was lot more cautious
what are you smoking
Sachin was by a large margin the best batter for over a decade where Brian Lara was around
sobers never played against an ATG bowler

. Sobers' first series vs Australia in 1956 when he was 18, was vs Lindwall, Miller, Bill Johnston, Benaud and Ian Johnson. He averaged 39 in that series btw, not great, but commendable for a teenager seeing as CW seem to rate teenagers highly that perform well in a test series. Then the series vs England in 57 it was Trueman, Statham, Lock and Laker. Oh you want great series vs great pace: 1960 at home vs Trueman and Statham.

Sachin averages in the 30s against majority of the great bowlers including a matured Murali, bashed Warne/Steyn and that deserves respect, but Sobers and Viv (ew) are clearly less patchy.

As for this thread both sir gary and sachin are retired. We can discuss about them but smith is still playing. We are unsure how he will end up either he is gonna have atg series vs bumrah in 27 or rabada in 26 or will decline bad is unknown. Plz let us keep him out till he retires
