Now, many may cross 200 in ODIs. But Cricket GOD knew that His dearest son needed something that should never be taken away from him, and that's why the landmark "The first ever to score 200 in ODI " had been kept for him.
How many others came close to it in the 40 years of ODIs!! but it's the Son of (Cricket)God who deserved it and that's the poetic justice.

Yes they do, Tendulkar plays and scores runs vs all countries and all conditions... but no way can he be the best as he wasn't born 100 years ago.

Hussain just said on Sky Sports News that he and Sachin basically played Bodyline type bowling, as that's what they faced in his era, with short pitched bowling aimed at the ribs, just with less fielders on the leg-side. He then used this to bring in a stat about Bradman "only" averaging "around 50" in the Bodyline series, which is very similar to Tendulkar's average. Very interesting points it has to be said, can't say I agree with him.

This is the kind of **** that pisses me off to no end, and it seems to routinely happen with Tendulkar. There are countless people stupid enough to make such a claim and countless others waiting to gobble it up.

I don't mind the opinion as long as it has some sort of logic to back it up (although seems like Nasser is pulling a Roebuck - trying to become part of the big story) but that doesn't make a lot of sense unless you can show what Sachin averaged against intimidatory bowling specifically. Comparing one series of Bradman to Sachin's career average wouldn't make sense unless he faced bowling like that of Bodyline over the entire career, which he didn't.

Martin (fredfertang) has ripped criticisms of Bradman's batting during Bodyline to shreds more than once around here.

Who else has averaged 95 after 230+ first class matches or even close to it?

Yes Gavaskar is right that Tendulkar's aggregates are unmatched but the less breathless among us also tend to have regard to a batsman's average. And tendulkar's Test average is a little over half that of Bradman. So claiming that Tendulkar is clearly the greatest of all time is just ridiculous. Mind you Sunny does have a habit of saying some silly things.

Failing face. You are a noob sometimes my friend.

I don’t seem to recall Sunny (or anyone else for that matter) claiming 10 years ago that Courtney Walsh was unquestionably the greatest bowler of all time, asking such questions as “who else has taken 500 Test wickets?”
The increased, frankly ridiculous hyperbole that is now in full flow is the regrettable downside to this wonderful achievement.
That being said, I couldn’t be happier for Sachin – an absolute ornament to the game of cricket.

There is a good case for putting him at #2 all time. There is no case whatsoever for putting him at #1. Period.

I don't agree with the #2 case either, but you can make the argument for any player from #2-#10, and I don't care much where you rank guys from Hobbs, Sobers, Tendulkar, Chappell, etc. Up to you, go for it.
I do care if you want to ignore 99.97 based some some exaggerated fanboism.
