Who Will Take Hold Of Sachin's Crown

I cannot see Sehwag ever attaining the levels of consistency which Tendulkar has achieved. He seems to be a little too aggressive at times. The other possible candidate from the current side is Dravid, but the difference in class is something that makes me think that the 'next' Sachin might not even have been born yet.Shivankit said:
As far as world class players are concerned from other countries, Herschelle Gibbs doesn't make my top 5 (yet).
Oh, can you lose the 'caps lock' in your posts, please? It's considered to be shouting (and cricket supporters like a good sleep on sunny days like today).

Re: Re: Who Will Take Hold Of Sachin's Crown
Dravid is of the same age too. I could have said Ponting or Vaughan but they are around 28 and will only play 2-3 yrs more after sachin retires . So i can't see anyone right now. Maybe Clarke or Sarwan will take over after Sachin retiresluckyeddie said:

Sarwan does at times look simply as good as any you would see, he has such excellent balance and simple technique that makes batting look so easy, that I feel compelled to suddenly go hold a bat and practice..... sometimes he doesn't look as good but even then he still looks at ease....
Whatever happened to Mahela Jaywerdena, he used to average around 50 in tests, what do you guys think was the reason for he lack of self-belief in the WC2003 ? IMO it was confidence, lack off.

I was going to say Sarwan myself. At times, it just looks like you can't get him out.

Well I think Jayawardene has struggled to get going in one dayers for some time now. He is in a poor side and even when he does get say a 50 it is usually holding a collapse together and hence his SR is poor. Maybe it's just because (in some instances) he has been batting on poor tracks, like the recent triangular where most scores were around 150.
Anyway at 26 he has the ability to develop into a really classy player but a brief look at his record shows an average of 48 from 49 tests which is excellent, but an average of 29 from 147 ODIs, although his SR is a respectable 72. It's hard to say with a few more games if he improves and develops a bit that his average will come up because he's already played loads. He'll have to have a stellar few years to raise that average much but he's certainly classy in tests.
Don't know much about Sarwan, haven't seen alot of him, but a quick glimpse at his profile shows an average of 38 from 32 tests. Decent start to his career and if he starts converting a few more 50s into 100s he'll have a good career. Top ODI player though no doubt about it, average 48 and SR 80. I should point out though he often comes in late and so gets alot of not outs and because he's throwing the bat his SR is higher. Still one could argue that alot of players throw their wicket away and their average suffers, or whatever so definitely a talented individual, and still only 23 (next week).

Didn't Attapatu have a big series against South Africa late last year?

Atapattu hasn't passed 50 for 9 test innings (v England, South Africa and New Zealand).
Jayawardene himself averages 35 in his last 13 innings.
Sangakkara's done ok although he only scored 105 runs in 6 innings in England.
Sanath again just 99 runs in 5 innings in England, although he found some form against Bangladesh and has since continued that.
Arnold did well in England but only scored 6 runs in 4 innings against South Africa.
The SL batting line up just hasn't fired over the last year or so.

IMO the Sri Lankan batting order is not very deep at all in ODI's. Whilst they have quality batsmen, only a select few can actually pick up the momentum efficiently or maintain it. This was especially apparent in the World Cup as Sri Lanka tended to struggle in the late/middle overs and relied way too much on a good start from Jayasuriya and company.
In Tests I believe that they are a better batting team.
