Today is the birthday of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar The GOAT batsman cricket has ever seenMany here complain that there arent good indian threads so here is oneSachin was to batting what Messi's dribbles were to football, what Ronaldinho's skills were, what the chess of Tal was, and how Ali was to BoxingSachin just did not bat. He did not just play cricket.He did art.Sachin used heavier bats yet he swung them effortlessly. Sachin's technique was perfect. He did it effortlessly. To watch Sachin play was like watching a ballerina in action, his swings were like the jumps in ballet or the madras in bharatnatyamHe did what no one could. He did things with that bat that was unimaginable. He set the standards for perfection in cricket And he did this in an era with red balls, no drs, faulty umpire decisions, less restrictions on bowlers, and much glorious bowling age. He made batting great in the era of bowlers He faced Shoaib Akhtar, Brett Lee, Shane Warne, Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram, Glenn McGrath, Muttiah Muralidharan, Malinga and he triumphed over the generations of some of the greatest bowlers to exist.He invented the upper cut and did it with so much grace and eleganceThere will never be another sachin. No records, no titles , etc will ever make one a Sachin. No one will be ever as grateful, polite and soft-spoken as TendulkarThe parallels between Messi and Sachin are very intriguing, soft spoken polite no 10s, known for being manlets, from countries mad about those sports, donning blue jerseys, losing a world cup final while being the best player, and winning it all 8 years laterHappy birthday to the batsman who was the greatest to ever do it, and did it the most beautifully
That sounds based.Happy birthday to the man.
>>140331551This was probably the peak of Sachin It was thought impossible to go for boundaries on level shots like these. If you swung the bat you would get caught outThe Australians were bowling such balls and you are supposed to leave these balls in traditional cricket trainingOnly sachin could have done something like this on the spotHe came up with this on the spothttps://youtu.be/ZbmMXa5kWsYYou know you did well when even the opposition smiles and appreciates Pure art
>>140331551Most runs in International cricket before turning age19 - Sachin (2133)20 - Sachin (3042)21 - Sachin (4132)22 - Sachin (5495)23 - Sachin (6541)24 - Sachin (8696)25 - Sachin (11074)26 - Sachin (12978)27 - Sachin (15144)28 - Sachin (16899)29 - Sachin (18938)30 - Sachin (21030)31 - Sachin (22604)32 - Sachin (23776)33 - Sachin (24615)34 - Sachin (25525)35 - Sachin (28153)36 - Sachin (29467)37 - Sachin (31055)38 - Sachin (32813)39 - Sachin (33906)40 - Sachin (34273)41 - Sachin (34357)This was in a time of no T20Also, he debuted for india at 16
Don Bradman is the GOAT
>>140333727He played a completely different sport than that of Sachin. Viv Richards has more claims to GOAT title
>>140331551Sachin's another speciality was his deep respect for the game and how he held it above everything. His borderline religious like devotion to cricket is attributed to by teammates and rivals alike
>>140331551But can he hit a breaking ball?
sir donald bradman is the goat unfortunatley. please do not redeem this manlet, printesh. bloody basterd blaady
>>140331551he has a bigger legacy than that midget
>>140337155Bradman played a different sportSachin is the undisputed goat of cricket batting. No amount of whining will change that>>140337391Plastic fan
>>140339964>undisputedWell it's not 'undisputed' if people are disputing it right here in this very thread. 99.94 ladWas always impressed by how serene Sachin was. With other greats like Lara, Ponting, or Smith & Kohli recently, you could see them straining when they were out of form, trying to get the magic working again, scratching around for technique. Sachin could be in the middle of a dreadful run but you'd never tell by watching him. Cold as ice

And he did that despite always being extremely careful with his public image. Virat does not lace his shoesOnly sachin could have done this >>140331657 against Brett Lee
>>140340604>farmersThis is cope and you know it. Bedser, Laker, Verity, Larwood, Tate etc weren't farmers. He still averages 89 against England which nobody has ever come close too
tendulker was a hack and im glad he killed himself after it was leaked he was a boy lover
how do you know if a cricket player is good or bad? like what are the main stats etc
>>140348702if he's white he's goodif he's brown, he's not good
>>140348735might start watching it then
>>140345483>animekys srsly
>>140348702>>140348735>>140348880If he can do stuff like this >>140331879
Sachin's ability to decode bowlers was fantastic. He somehow always managed to find the "trick" to strange action bowlers like Muralidharan, Malinga etc etc
>>140331551I stopped watching cricket after he retired. Absolutely kino career, I knew cricket was over after it ended. I've been right so far.
Would it be fair to say that being a 5'5 manlet benefited Tendulkar MASSIVELY throughout his cricket career?
>>140354431whenever a manlet succeeds it's because of his height?could it not be the skill he acquired over the thousands of hours of work he put in?if it's because of his height why couldn't other manlets do it?
>>140354431Always an advantage to the batting partnership if they have a big height difference between them. The bowlers have to keep adjusting their lines.Sachin would have batted a lot with Azharuddin (5'10) Dravid (5'11) Laxman (6'1) Ganguly (5'11) so a bit of help there. But it was 99% his talent.
>>140354229It was beautiful, and I am glad I could witness some of it. Pure cricketing kino
>>140348030when was this?
>>140331551Gigantic fucking meme, just like Lara.Dravid was better.
