Sachin Tendulkar and Wisden Rankings
Please keep your nationalism, parochialism etc to yourself. Sachin Tendulkar is not even among the top TEN ODI batsmen ever according to the ICC and he was ranked a distant second to Vivian Richards in 2002 by Wisden - the ONLY instance that the ranking was ever done. The 'revision in 2003' is a LIE concocted by cheap fans of the cheap FTB that is SRT. In ODIs, Richards avgd 56 in Aus vs Aus with a SR of 90 and three centuries; SRT who avgs 34 with a SR < 80. Similarly in Eng vs Eng, in Pak vs Pak and in NZ vs NZ, Richards is FAR ahead in terms of average, strike-rate and centuries scored.

AND while this will be difficult for you to stomach, its but a FACT that Richards played in an era of uncovered pitches which were much faster and bouncier than anything that SRT has seen in his worst nightmares; and that was also without even a helmet and NOT a ton of protective gear like SRT wears; that was in an era where there were ZERO restrictions on the fastest bowlers ever who could bowl six bouncers at batsmen if they liked and not with a hundred restrictions like one-bouncer-per-over and fielding restrictions etc etc etc; AND Richards did it against far better bowlers and attacks; T'kar also got to open while Richards did not; T'kar also played the crappiest attacks in cricket history like Zimbabwe, Kenya, Bangladesh, Namibia etc several times to fatten his average and strike-rate.

Richards is 100X better according to many other calculations; So please do not insult the intelligence of Wikipedians by spreading such a lie. SRT was ranked 2 in 2002 which is a hundred times overrated which is good enough. In reality he is the greatest FTB ever - you missed out on that word - FTB. 98.221.122.175 (talk) 00:44, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
