For that matter he destroyed every bowling line up in the world.

He has hit maxmum centuries in world cricket.

He destroyed bowlers like Akram and Quadir at the age of 16.

He has hit 38 centuries, another world record beyond the reach of any other good batsman in todays's cricket.

He is the leading run scorer in one day cricket.

he has a test average of 57 against Australia and 76 against England.

He has a one-day average of 44 at an amazing strike rate of 85.91

Still, some people think that he is over rates. Thats a personal judgement of course.

Once again Sachin has failed when India needed him the most. All his statistics matter very little if he does not deliver when India is in trouble (like Waugh alomst always pulled Australia out of trouble and Ponting does the same now).

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have Sachin's statistics against the non-minnows?

Right now its Ponting and Dravid at the very top. And Sehwag is the no.1 Pakistan- basher....of all time!

I think one thing I miss on this forum is a bit of humor. Too much seriousness is bad for health.

The big fellow Inzamam-ulhaq

I think this question is very easy the big fellow Inzamam-Ul-Haq. He has it all he plays very good and calm. I like that he never shows fear or losing in his eyes. Inzamam is a test and ODI player he can play deffensive and AGRRESIVE at any time. INZI you are the best
