An economics researcher found an answer to one of the biggest debates in international cricket. Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest Test batsman ever on the end of the Australian legend Sir Donald Bradman.
"Griffith University researcher Dr. Nicholas Rohde has used economic theory to comparebatsmen from different eras, and said India's Little Master, which will be paved against the Australians at the MCG on Boxing Day, carries the history of Willow First , "reported 'The Australian'.The 38-year-old Tendulkar the world record 15,183 runs from 184 Tests at an average of 56.02since its inception in 1989.Bradman, on the other hand, has played 52 Tests from 1928 to 1948, scoring 6996 runs at anastonishing average of 99.94. He died in 2001 aged 92.Dr Rohde said a theoretical analysis above puts Tendulkar Bradman."The rankings are designed to allow meaningful comparisons of players careers of different lengths," Dr. Rohde said."It's about emotional and there will always be a debate between proponents of Test cricket onthe relative performance of different drummers career," he added.The rankings by the researcher were created based on changes from a global player career,minus the total number of runs an average player at that time would accumulate the same number of innings.
Allan Border (September) and Steve Waugh (nine) were the other Australian batsmen in the top 10. Rahul Dravid (fourth) and Sunil Gavaskar (eighth) are the other Indians in the list.
Dr Rohde said it was possible that Tendulkar and Bradman could switch places several times before the Indian retired as a loss of form would affect his position.
Sachin Tendulkar fans are so obsessed with his 100th hundred who missed avery interesting piece of statistics.Sachin, who has so far recorded 51 centuries in Tests and 48 ODIs in, also 27 tons of first classto his credit. His grand total of centuries amounts to 126 - nine more than Don Bradman's career count is 117.
There were, of course, not day ODIs Bradman is. Hundreds of Don 117, 29 came in 52 tests, while the rest came from first class cricket. Incidentally, Bradman was 39 when he completed his one hundred cents. Sachin, who is on the verge of his ton tons, 38.
In terms of international hundreds, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting, with 69 tonnes, to his credit, is a second poor Sachin.
