      Another butthurt Indian on TH-cam taking things personally. Relax man. This is just a conversation where three people are trying to discuss a topic. If you ask me, I still think Sachin is partially better because of some of your arguments. But there are arguments to be made for Root here. Sachin scored a lot of runs and centuries against weaker teams like Zimbabwe, West Indies, Bangladesh, England (who were way weaker then). Out of his 51 centuries, India won only 20 matches out of which only 3 were outside the subcontinent. Joe Root with England won 21 matches when he scored a century with about 7 played outside of England, Australia or New Zealand (where you can say have pitches suiting Root) and he still has gas left in his tank to play. India's bowling attack back then wasn't great, agreed, but you cannot easily determine if the matches were won because of a match winning innings or good bowling. You would have to go through each match to know that. Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan, and Kumble were world class bowlers back then too btw.

Not to mention he played in an era where bats were half of what it is today, different and tougher conditions and another level of bowling attacks.

But don't make excuses about being wrongly given out, everyone suffered from bad decisions and I can guarantee he was given not out numerous times when he was definitely out. It's swings and round-a-bouts, taking the good with the bad, or what ever idiom you choose to use. But don't make excuses, otherwise we could start making excuses that Don Bradman would have scored far more runs today given the safety equipment, ground conditions, better quality equipment and not to mention being paid to play. Comparing players from different eras is always based on opinions and nothing more.

    I somehow still have a sneaking suspicion that Root will fall short. He certainly is young enough and can play enough tests, but I have noticed that most English and Australian batsmen tend to want to retire to do other things post 35. I mean, Cook was in a similar position to Root and he was pretty young when he retired. One benefit for him is that he can essentially leave ODI cricket, since there is so little of that played anyways. Sachin was playing a huge volume of ODI cricket and test cricket for most of his career.
    When it comes to being the best, its really difficult to look past Sachin in any measure. To play 200 tests, make that many runs, that many centuries, and be so extraordinarily consistent wherever he plays and against whomever he plays. I think Sachin's most extraordinary test stat is that he averages at least 40 in every country he's played in and against every opposition he has ever played against. The only country in which he hasn't scored a century in is Zimbabwe where he only played 4 tests. That is an incredible stat. One that I doubt can be replicated by anyone soon.

    If Joe Root could face the likes of prime Wasim, Waqar, McGrath, Warne, Donald, Muralitharan, Walsh, Ambrose, Mushtaq, while carrying a batting lineup and without DRS, then we would have a debate. Sure, the bowlers today are quite good, and will be considered legends in a few years time. But the game is much more geared towards the batsman these days.

    This will trigger the Indians but as an Englishman who should be biased I cannot. Tendulkar was fabulous. Faced the best era of international fast bowling and the 2 greatest spinners. Akram, Donald, Steyn, Pollard, Ambrose, Walsh, Younis, Mcgrath, Lee, Akhtar, and he still won most battles. Roots record in Australia cannot be ignored. Great player but not the best!

  • @abhijeetsamal8302
    @abhijeetsamal8302 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Always look at the lens of 3 key elements which define real batting greatness - overall quality of opposition attacks during the batting lifespan, ability to play pace and spin with ease, and ability to perform in immense pressure. Easy to see that the period between 1980 to 2001 saw the most legendary bowlers the game has ever graced. Let's face it - Root never faced the quality of bowlers seen during the whole of the 90s - Aus, SA, Pak, WI had fearsome attacks in that era - Tendulkar was literally a one man army for the team the whole of the 90s whilst carrying 1bn people's hopes, and dominated in all conditions. Sachin had a stellar record against Warne and Muralitharan. Talk about 2010-onwards era which Root has been part of, none of the spinners barring Ashwin and Lyon are anywhere near the quality of 90s era. This comparison between Sachin and a flatlining average attack basher like Joe Root doesn't even merit discussion. Root may have 15k plus runs if he gets there, but he's nowhere near the pinnacle league where the likes of Sachin and Lara reside.

      Ashwin, Lyon, Maharaj, Jadeja, Axar are easily equal to the quality of that era, if not better, Murali, Warne, Kumble and Harbhajan are the only top quality spinners, harbhajan was a little lower. Sachin never faced two of them, he faced the other two on either flat aussie wickets, or flat Indian wickets. You all are so stupid to think that when nearly every single test bowler in this era bowls 90 mile an hour batting is easier, Cummins, Bumrah, Starc, Hazlewood, Rabada, Shaheen, Naseem and a bunch of bowlers i might not remember are all brilliant and have amazing test records home and away, are you an idiot? Average attack basher it seems, what is sachins record against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh? Joe root carried his batting lineup WHEN NOT A SINGLE BATTER, FROM 2018 to 2022 even averaged 30, he has one of the best batting years of all time on swinging nippy pitches against the two best bowling lineups. Sachin has Dravid, Sehwag, laxman, Azhar, Ganguly and a bunch of legendary batters by his side. Just cause youre indian doesnt mean you bullshit everyone else

    England play a lot of test cricket compared to other nations, including India. There is more to greatness than just volume of runs scored. Lara and Bradman are low down on the list of top run makers, but are better than most of the players above them in the list, and rightly considered all time greats. Root is certainly one of the best test batsmen of the current era, but I'm not even sure if he's England's best ever test batter, if you're comparing him with all time greats like Hutton and Hobbs. I would even rank Pietersen above him, despite Pietersen having scored fewer runs an having a lower average, purely because of the impact he had. There are plenty of test batters I would rank above Root, the following players are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head: Bradman, Viv Richards, Lara, Sobers, Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Sangakara, Miandad, Alan Border, Martin Crowe, KP... basically there are lot of batsmen I would consider ahead of Root.

    Root has to play a minimum of 43 test matches at an average of 45 per innings (current avg = 41) to pass Sachin. Eng played 8 tests last year. This means Root has to play another 5 years with an average that he currently is short off. Really!!!

      Longevity isn't related to stress. It's related to hunger and motivating yourself. When you are doing well in any area of life, after sometime hunger dies. That's where the difference between great and greatest gets defined.
      Sachin not only outlasted others, he even began early. It takes some serious talent to play that Windies, Pak, Australian bowlers at the age of 16. I can bet people didn't even know when root or cook were of 16 and then we have Sachin playing at international stage.

Thats why i dont think we should compair root with sachin, i think he will easily break sachin's record but he can never match the legacy and quality of sachin. He is just making runs agains weaker opponents.
