best of 2009-Tendulkar's 175

[naz_ca]

I think it is the best knock of 2009 from the greatest player of cricket.

Tendu>Bradman

[Tigers_eye]

Losing cause can not be the best, period.

Naeem' innings > Tendu' innings.

Those who taken some college math knows where the equation is heading.

and Naeem won that alone. now which one is better?

[magic boy]

but I'd say Tamim's 150+ has been best so far in 2009 as it was also one handedly victorious.

Coventry's cant be overlooked..... be it for Zimbabwe.

Tendulkar is one of the greatest no doubt but I'm not sure hez the best match winner of even his own era. It could be argued that Lara, Punter and maybe even Inzi were better finishers than him. The match in question here exemplifies my point. The little master played a gem of an innings to get his team to a comfortable 332/6 with 18 needed from 17 balls with no other recognized batsman to follow, yet he cudn't finish it off for his team.

No such argument can be made about a certain Mr. Brad. If he played in this era where we have a) pitches taylor made for batsmen, b) shorter boundaries, c) restriction on bouncers, d) inclusion of so called minnows, I'd back him to score at avg of 150+

TIK, who did not bogged his natural ability down and won it like a hero. Tendy is known for his ability but it was home ground and could not make it. I believe he ran out of genuine partner. Again ineptibility of Dhoni is exposed, and the need of Ganguly revisited.

[Imteaz]

Well Played Tendulkar.

[nobody]

Tamim's effort was hand down best. Remember Aussies were playing its C team considering the difference between BD and Zim and that of Ind and Aus it is not evn come close to Tendy's best. And Tendy is the worst finisher of the batting greats. Inzy consistently shows that how to win game single handedly (Aus with Mushy score 50 in last wicket against McGrath, Warne; Bangladesh also could certify), Lara added more than 60 with Walsh and tendy consistently could not finish game with 3/4 wickets in hand (for example Cheenai 1999 againest Aqram, Saqi)

Here we go again, when you are tributing to some legend than we come out to spotlight on our own kids who are even just a born baby to international cricket. We are already making them greater than great legends, even though these kids have got entire life to hunt the mission and survive at this level, we even don't know how many of them can survive unless they have been achieved half of the achievements that those legends earned such as Tendulkar, probably then we can start to ponder are those kids are gonna be greater than this legend or that.

Agree, it all sounds a bit immature .....

[_Rafi_]

Tendu's 175 runs innings is most classy but not the best. He ended up his innings by trying to play an adventuras shot and let his team down on a crucial moment.

[nycpro96]

Tamim's 150 was great.

That line says it all.
Though it was a superb innings, can't be the best of 2009.

"Almost" is the key word;
innings those won the match alone > innings those almost won it alone

That is why its not the best.

Win (any innings) > Loss (any innings).
Doesn't matter how classy chanceless innings it is. Doesn't matter if Warne, McGrath is bowling. A winning knock is ALWAYS > than any losing knock. I am sure, Tendu would traded the 175 knock if that would give them a win, and the series would still be alive.

What part of the above equation you don't understand? Who don't have brains? Think; think hard please. No almost, no excuses.

Naz_ca, always remember it is a Bangladeshi website and We here go by certain unwritten rulles of engagement, that is showing respect to elders and or to strangers, I would show respect to your father and mother even if I didn't know them and if I stumbled upon them in Scarborough, Ontario.

Please restrain yourself from calling someone a fool, retard or brainless not knowing what that person accomplished in his life. Remember, this is a Bangladesh cricket based cultural forum, not a sport bar and please remember, it is after all a sport related topic and we are simply talking about a sportsman and comparing his batting score with another, we may not agree upon what we induvidually beleive but no matter how emotional we get, we should not cross that line where we insult a person on mere disagreemant of 2 players accomplishment, especially when that person we are insulting contributed a lot to this forum, humanity and Bangladesh.

I wouldn't even bother to write this unless you and I, we spoke before regarding other things of life in this forum. Remember, you get respect only when we show respect to others.

It's as simple as that.

Can't be the best...

A particular innings of Nayeem > A particular innings of Tendu.......(i)
Nayeem > Tendu .......(ii)

Are these two equations same? No, they are completely different. No one is saying that Nayeem is better than Tendu. Try to understand before commenting like that.

Naz_ca ..you need chill man ! Tendulkar doesnt need you as a Lawyer to push his case...
His innings was out of the world ..no questions but at the end of the day India lost .

Also people in here are entitled to their own opinions ...after all we are all guided by our own prejudices and pre-conceived opinions ..arnt we not ?

Take a chill pill !! Great innings but at the end we lost ...so I dont think its the best ..would have been if we won.

[Tigers_eye]

Dear Naz, my apologies for all the unwanted comments.

Ground rules: Let us discuss civilized way. We can always agree to disagree at the end.

1. The whole world knows who is better. The thread is not who is better. Tendu is better than anyone who picked up a cricket bat. 30k intl runs is no joke. But that is not we are discussing here.

2. 175 is a great knock. No doubt about that. So is Conventry's 194 (NOT OUT). That is a world record. Certainly Tamim's knock was also a pressured one. Naeem's knock is also a great one. How many batsmen in world had done what Naeem has done? Do a research please. I'd take Inzi's innings but that is all about I can remember.

3. Who remembers losers? His dog and wife (even that is an iffy). Who lost the stanley cup three years back? Who cares is the answers. Super bowl? World Cup Football? Same answer. No one remembers how many times England made it to the World Cup finals. Everyone remembers they never hoisted the cup as of now.

4. Bowling strength you have argued at one point. Yes, 3rd string Aussie attack? Braken, Lee, Siddle, ABCDEF how many more missing?

Without a "W" everything else matter nought in my book. Therefore, no matter how much classy, breathe taking that innings was, it will always be less than the all the single handed winnings knocks with lesser numbers in this year. I would even rate Dhoni's winning knock over Tendu's losing knock.

Yes, 70 something is not even half of 175. But still it is a winning knock and that is the bottom line.

So refute if you can

Naeem's innings > tendu's innings and obviously Tendu's 175 is not 2009's best no matter how great it may be.
