Sachin Tendulkar vs Jacques Kallis

After Lara, Ponting, Dravid even Sehwag, the critics have started their 'comparison program' yet again. They say that Kallis is way better than Sachin. This will help them a bit.

Sachin averages 55 in England,
Kallis averages 29 in England,

Sachin averages 59 in Australia
Kallis averages 45 in Australia

Sachin averages 68 in Srilanka,
Kallis averages 35 in Srilanka,

Kallis is ahead of Sachin in Southafrica, Pakistan and Newzealand..... But at these places too Sachin averages 49; 40; 46; 47

It doesnt dip as Kallis's 29 and 35.

Now u vl argue Kallis plays in TOUGHER
CONDITIONS in SOUTHAFRICA and Sachin plays in INDIAN CONDITIONS which are easy to bat on.

But if Indian Conditions are easy to bat,
Why does PONTING average 26 in INDIA in last 15 years ??
Why does LARA average 33 in INDIA ?

Moreover, Even in TOUGHER CONDITIONS of England-
Australia,
Sachin is way ahead of him....

Kallis averages 39 vs Australia,
Sachin averages 60 vs Australia.

Now you will tel Kallis has burden on BOWLING,
Sachin has burden on playing ODIs continuously,

If Kallis has 11000 runs in ODIs,
Sachin has 18000 runs in ODIs....

If you wish to talk of Bowling BURDEN,
Talk of ODI BURDEN too.....

Talk about the Expectations of BILLION
SUPPORTERS....

Talk about LONGETIVITY,
Sachin managed to survive since 22 years, Kallis is playing since just 15 years.

Sachin averages 55 in England,
Kallis averages 29 in England,

Sachin averages 59 in Australia,
Kallis averages 45 in Australia

Sachin averages 68 in Srilanka,
Kallis averages 35 in Srilanka,

Sachin is way 20-30 points ahead of Kallis on averages in AUS-ENG-SRI...

Kallis averages 39 vs Australia,
Sachin averages 60 vs Australia.

Sachin vs England - 57
Kallis vs England - 42

Kallis vs Srilanka - 38,
Sachin vs Srilanka - 60

So,
You have the stats, Now tell us Whom do you consider better ?

Cricket Expert Opinion:-
As it shows here by the stats,
Kallis is yet to Stamp his Authority in Australia, He is yet to prove himself in England-Srilankan Conditions.

So Kallis cant be a better batsman then Tendulkar,
But Kallis does bowl, He has 275 Test Wickets,

This shows he has an extra Value as a BOWLER...

But

THAT DOES NOT MAKE HIM A BETTER BATSMAN THAN THE MASTER!

Sachin Tendulkar in series finals

India's 46-run win in the final of the Compaq Cup was only their fourth win in ODI finals in 21 attempts since 2000.
Sachin Tendulkar has notched up scores of 117 not out, 91 and 138 in the last three finals
Here are more stats highlights from the game.
Sachin Tendulkar's 138 was his sixth hundred in finals, and it pushed his overall average in such matches up to an impressive 55.54. In his last three finals, he has notched up scores of 117 not out, 91 and 138, and India have won each of those matches.

In all, Tendulkar has scored 1833 runs in finals, which is easily the highest - Sanath Jayasuriya is next with 1613. Tendulkar also ranks very high in terms of all-time averages in finals: among those who've scored at least 500 runs in finals, only three have a higher average. One of them is India's current coach, Gary Kirsten - in 20 innings, he scored 1019 runs at an excellent average of 69.73. Tendulkar's stats are very similar to those of Viv Richards, who averaged 55.73 at a strike rate of 84.78 in 17 finals. Brian Lara, on the other hand, has struggled in finals, averaging only 28.16, more than 12 runs below his career average. His one century and two fifties all came in his first four innings; in his last 14 finals, his highest score was 35.

The Man-of-the-Match award was Tendulkar's 59th in ODIs, and his eighth in finals. It was also his 14th Player-of-the-Series award. Tendulkar leads the all-time list in both categories - he is 11 clear of the second-placed Jayasuriya in the match awards and three ahead in the series awards.

Rahman's contribution is immense: Sachin

Batting ace Sachin Tendulkar is extremely elated by India's showing at the Oscars.

"It is a brilliant achievement. For the entire nation, it is a very proud moment," Tendulkar said this morning.

The master blaster, who had had a word with A R Rahman a couple of days ago, was confident that the musical genius will walk away with the honours.

"Rahman's contribution to music has been immense and this award is only a mere reflection of what he has been able to contribute to music and to India.

"I had spoken to him not only about this, but about other albums as well. He has always been able to produce something special in every album," Tendulkar said.

Rahman won two Oscars - for the best original score and the best song.

Sachin the great ! - Aamir khan's blog.

Little old, but adding... Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan wrote on his blog:

Last night I watched the IPL final and what an exciting match it was. I don’t think we could have asked for a better finale to a most entertaining tournament. Rajasthan after beginning as the least likely to win at the start of the tournament went on to win the cup. My congratulations to the Rajasthan team and supporters. Chennai, hard luck but very well fought. Mumbai Indians is the team I’m supporting for obvious reasons, and I was disappointed that we weren’t in the finals, but next time. In fact I think all teams gave it their best but there can only be one winner, and jo jeeta wohi sikander. My guess is that in a very short time we should have the best side on an international level, what with all the young talent being thrown up.

The match last night was certainly exciting but what made it a unique experience for me was that I had Sachin next to me. You will find this hard to believe but Sachin was able to predict every ball before it was bowled. “He is going to bowl a bouncer next”,
“This one is going to be a slower one”, “Full tilt outside the off stump”, “Next one will be a yorker”, “Short of length”. It was uncanny. HE GOT IT RIGHT EACH TIME!!! No wonder its so difficult to bowl to him. He has an amazing instinct. And he told me his logic for each prediction which I wont share with you as I don’t want to reveal how his mind works. But all of us were dumbfounded with his instinct and his acumen. So at the end of it I told him next time we watch a film together I’m going to tell him whats going to happen next!
