Sachin went past 16000 ODI runs today. Genius. Legend. God.

Yeah, he's a damn legend and from a neutral's point of view, I'm glad he didn't turn into a joke when it seemed like he would(elbow injury, horrific form). He's back to pure little master.

Henry, I believe he has a bit of FTB mixed in with the Genius and Legend . . .only fair to add that before agreeing to the former epithets.

Well that's true for every great batsman. Give a great batsman a flat pitch, and he'll more often than not hammer the bowling. I don't see why you have to add the ftb bit to suggest,"Yeah he's good, but...."

You know you're just being provocative.

Amazing achievement, but depressing that he's not been part of a team that's won a major ODI tournament.

So today he has 27700+ runs in the international arena! Isn't that something mind boggling?

It is. As I said, he's back to his best(just about) at his age, whereas others just fade away. Which is why I reckon he can easily pass 30,000 runs.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is the greatest thing to have happened to this game since Sir Viv.

Not sure. There's Brian Charles Lara for one.

Well. It's taken him long enough. When you take away Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, Tendulkar has finally gone past the 10,000 run mark.

Only took him 19 years and 147 Tests.....

Compare the number of kids who picked up a cricket bat after watching Sachin Tendulkar to the number of kids who started playing the game after watching Lara.

Brilliant argument. That means that Sachin Tendulkar is better than Bradman because Sachin happens to be born in the largest cricket playing nation in the world.

No, you misunderstood the point. I never said that he was better than Lara or Bradman or Viv.
