Newelly, you say they are a lil inconsistant, i cant name too many batsmen who have been consistant through their Careers.

Hayden didnt start all that well at all... Ponting has gone through many had times with Spin and Even Steve waugh has had inconsistant patches..

the only batsmen i can think of that has been fully consistant is Bradman

His risk taking has lead to inconsistency and some low scores. Remember Glen McGrath having his way with the Prince going back 5-6 years in the Sir Frank Worrell Trophy. His recent record against Australia in tests isn't great. Lara's form often follows the West Indies fortunes and lets face it the Windies have been barely a shadow of the powerhouse they were during the 70's through early 90's.

Lara had his glory period in the first half of the 90's where he tore everyone apart. Since then, personal probs and the decline of WI cricket have impacted on his appearances, consistancy and performance. Realistically, it has only been recently that he has approached anywhere near that level of performance.

Despite his mediocre performance on this tour and at the risk of attracting Donny's scorn, Tendulkar of all modern players has probably held the greatest level of consistency over the last 10-12 years.

Newelly u didnt answer my question!

Look at it like this, Anyone who averages 53 has got to be quite consistant, i think besides his injuries and personal problems threw the 98-99-00 years, he's been extreamly consistant and could of averaged in the 60's if not for those years.

And i agree with you on Sachin Wombat, he's probably the most consistant player ive seen anyway.

Wombat, your comment - "Tendulkar of all modern players has probably held the greatest level of consistency over the last 10-12 years" - dosen't attract my scorn, just this:

"THE longest and worst slump of his career has forced Sachin Tendulkar out of the top 10 batsmen in world cricket for the first time since 1993.

Tendulkar has gone a year and 12 innings without scoring a century.

It is the longest time he has been without a ton in his 14-year career.

Other lean streaks came at the start of Tendulkar's career when he took nine months to score his maiden Test century and again in 1997 when he failed to score a century for 6 months and averaged 26.9 over 10 innings.

On last year's West Indies tour and the start of an England tour he went 10 innings without a ton over a three-month period.

Doesn't sound consistent to me.

Another example of people repeating this "Sach is a cricket god" stuff when all he really is, is a very classy batsman on his day who has the failings of any other 'mortal' batsman.

My dear friend and unabashed Charlie lover, Anthony (couragous cloke), writes, "Look at it like this, Anyone who averages 53 has got to be quite consistant"

Not so, mate. Scores like these - 0, 53, 0, 105, 1, 2, 156, 0, 1, 0 and 212 n.o. would give a batsman an average of 53. Very inconsistent.

And i agree with you on Sachin Wombat

I never said anything about the little known player of Sachin Wombat.

CC, Commonwombat said it for me. Also the question was why he wasn't rated the best in the world by some. I gave my reasons as did everyone else.

As you said he has the most double centuries of any batsmen. There's your answer for why he has an average above 50. That implies that in between the big scores there are sequences of small scores. Which is what we are talking about with consistency. Its no good scoring mammoth innings every 4th innings and then failing to barely get on the scoresheet in the next two to three. Especially when your team relies on you so dearly. Allan Border also carried an unfair burden and retained an average above 50.

lol your a crack up Don...

Got a point there, but im saying over a long period of time, generally consistant.

You seem to really hate Sachin Don.. Dont u think he's that good

couragous cloke · Post by **couragous cloke** » Tue Dec 23, 2003 12:36 pm

My question was... Who is a batsmen who has been CONSISTANT through their career??

Post by **Newelly** » Tue Dec 23, 2003 12:42 pm

What a load of sentimental, sacharine slop that article was. Was that hack one of Lara's famous maiden overs?

couragous cloke · Post by **couragous cloke** » Tue Dec 23, 2003 12:50 pm

sounds like another 1 of them arrogant Aussie fans.. geez they're building up these days

didnt answer my question, AGAIN

Post by **Newelly** » Tue Dec 23, 2003 12:56 pm

Allan Border, Sunil Gavaskar, Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards, The Don for just some off the top of my head. Steve Waugh for consistency over the last 5-6 years. Consistency for Lara? CC please read Donny and my statements regarding his average.

Post by **Newelly** » Tue Dec 23, 2003 12:57 pm

Arrogant? Lara is the king of arrogance. Your lips are too attached to the mans ass to see his inflate cranium.

couragous cloke · Post by **couragous cloke** » Tue Dec 23, 2003 12:59 pm

Allan Border, Sunil Gavaskar, Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards.

Every single 1 of them have had their rough patches. failures...

Steve Waugh! HAHAHA geez consistant
