Kohli will do it i reckon. He's already a better player than Tendulkar, would love for him to have the record to prove it.
Smith might as well, i just wonder if his "technique" will hold up as he ages
He's a better ODI player in which he is a freak but as a test player he's about even so far.
@KiwiPie said in Other Cricket:
So of the "big 4" who is most likely to pass Tendulkar's record of 51 test tons.
Smith is 30 and has 25 - tests to pass Sachin at current rate = 141 (76 more)
Kohli is 30 and has 25 - 157 (80 more)
Williamson is 29 and has 20 - 184 (112 more)
Root is 28 and has 16 - 262 (180 more)So Root is youngest and plays the most tests per year but also has the worst conversion rate so would need to improve this a lot. Kane is probably least likely as NZ play so few tests and would have to play past 40.
A few years back there was a real tussle to see who the best was out of this "big four" and I think the order you've listed is about right.
First two, enough said, all time greats of any era.
Our Kane, far and away our best ever test batsman with years to compile an even better record. May end up our best ever cricketer......a big "if".....
Root, average has dipped to under 49.....still excellent but getting to the point where he isn't worthy enough to be in this discussion......

Kyle Abbott claims the best 4th best ever bowling figures in the county championship and 10th best in first class cricket - 17-86
Bumrah is out with an injury.
Not shocking when you consider his action. Stress fracture in his back.
I sort of expected his shoulder to fly apart first.
Wow! Nearly non-existent now.
Zim lost to Singapore last night.

Not sure where to post this, so just sticking it here, but England just took a 2-1 lead with an innings victory over South Africa in South Africa. 1 match left in the series.
Adds a bit more perspective to the quality of our performance over the summer.

@Cyclops yeah, and very interesting given Oz pasting India in ODIs. For all our limp performance in our latest series we aren't quite as shit as we've been painted!
2-1 series win to India wasn't it? Not sure I would call that Aus pasting India.

The 1 was a 10 wicket win chasing 250 odd. That's a humiliation, doubly so at home. India bounced back well though.
SA England test 4 starts tonight. England ahead 2-1 after losing the first - should be quite tasty. Hopefully SA get up. Coudl be the last tests for Philander and DuPlessis.
9pm - i think it's on Sky Sport somewhere

Can't find the other cricket thread.
I see the worlds oldest 16 year old got a hat-trick
Those claims of 15 or 16 year old Pakistani cricketers always have to be taken with a large dose riiiiight...

how in the fuck does David Warner win the Alan Border Medal over loose bus change?
Surely you need mental fortitude to win the Alan Border Medal? Blubbing on TV like a retard should automatically disqualify you.

Because he's a Marnus and his eyes are too close together?
Can't think of any other reason
