Pebbles oh!!! pebbles or lack of them.

FB, the test stats are showing wrong figures under the headings...well now having 228 NO's really is 'fattening' the truth.:)

ehsan · January 12, 2004, 8:08am

Great achievement by Ganguly. Well done. :k:

coOoLBreeze · January 12, 2004, 9:04am

The amazing part is that all those so called gora greats of England,Australia or NZ are not in the lead.. otehr wise who ever plays 50 odd matches for England or New Zealand he becomes all the times great :)

Great acheiveemnt for ganguly n India

Decent_6Chora · January 12, 2004, 1:37pm

and the reason is quite clear. When we look at the list of top 10 “Most Matches Played” list there are only 2 players out of Asia.

Wasim Akram Pakistan 356
Azharuddin, M India 334
Waugh, S R Australia 325
Tendulkar, S R* India 322
De Silva, P A Sri Lanka 308
Jayasuriya, S T* Sri Lanka 308
Inzamam-Ul-Haq* Pakistan 305
Salim Malik Pakistan 283
Border, A R Australia 273
Ranatunga, A Sri Lanka 269

I think Ganguly will leave Tendulkar behind by the time both retire. Good job Ganguly :k:

elahi · January 12, 2004, 10:04pm

Ganguly is a great player,,,
The obvious reason for the large number of Asians as leaders in ODI stats is cause so much ODI cricket is played in Asia.

fair_balance · January 12, 2004, 10:25pm

Never..Difference of 3500 is too much.He needs to play 80-90 ODI to reach there.by that time Tendulkar would be 400 runs ahead of him.

Good Job Gangualy :k:

here is Lara's record



           M    I  NO  Runs   HS     Ave     SR 100  50   Ct  St
         224  219  23  8437  169   43.04  79.15  18  52   95   0

he needs to make 550 runs in 12 matches to be fastest to reach 9000.Quite possible but difficult.

I guess you are right, they’ll both retire around same time, so he may not cross Tendulkar
