    That a good article there. They followed impact analysis rather than simple stats. A complexity in that system makes its accurate. Normally it is difficult to compare bowlers with batsmen. But impact analysis allows to compares by means of impact they made. Nice system.

    1. Tendulkar’s impact is greater than what his 48 ODI centuries reveal.

    Of course, some of the half centuries made better impact than centuries.

    2. Tendulkar’s 200 is not his most landmark innings.

    People has a habit of calculating most highest runs in an innings as best innings. Actually, thats not a correct way. You don't need to make a top score,but you need to make best impact. one such example explained by them Sharjah innings against Australia.

    3.Tendulkar’s runs tally and batting average both do not reveal his true place in ODI cricket.

    This points is about batting average. Some of the players are having high batting average(9 people). But they played less matches, less runs & they had more not outs. To score the same runs with same batting average is very difficult. he maintained such record which places him above those people who had high batting average than him.

    4. Contrary to what many think, Tendulkar has absorbed pressure more times than any Indian in his ODI career.

    I don't know the way they used to calculated the pressure factors. They said 142 matches. But it is very simple that, he faced more pressure than any other batsman.

    5. Contrary to popular assumption, Tendulkar has chased down more targets than any other batsman in ODI history.

    This is a slap to the criticizers who says he is not a match winner. Who expects him to win the match by alone. He scored more runs while chasing. He is the part of most successful chases.

    6. Against popular perception, Tendulkar has more series/tournament-defining performances than any batsman in ODI history.

    This shows his consistency. Some batsmen are like a flash. They bats well in one innings and then no best performance in other matches. Most series performances makes him, best consistent batsman in ODI history.

    7. Tendulkar’s Strike Rate is remarkable for someone who has scored as heavily as he has.

    If we check the other 10K+ runs scorers. They are having batting strike rate less than 80. But tendulkar has 86*. Maintaining such a strike rate is remarkable.

    8. Tendulkar has played the most matches for India and yet has the lowest failure rate for batsmen.

    This is also one of the consistency factor. Some batsman maintains their average with up and down stats(big innings & flop innings). Sehwag is one of them. But Sachin has lowest failure even though he played more number of matches.

    9. Tendulkar is the greatest Indian ODI batsman by a mile.

    No one can argue this. He is almost untouchable.

    10. Tendulkar is the greatest ODI batsman of his generation.

    some criticizers come up with one point where he has one step low as per stat. But when we check whole points, he is miles ahead. Greatest batsman!

    1. It is real because many of his non 100 innings were a key to achievements for Local indian native.

    2. Definitely bogus because it was a unforgettable go with and a first of its type.

    3. Actual because he has performed above 450 suits and it would definitely impact his regular but it is still well above 48.

    4. Actual. Indians depend on him a lot.

    5. May be. It is complex to say. Relatively he has performed more suits so obviously he would have more benefits to his name.

    6. Same solutions as the fifth.

    7. Probably not. There are many more complicated players than him.

    8. I don't think so. He has got many other chicken ans individual wide range ratings.

    9. Until 2008. Then there was a lot of competitors. Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Dhoni and now Kohli. But he is truly a tale.

    10. Yes. Because until 1990s not many ODI mathces were performed. He and ODI have started together.

    1. It is true because many of his non 100 innings were a key to success for India.

    2. Absolutely false because it was a memorable match and a first of its kind.

    3. True because he has played above 450 matches and it would surely affect his average but it is still well above 48.

    4. True. Indians rely on him a lot.

    5. May be. It is difficult to say. Comparatively he has played more matches so obviously he would have more wins to his name.

    6. Same answers as the fifth.

    7. Probably not. There are many more hard hitters than him.

    8. I don't think so. He has got many ducks ans single digit scores.

    9. Till 2008. Then there was a lot of competition. Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Dhoni and now Kohli. But he is truly a legend.

    10. Yes. Because till 90's not many ODI mathces were played. He and ODI have grown together.

    Probably the best ODI player for India.

    I'd pick Symonds, Kirsten or Lara from the same generation though as greater for ODI in the last twenty years. On strike rate and team wins.

    Pity he never got 250 let alone 300.

    And ball tampering will tarnish his career.
