Can Babar Azam replicate Sachin Tendulkar?

if its a bowler
a fast bowler than its easy to how good he is

but a batter?
a pakistani batter?

There is no way to say how good he is
To me he just looks an overhyped player

I hope he proves me wrong but after Inzamam Mohamamd yousuf and Younis Khan(at start he was decent) we have not produced international quality player

So I don't think he is any special

Further, to prove his mettle he needs to play against strong opposition on trying wickets
A century or a back to back century against sri indi eng counts for nothing

So I don't think that he is that good

I hope he proves me wrong but to me thats the way how it looks
 
Now this is a genuine comparison. The bloke has done really, really well in ODI cricket so far and I hope he manages to achieve more. The Ahmed Shehzad comparison was a big joke, this is the bloke to look out for.
 
If Babar maintains this average for another 50 games, you'll see the hate being exported from across the border.

Sachin couldn't score an ODI century outside Asia against the away opposition for around a decade.

This kid has already done it.

Yeah sure but Sachin had better test record,away centuries in Aus,England,SA before he turned even 20.

Sure, so let us assume he is a better ODI batsman than Sachin.

Indeed, he was a better Test player than ODI, where he's overrated a bit.
 
I would say why one has to compare a player with the players of the past. I mean there was no Viv Richards before. There was no Sachin or Sehwag before. There was no de Villiers before. They are the first ones and made their own identity. So I would say he will be Babar Azam. Every player has his own style of play and they are all different.
So no comparison please !
 
It's just cruel to compare somebody to Sachin.
[MENTION=133315]Hitman[/MENTION] I know what you are doing. :msd
 
Well he has a habit of going for personal milestones over the team's needs so definitely there are grounds for comparison with Sachin.

Look man, no matter how talented he looks or whatever, what Tendulkar did is no joke. And it's not because he has that many centuries or so many runs, it's because he consistently played that well for a long period of time. I don't think we'll ever see a cricketer play at that level over a span of 24 years again.
 
Tendulkar is the most prolific batsman in the history of the game, and amongst the greatest in the modern era. How is a young upstart being mentioned even in the same sentence as him?

A 17 yr old Sachin did better against Wasim , Waqar and Imran in Pakistan than Babar has against Trundlers - so please atleast make some sense

Tendulkar may not be the one to click in finals but has single handedly carried his team to WC final twice in 2003 and 2011. He was the one who led India to ODI series win in AUS and had 4 test tons in countries like ENG, AUS and SA while he was still 19. How many tons Babar had before he touched 20?:srt

Tendulkar's first 4 tons in test matches came not only outside India but outside Asia in ENG, SA and AUS, that too when he was just 19. Unlike Babar he didn't faced pop gun attacks like that of WI. If he gets to play this WI attack even at this age, atleast a couple more tons can be added to tally of 100.

You mean the selfish Innings Sachin played in Sharjah against the Aussies or his debut against Pakistan in Pakistan or practically every world cup match where he carried the team alone , most recently the 2011 semi against Pak ?

Only if he plays more often against other teams cause 4 out of 5 ODI tons have come against mighty Windies attack.

And unlike you guys, people across border don't compare players for time pass and then later get disappointed.
Remember 'Shehzad is the answer to Kohli, Shehzad is more talented than Tendulkar, Akmal is our Kohli, Babar is next Tendulkar and bla bla bla....' ?:troll

BTW my friend, there are some players who have the record of most number of runs in ODIs without a single ton. I bet by their retirement, either of Jadeja/Ashwin will have a century in ODI for sure, provided they come at 5 or 6.

Yeah, of course he'll play a variety of opponents over his next 50 games. I didn't make any of those ridiculous comparisons though and even with this one, I want Babar to be Babar and aim to be anyone else.

Besides, if he does want to look up to someone, he should look towards AB, Viv or Ponting.

Well, of course. You can definitely speak for yourself and you do seem to be one of those that come here for the enriching discussions rather than to troll but unfortunately, there are not many like you here.
 
He should concentrate on his batting and ignore any comparisons with Sachin,Kohli, or any other batsmen.

He was a top Test player, who's denying that? Just a bit overrated in ODIs.

Also, Misbah doesn't have a century and he's rightly not counted among the greats like Ponting. He's not of that caliber.
 
Looks like there is a community effort to somehow diminish SRT !!! Let it go. He was what he was .... it is all in the books now .... he can't add or subtract anything to his numbers. Read what others, non-Indians, say about SRT !!!

Viv and Ponting are fine but not AB, he chokes like his other team mates at crucial stages and also he's afraid to take responsibility when it matters the most.
 
Comparing Babar with Tendulkar, that's what you call being carried away. Keep your expectation checked and hope for the best for the young man, please.
 
Let give Babar another 3 years before comparing him to other greats

For a long time Sachin had one of the best records in finals of matches, he failed in 2 WC finals but one of them was chasing 360 in Australia so the sample size is really too small.
 
Babar Azam in this series against the C grade West Indies side -


72, 9*, 0, 0, 55, 0
 
Please don't compare your bats to the likes of sachin and Kohli. They always decline after such comparisons. Umar,Shehzad,Shafiq and now Babars ducks. :facepalm:
 
He has a long way to go in Tests but I think and dearly hope he will get there.

Comparing to Sachin, I'm not so sure about that.
 
The OP seems to be talking about ODIs. :usman

Babar Azam after 26 ODIs: 1322 runs, avg. 55 SR 90, 5 hundreds
Sachin Tendulkar after 26 ODIs: 656 runs, avg 28.5, SR 81.6, 0 hundreds

Replicate? Already better. :srt

What position was tendulkar playing till his first 26 ODI's? And what was the kind of score which teams were putting up then? What average was considered good for that era?
 
There you go. The egg hasn't hatched yet and there is talk of its own chicks. :))
 
Lol so some people start trolling the master and then people feel the need to defend him? Sachin has achieved more than anyone else, is in almost every world XI.. his record speaks for itself no need to defend him against some trolls on PP..

Sachin in ODI's is selfish? :facepalm:

He was the only reason why India was taken seriously. He was a one man army.

You are too obvious with your agenda here. Sachin only played for his mile stone for the 100th 100. That was the only selfish inning i have seen from him.
 
In putting personal milestones over team's cause, a big YES.

Lol, another self loathing Indian putting down his own players. I don't think more than 1 or 2 of Sachin's 100s were below 100 strike rate after the 80s
 
Before Sachin there used to be someone who was better than Sachin. So, yes it is possible for someone to come who will perform better than Sachin, break Sachin's records and it will be all fine because it is part of the game, unless you are Indian.
 
I'm sorry folks. Sachin's demons in the 90s are very well documented. The guy got weak in the knees and his feet suddenly used to became engulfed by concrete as soon as he entered the 90s. That's the biggest hallmark of a selfish player as evidenced by his astoundingly high number of dismissals in the 90s.

In other words, you cannot list some selfish innings from him.

Ended in 90s 17 times
Ended in 60s 28 times
Ended in 30s 46 times

If 17 is astounding number for some one playing 400+ ODIs then 28 should be even more astounding. I don't even know what to call 46 here.
 
Babar first need to become a run machine in all formats to even think of replicating Tendulkar or any world class batsmen in the world.

He is overhyped without any performance backing up behind either in tests or first class cricket.

Glad to know Pakistan found such a great batsman who surpassed a batsman who did consistently good for 24 years, in such a short time and of course who cares about test cricket, the real cricket is playing limited overs cricket against SL in UAE.

And some posters think they have vast cricketing knowledge.

Player reaches 30 more often than 90 so obviously more likely to have more outs in 30s.... But nobody can deny Tendulkar is definition of nervous 90s..

What does that have to do with being selfish in the first place? If he was selfish, and played for the milestone, then he would have played more carefully in the 90s. Getting out more times in the 90s means the opposite.

Agree that you have higher chance to get out in 30 than in 90, but how is 17 is a an astounding high number for 90s when you consider number of ODIs?

So many posters denied in this same thread about nervous 90 being a hallmark for SRT.

That's a great yardstick you have, and a great try at sounding intelligent. Ironically, people who would throw away their wicket after scoring 90 would be far from selfish, as common sense tells. Then again, the problem with common sense is, its no so common. Hence, the dumbwit logic from you!

He was clearly reffering to pathetic stats shown by Indians in the Pandya vs Abdul Razaaq Thread.
 
On topic, it was not his best innings and far from it but still he managed a hundred on an not so easy pitch. He is well on his way to become an ODI legend.
