Will Joe Root beat Sachin Tendulkar's record in Tests for most runs?

Dear God please please let aus win ashes but allow root to score 500 runs. Let these numbnuts suffer.

Yup.

It can humble Indians if all Indian records get broken (Rohit Sharma's 264, Tendulkar's Test runs, Tendulkar's number of centuries etc.).

If Root breaks this record, I may celebrate it wtih a big beef steak. :inti

If root scores 508 runs in ashes then his avg goes to 40 vs Aus.

By then sachin fans will have run out of genuine excuses and will start making fools of themsleves by constantly changing the goal post
 
Joe Root is just 120 runs short of becoming the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket history.

He will easily get it, a few flat phattas and no pressure games will be on the horizon in the coming years, will go past 16k imo... Matter of fact if he tours Pakistan 3 more times before his career ends that alone would net him an easy peezy 1500 - 1700 runs..

😁
 
I will only start taking this thread seriously once he crosses 14k runs.
 
Amazing. Sachinistas pretending not to take a thread seriously after posting 100s of posts.

Do the cult ever stop with their lies?
 
Test debutant don’t need to tell Senior Test Player what is truth and what is lie. They must learn to follow what the Senior Test Player is saying. :kp :inti
 
Post 101.

Sachinistas have the same amount of credibility as a Tendulkar 100 - most never resulted in wins.

Nobody cares about this record lol But it is a useful topic to troll guys like you. Guy who is going to break this record is an ENglish batsman. But acting like a pakistani going to break the record is really funny. Sachin did break Anwar's record.
 
TBH, day by day, I am thinking like Root might not be able to do it anymore. He might become the 2nd one though for sure.

In case he doesn’t then you or other PP posters will say-

‘Root could have gone on to overtake the record but unlike Sachin, he plays for his country and not chase milestones. That’s a difference between an actual team player and a self obsessed one.’

This way, it will be win-win situation for Pakistani fans both ways.

England fans also want root to break the record btw. You guys as indians are too obsessed with us for some reason.

Look at global trends for once. England despite being the inventors of cricket ironically have a poor atg inventory and are rarely brought up in the record books.

Having root over take Sachin effectively put root at no 1 in that category.

Bradman having the highest avg followed by root an English player having the most runs and possibly most cemturies would be a win for them.

Pakistani fans want the record to break yes because india isnt even a rival nation now, its a damn near hostile war nation vs PK. But you guys need to stop being so narrow minded.

This is huge for England fans.

Won't hear that excuse from me.
 
This thread recalls me the threads in 2006/07 with Pakistani posters fascinating Ponting racing past Tendulkar in the future. I still remember posters salivating about Ponting going past all records of Sachin. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:​
 
There was a time around about 2016 when people were salivating over A.Cook surpassing Sachin but the latter ended up retiring a year later at 12,500 runs. Joe Root will suffer a smiliar fate.

England wants root to break it. End of story

Get more runs at a better average, anything short of that and he will still be below Sachin.

Even if he does you will find a way to move the goal post in some way shape or form.

So why does it even matter at this point?

One thing I've always commended Joe Root for is his respect and regards for Test cricket.

More like Englan's respect. I don't think any team has played this many tests in such a short period. He has played over 150 tests in just 10 years It took ages for Asian players to hit that mark.
 
Root scoring 508 runs in Ashes. He should. No excuse not to. Must fix that 35 avg
 
Thats the thing about Tendulkars achievements, there is sweet FA to do to beat his records other than to simply play longer.

As mentioned, Tendulkar’s career is the generic statistical bell curve. This is why Sachinsta’s start talking about the wuality of runs. Borsepukky - runs are runs, whats matters are wins. Cough cough.

Sachinistas pretend they do not care. Well, not only do they pretend not to care, deep down they also know the truth.

In video games there is a term for when you have minimalcenergy left but give it the hail mail routine - its called RAGE mode. This is the mode all Sachinistas are in right now.

Joe Root has already proven if he plays till 40, he will help Sachinistas count to 200.

Ding dong. 🔔🔔🔔

Cook was in decline after 2014. In the last 3-4 years, he was very inconsistent. He had that one big knock in him per series but he wasn’t scoring consistently throughout the series which he used to previously.

Root right now is at the peak of his powers with a low failure rate. He rarely goes a Test or two without a 50+ score. He will certainly break the record but let’s if all the Indian black magic can stop him in his tracks.

Though it would be an incredible personal achievement for Root, and England fans would be immensely proud—we are already so proud of him anyway. Along with Stokes and Anderson, for England fans he is one of the cricketers who has lifetime credit in the bank. The priority as we see it is representing your country with distinction, conducting yourself as a role model, and above all contributing to wins for the team. Individual records are down the list.
 
if he maintains the same fitness level as Anderson did, of course he can but then again these records mean nothing unless you are delivering and providing for the team and contributing to their wins than losses

Root is a terrific batsmen. His avg is low due to him being ordinary throughout his career pre 2019.

He is now Avg 57 since 2019. He is easily the best test batsmen in the world atm and overall 2nd best of his era, 2nd only to Prime Steve Smith.

Currently he is far > even prime Kohli who was avg 55

Next goal post, I will only start taking this thread seriously when he crosses 15K runs :vk2 .

Root will get 16K this cycle. Pakistan will greatly help him achieve that dw.
 
Some historic moments today as Root toppled some giants as he steadily makes his way to topple :sachin

We are with you Rooty.
 
Sachin Tendulkar – 15,921 runs
Ricky Ponting – 13,378 runs
Joe Root – 13,290 runs

Joe Root is now in the top three run-scorers in the history of Test cricket
 
Joe Root jumps from 6th to 3rd highest test run scorer within 3 balls.

He may pass Ponting by Tea.

To all you Sachinistas - squeaky bum time for y’all!

Soon you Sachinistas will have no purpose in life, and with it the world of cricket will be abetter place.

Go change you teams, your countries, your cult - you are about to be reduced to a footnote.

Absolutely this…
 
Sachin Tendulkar must be swearing the Indian team
====
Joe Root brings up his second 💯 of the series - his 38th in Test cricket!

He now has more hundreds against India (12) than any other player, moving clear of Steve Smith 🔥
 
Most Test runs

Sachin Tendulkar - 15,921

Joe Root - 13,379

Ricky Ponting - 13,378

Jacques Kallis - 13,289

Rahul Dravid - 13,288
 
Atherton raised a point post game yesterday which Ponting agreed with today - Root has the chance to seal himself in history. Like forever. Test cricket is not going to be played as much and if he can go past Sachin, there's overwhelmingly a good chance no one will ever touch him.
 
Brilliant hundred from Joe Root. 2nd best test batter of this generation.

He wasn’t ordinary throughout his career before 2019. That is incorrect revisionism.

He just had a blip between 2017-2019, mainly after the South African series in 2017. He was a brilliant batsman between 2013 and 2016 as well, but he has reached legendary level post 2020, and specifically the Sri Lankan tour in 2020-2021.

Didn't claim he was ordinary, he did avg 47 which is not bad but not great either. His avg in every country was 40's as well excluding Aus.

He has been avg 58 for 6 years now and has dominated in every conditon. Soon aus record will be wiped clean
 
Ricky Ponting's accolades for Joe Root
====

Congratulations, Joe Root.

Magnificent. Second on the table, 120 not out.

This crowd at the ground, this very knowledgeable crowd here at Old Trafford, stands as one...

Just the one more to go now.

About 2,500 runs behind [Tendulkar], but the way that his career has gone over the last four or five years, there's absolutely no reason why not.

Ricky Ponting commentating for Sky Sports when Joe Root surpassed his 13,378 Test runs
 
🚨 1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣* it is.

Joseph. UNSTOPPABLE. Root he is!

He keeps breaking records, he keeps scoring runs 💥

Root has officially scored 403 runs this series.

97 more to reach the 500 mark and hit 13500 runs. Man is a machine
 
I think Root is one of the top 5 batters of all time.

He also has the most runs for England in ODI format.

Both an English ATG and an overall ATG.
 
Lets expose this Myth that Root doesn't belong in the realm of Ponting, Lara, Kallis, Sachin, Steve Smith etc etc

First and foremost Lets evaluate Root avg in each country he has played in so far

Australia : 35
Bangladesh : 24
England: 54
India: 45
NZ: 50
Pakistan : 47
SA: 50
Sri Lanka: 65
Uae: 57
Wi: 51

This is a terrific record, one that would make most batters blush in comparison. Infact this record is better then Ricky Ponting who has a terrible against India avg 26.

His current Avg is now 51.17 which is awfully close to Ponting as is.

Secondly Root needs 508 runs to get his avg to 40 vs Aus and 222 runs to get his avg to 40 vs Bangladesh. If he does that then not only does his avg sore past 53, he surpasses Sachin outright once he gets past his run tally.
 
If Root plays for another 3 years and doesn’t have a steep decline, he should easily surpass Tendulkar’s record. Man, I can’t wait for him to break the record just to see the tears of Indians who worship Sachin as some god. :misbah
 
Once you cross a certain age, the margin of error becomes very low. One long run of bad performances and selectors will start to give hints.

Root can break the record if he doesn't suffer another long slump in form
 
Will surpass Tendulkar in around 30 tests if he keeps going on like he is.
He is a treat to watch. Even during his low ebbs, he never failed to get starts. Sachin's batting became painful to watch post 2011 SA test series. Those last 3 years brough his batting average down by a few numbers.
 
I think he can surpass not just Tendulkar's Test runs but also Tendulkar's Test centuries.

He is 13 centuries away from going past Tendulkar's 51 Test centuries. Root currently has 39 Test centuries.

13 centuries is gonna be a difficult thing to do, but IF he carries his form for 2 more years, if he is not retiring soon, then he might match the run tally.

Dont worry, Pakistan tour is coming as well.

Currently Indian posters have now started worshipping Australia to save the streak.

It'll be an all time low when they have to rely on Pakistan to do it for them. But Pakistan won't. They'll gladly take the 3-0 defeat as long as root crosses.

Ik Pakistan will be thinking along these lines since they know trying to muster anything more then a draw in england is asking too much.

He scored 409 in this series so far and he still has 3 innings left ir possibly 2 if England dont get to bat again in this current test.

He can easily score 500 runs this series and 500 in the next and reach 14K runs in 2025. Then 2026 is a cakewalk with very easy tours coming up assuming Bangladesh play fair with pitches.
 
Root will cross 16k test runs, he will get atleast another 5 to 7 flat phatta wicket tours before he calls it a day. Record will be his, it's not a matter of if but when..

The real question is who is affected more by Root taking SRTs record, pakistanis or Indians, both going on and on about it, one Pakistani on here told me the other day as long as he beats SRTs record that's all that matters to him, shows the control SRT has over ppl.

One thing is sure SRT will forever live in Indian and Pakistani Heads till the end of time.

Nah kid, Root can score 20k test runs for all I care, he will always be below SRT. 14 test matches in Oz with zero 100s is a horrible stat for a bat that is talked about in the league of ATGs...

If he score 2 or 3 100s in the coming Aus tour, I will give him a little more credit..

You'll still change the goalpost so it wont matter. Eventually we'll reach a point where you will be stating Root is below SRT because he didnt marry an Indian.

^^ This is how ridiculous the arguments are becoming.

Root will always be below SRT saying it before he breaks the record and will say it after he does.

I feel like Root may get his 39th test century. India is done and dusted for this tour.

They are going through the motions now. It's over.
 
Root and Smith are already better than Tendulkar. Tendulkar was the king of soft Test runs.

Root and Smith made impactful runs.

The irony is that india has never actually won a test series thanks to Tendulkar. None of his innings are even rated in the top 50.

When india was poor tenda was poor with them, hence the captaincy stint where he collapsed the team into oblivion.

People keep forgetting he had dravid, ganguly, laxman and sehwag to partner up with while Steve smith has been a solo operator and root has pope, Brooks, Crawley and duckett to partner up with.

Ironically dravid has more memorable innings that people remember then tenda.

Tenda's greatest innings is zero cover drives 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
Root is working on a noble cause. He deserves the support of all fans of the support. This is a historic battle between good and evil being played out Infront of our eyes.
