da apostebet： 15-Jun-2001Sachin Tendulkar will amass 20,480 runs and 81 centuries in the next10 years if he maintains his present form, according to an assessmentby Wisden Cricket Monthly.In the past 27 months since February 1999, Tendulkar had piled up 1720runs in 15 Tests at a near Bradmanesque average of 71.67, it said.Should Tendulkar continue at that rate in the next decade, playing 12Tests a year and finally hang up his boots at the age of 38, he willhave amassed 20,480 and 81 centuries in 202 Tests.His average will be a cool 66.06, placing him all alone on a uniquesecond tier of champion batsmen – still behind Bradman (99.94) butdistinctly ahead of Graeme Pollock, George Headley and HerbertSutcliffe (60-odd), Wisden wrote.The jury is still out on whether he would have outbudgeoned DonBradman if he had been around in the run-thirsty 1930s, but the Indianmaestro had two sweet statistics to savour on his 28th birthday inApril, Wisden writes in a piece headlined “Tendulkar the Great (andgetting greater)”.It went on to cite that Tendulkar’s had been the 28 most prolificyears and 27 of the most prodigious months in the history of batting.Pointing out that on his birthday, Tendulkar’s record in limited oversInternationals stood at 10,179 runs and 28 hundreds – twice as good asany one else at the same age, the magazine says that in Tests, hisomnipotence is equally jaw-dropping. He was 1676 runs clear of theprevious record held by Javed Miandad and his 25 Test centuries dwarfthe 15 made at the same age by Bradman and Neil Harvey, his nearestrivals.Wisden writes that average-wise Tendulkar still trails the Don whomade 3849 runs at 98.69 by his 28th birthday. But even that gap wasclosing.
