Cricket Records
Two of the greatest modern cricketers, Sachin Tendulkar of India and Ricky Ponting of Australia, now have come to a stage in their career that they are miles ahead of remaining players of various countries, but mighty close to each other.With not much cricket left in both of them, the thing to watch out for is which one of these two cricketers quit with record of most century and runs in both test and one day international form of cricket. Note that Sachin Tendulkar made his test debut back in November 1989 against Pakistan at Karachi while Ricky Ponting came onto world stage first in one day internationals, on 15 February 1995, against South Africa at Wellington = almost 5 years gap. by the time Ponting burst on the scene, Tendulkar had 8 test centuries and 2 in onedayers which means in duration which both players have played together, Ponting has been more prolific than Tendulkar. Have a look at the batting averages of both legends, in both forms of the game. Note that Sachin and Ponting have quite international twenty20 matches. 
QuotesRicky Ponting :- "The number of innings of his (Tendulkar's) I have been able to sit back and watch, I think he is an amazing player. Look at his stats and records and it's quite incredible for someone to have stayed in the game for 20 years.. He has set benchmarks for guys like me to chase him and get as close as we can. If I had to last 20 years, I would probably be batting in a wheelchair!!"Update : Following career statistic are accurate as of August 2010. Sachin Tendulkar scored his 48th test at SSC in Sri Lanka after making his 46th ODI century (a double one) just a week after raising his 47th test century.. Ricky Ponting's latest century, his 29th in ODIs, came against West Indies on 14th feb. Sachin plays Australia then New Zealand in test series this year while Ricky Ponting will be in India and then Ashes 2010. This is Aussie's time to make up for lost ground to his Indian rival.
