True in the ODIs against AUS he has hit more sixers than others, but claiming that he has always been a sixer hitter is rather too much. His Batting Records indicate that bout of the 61 innings he has playyed - Tests, ODI, T20 and IPL - he has hit only 68 Sixes.

I do not want to underachieve his performance, but as cricket lover what I saw in 80's 90's little bit till mid millennium, i think class of bowling has gone down and pitch also whole over the world has become like subcontinent pitch aaapart from few. I think in todays game one has to just bowl and batsman has to hit because batsman know he will recive very few quick short of lenth ball or yorker like younis and akram or spin like even I say zimbabewan paul staung of 90's when zimbawe has good bowling attack having strak friend anf leggie paul staung.
class of sachin can never be come any near close be it virat or any batsman.
as cricket watcher when ambrose walsh or macgrath or bond pollock donald and many comes to bowl to our batsman we were afraid what they will do, our hart beat was increased . i still rember johanberg and caoetown pitch of 90's which has bounce swing and skit can any one imaging what was perth until mid 90's frankly saying nowdays i have no fear of watching bowler.
