Sachin!!!
by Sandy on Jan 12, 2006 12:16 PM

Our obsession with Sachin has crossed all boundaries...

Don't you think records are meant to be broken? The fact that Sachin has scored 35 centuries is great...

Big deal if someone eclipses that - no way does that reduce Sachin's stature as a batsman...

On second thoughts, it definitely looks like Ponting, Lara and Hayden will all eclipse him...

Hope Rediff becomes mature enough in its ideas
by Rao on Jan 12, 2006 10:28 AM

Looks like Rediff guys are becoming sick or hiring sick guys with their terrible ideas. I guess there is no other country on the face of the earth who can degrade their country better than India with these so called journalists behind the shield of journalism.(mind you these guys hardly give anything for this country except for this kind of crap)

I hope and wish tomorrow these guys would not come up with a topic questioning the motherland and the integrity of a person like Baghat Singh or the intelligence of a person like Swami Vivekanada.

India has so many heros who can inspire and give birth to many more, let us take a look at them and appreciate them.

And comming to SACHIN, it is not even possible for anyone just to think and with stand the pressure of a BILLION which he carries every time he takes field and had been doing it for the past 16 years ---- forget about centuries and runs.

Sachin's record
by Satya Gollamudi on Jan 12, 2006 08:40 AM

I don't think Sachin's record will be eclipsed soon. Sachin was in and out of the game for the past 2 years due to injuries. Inspite of his injuries his last 5 centuries before the 35th century are 193,176,241 not out, 194 not out and 248 not out and all of them are brilliant knocks.He can still play for more than 3 years and he will establish records which will be unbeatable in near future.
If there is anybody who can surpass Tendulkar's record it will be Rahul Dravid.

sachin centuries
by nandu on Jan 12, 2006 07:17 AM

No one can even near the numer of centuries made by Sachin. He is the greatest so far and will remain greatest forever. Ponting, Hayden and hussey are small kids before Sachins talent and hard work in cricket. Its ludicrous to compare them with sachin. Only Lara can match Sachin but definitely as good as sachin. Umpires are helping australians a lot to win the matches rather than their own performances on the field.

47 against 66
by g.p.singh on Jan 12, 2006 04:21 AM

i have gone through many responses and the overall feeling is of disappointment about sachin's performance in last five years.but it is also a fact that sachin has played only 47 test matches as against 65 or 66 of ricky ponting and haydens respectively.so his playing ratio was almost same to his centuries against their records and we shdln't forget about his injuries.i m quite sure that once again it will be proved that he is best.

Lets Discuss after Pakistan tour is over
by javed on Jan 12, 2006 02:10 AM

Hi All,
i think it would be too early to judge who wud break sachin's record of more number of century..I say we wait till the pak tour is finished becuase no of the number of matches he played during the last 5 year and the burden of getting 35 hundreds running at the back of his mind. Now that he has got that mark he will be more relaxed and try to build on that lead.
If he is able to add 2 more centuries during this tour of pakistan than i doubt any one would be able to reach close to him.
Thanks
Javed

who cares about Sachin\\\'s record? He is still the greatest....
by Hiren on Jan 11, 2006 11:20 PM

why is media making an issue about whether Sachin\\\'s record will be broken or not. We all know that Sachin has become more mortal than before. That is obvious with any player. The same will happen soon with Ponting or any other player..Hayden is even dropped from one-dayers, where Lara is the only real quality batsman who is chasing Sachin, even he is not consistant.... Sachin may not live as the top centurian in test cricket ever. But greatness of the man is not just based on his number of hundreds, its the manner in which he has won games single handedly for India over a long long time. It is only in last 5 years when India found other real match winners like Sehwag, Laxman and of course Dravid...And those geeks who prefer statistics,,, Here is a good one....Who is the better of Lara, Ponting, Hayden and Sachin....the one who scores more test hundreds or the one who has more than 75 international hundreds (tests + onedayers) in cricket????? There is your answer. He is the greatest till date and there is no comparison.

Sachin is genius
by Lakshmi Narayanan on Jan 11, 2006 11:07 PM

Hi All,
Records will one day or other day will be broken.If Sachin would have thought playing individual game he should have got by this time 50 centuries atleast. Consider this case when Hayden got his 380 plus he got support from other end. If Sachin tries to score, tell me who is there to give him a support. Captain is unlucky for him. People says Sachin didn't play Winning game. How can he play without a support.And also in last 5 years he didn't play well because for last 2 years he was injured. Nobody should forget all world cup matches. He scored more than others. Ponting played only one game that too against us. Dont compare Sachin with anybody he is maestro, genius etc. Lord Don Bradman praised Sachin a lot.
Thanks
Lakshmi

ricky
by sundar on Jan 11, 2006 09:09 PM

Ricky ponting will not eclipse sachin's record.He struggles against high quality bowling like we saw in the ASHES and also in previous tours to INDIA.
Shewag has a chance in ten years.

sachin record
by ravishankar k on Jan 11, 2006 07:58 PM

world knows sachin is a true legend, we cannot compare to any one. but we can accept the ponting succesful in the recent matches. Bcci should get more number of test matches rather than a onee day matches and moreover we also agree sachin had a problem in a tennis elbow. now he is fully fit and also he wil take charge in the upcoming series and getting more number of centuries. hope for the best sachin is the best.we can pray for a god 2006 year should be a golden year to sachin
