Dont blame Sachin!!!!!

When many people say how many of Sachin's hundreds

have come for a winning

cause,Here is analysis of each of those centuries he

scored when INDIA lost

and reason why it went in vain.

Out of the 41 hundreds, 11 hundreds have gone in

vain.

1. 137 off 137 balls Vs SriLanka at Delhi in 1996

World Cup .

India scored 271/3 in 50 overs. The only other 50

score was from Azhar. SL

made 272 in 48.4 overs. Manoj Prabhakar had

4-0-47-0. He also opened in the

innings with Sachin and scored 7 of 36 balls.

2. 100 of 111 Balls Vs Pak in Singapore- Apr 96 .

India 226 all out in 47.1 overs, When Sachin was out

score was 186/4. Pak

had a reduced target of 187 from 33 overs.

3. 110 of 138 Balls vs Sri Lanka In Colombo - Aug

96.

Again India 226 for 5 in 50 overs, Only other 50

score from Azhar (58 of 99

balls).Sachin has also bowled 6-0-29-1, the second

most economical bowler

and the only wicket taker (SL were 230/1 in 44.2) of

the match next to

Srinath. 7 bowlers were used by Azhar.

4. 143 of 131 Balls Vs Aus at Sharjah, Apr 1998.

This was chasing under lights. The qualifying match

before the final. The

whole world knows about this match. Still one

interesting point, when Sachin

was out India were 242 at 5 at 43 overs. Target was

276 in 46. Still India

finished at 250/5 scoring just 8 of the next 3

overs. Great performance by

Laxman and Kanithkar indeed.

5. 101 of 140 Balls against SL at Sharjah in Oct

2000.

Indian score was 224/8 in 50 overs. (No other 50

score). SL got 225/5 in

43.5, Sachin also bowled 5-0-22-0, better economy

rate than everyone except

Srinath.

6. 146 of 153 Balls against Zimbabwe at Jodhpur -

December 2000

India made 283 / 8 in 50 overs. Sachin was the last

man to be dismissed,

score was 235/8 at 46.3 overs when he was out.

Agarkar and Zaheer Khan

propelled India to 283 in the last 3.3 overs. When

Sachin has scored 146 of

235 in 46.3 overs, you can guess what the other 8

great batsmen were doing

against the World class Zimbabwe attack. Second

Highest scorer was Zaheer

Khan with 32.

Zim got 284/9 in 49.5 overs. Agarkar bowled the last

over. Sachin also got

6-0-35-1

7. 101 of 129 Balls Vs SA at Johannesburg - Oct 2001

India got 279/5 in 50, Ganguly made 127 of 126

balls. When Ganguly got out,

the score was 193-1 in 35.2 overs. Sachin was the

last man to get out at

263. SA got 280 in 48.4 overs. Sachin bowled

9-0-51-0, second best in

economy rate next only to Agarkar (10-0-45-1)

8. 141 of 135 balls Vs Pak at Rawalpindi, March 2004

.

India were chasing 329 and were 317 all out in 48.4

overs, 8 balls to spare.

No other batsman made even a 50 (when chasing 300 )

and when Sachin was out,

India were 245-4 in 38.4 overs. They needed 85 from

68 balls with 6 wickets

in hand.

9. 123 of 130 Balls vs Pak at Ahmedabad, April 2005.

India made 315/6 in 48 overs (48 over match), again

no other 50 score.

Second highest was Dhoni 47 of 64 balls, (third

highest was extras - 39).

Pak made 319 in 48 overs. The three quicks (Balaji,

Nehra and Khan went for

188 runs from 26 overs between them taking only 2

wickets). Sachin bowled

6-0-36-1. No Harbhajan and no Kumble.

10. 100 of 113 Balls Vs Pak at Peshawar, Feb-2006.

India were 328 all out in 49.4 overs. Pathan and

Dhoni got 60 each. When

Sachin was out when India were 305-5 in 45 overs.

Managed only 23 in the

last 5 overs.Pak scored 311/7 in 47 overs and won by

D/L method. Could have

been anybody's game. Sachin did not bowl.

11. 141* of 148 balls vs WI at Malaysia.

India made 309 /5 in 50 overs. Sachin was not out.

Pathan was the only other

50 scorer. WI made 141/2 in 20 overs and won by D/L

method. Again could have been anybody's game.

In the other 31 instances India has won 30 times and

once there was no result .

Now, please think again when you say sachin's 100s

were in the losing cause and that he is not a team player.

It is a fact that for the entire 90's India played International

cricket with 1 PLAYER and 10 JOKERS.

This is to all those people who still doubt in

great man's commitment,

think his centuries are in losing cause.

Here no body talked about his commitment and what was his contribution for the Team's winning in last 2 years. See Tendulkar is super star and don't show few innings and say he is doing good. The problem is where he is at when we compare with Gilchrist, Ponting, Hayden or Jayasuria. These guys are in the same or more age group .Can anyone give a guarantee that he would play like above players in the forth coming series or next year? I think his body got tired due to injuries and you can't see the Tendulkar class again in the future

Agree u can't see his class as but still sachin is star.

if you say gilli or hayden made huge runs in their batting part, the aussie bowlers did their work, if Gilchrist made 149, Mc gra made 5 wickets and the fielding was awesome

you cannot have a building standing on one pillar. or

sachin has to score 200 and make indian total 500 so that bowlers like you or me can even bowl even to australian team.

Sachinis now 33 yearls old and still has 5 more years in his account buddy.

Fine one bad day india lost against bangaladesh. we were knocked out.

people were furious., we even thought the ashes of indian cricket too.

Across the country including you and me, shouted screamed lost interest in worldcup and had couple of beers.

But frankly tell me. will you not stop watching sachin and saurav or sewah going towards the pitch for the opening batting.
No dude we cannot stop from watching cricket.
its in ur blood.
atleast u would open the crickinfo.com or listen to FM abt the score.

Again the game starts and the expectations.

Don't forget Sachin played cricket for 16 years now but other players(which u mentioned) played not for even 10 years except Jayasuriya. Jayasuriya was also out of form just 6 months before & people were even thinking about him to retire.

Amazing analysis. Even those people who doubt sachin commitment are aware that there is no one better than him around.
