Even though he got a record.. I don't think that he is doing best behind the stump..Especially the catches he can easily take has been given away to the first slip.. the person fielding at the first slip is often surprised and become dump footed by the Dhoni's attitude towards the ball coming to the slip cordon..

Fool, Dravid is not a Maharashtrian
Give me one Answer, When was the last time Sachin scored runs when India needed 280 or more runs in One day Cricket or Stayed on the crease in the 4th Innings of a Test match to save it.
Think about it u Regional Crap minded fellow
Agarkar never won a match for India in last so many years, do u remember any batting display from him in recent years or wickets without giving too many runs.

arey bhai.. team should be based on perfomance and not bcoz someone is from certain region of the chairman of BCCI. We all love tendulkar for what he is today. Sachin is no doubt that India have ever given to the international cricket. no one can even imagine to rewrite his records.. but u put him in list with agarkar. Agarkar was the fastest to pick 50 wickets in ODI but the truth is he is not bowling to his potential and he is really bad at scoring runs recently. so HE IS UNDER CRITICISM BECAUSE OF HIS FORM AND NOT BCOZ HE IS A MAHARASTRIAN.

What is this obsession about Sachin having to scotre when India winning? When he scores why does not India win? It is silly to pick on Sachin whatever he does.

you are right Ramaswamy. This is the same people who made SACHIN GOD when he started playing for TEAM INDIA in 1989 and now same SACHIN has become pain for them!

Mr Ramaswamy
It is not a obsession about finding mistakes in Sachin, But it was reply to the guy who wrote this message where he is tryin to prove that only Maharashtrians are good players, not others.
So first bring some understanding in you that how to interpret the message.
2) This is the high time to realize that Sachin is just a good cricketer, not a great Cricketer. Otherwise he would have performed like Ponting, Steve Waugh or Brian Lara in pressure situations.
Those who made Sachin God are bigger fools then you.
My questions remains unanswered u crappy region based Cricket lover

people ask, why does sachin not play when india requires the most. is sachin alone required to ensure india's victory ? what are other 10 players there for ? in his 42 centuries and 80 half centuries and 150 wickets he has won so many matches single handedly for india. can you name any other player on whom indian team relied so much for so long ? he is performing consistently since 17 years, but a team effort is required to win matches.

U started that Maharashtrians are better players, Now u sick minded changing lines, why u bringing other team members in this conversation now.
Show me the record of current Maharashtrian players who are winning matches for India, Sachin use to be good, but he is just ok type from so many years
The centuries you talking about are only in 1st Innings, not when India is chasing huge scores
U crazy fellow, u r like ur name who got no Bheja in it

i dont deny that there might be lobbying going on behind the scenes, but that was also the case when dalmiya & co were in charge and also when dungarpur & co were in charge. lobbying always happened. kapil dev and his cronies like chetan sharma ,manoj prabhakar , kirti azad , maninder singh , raman lamba used to hog around with no purpose. have you forgotten that?
maharashtrian players like gambhir , powar etc have played well so they can justify their place in the side. if they fail they should be dropped.

As far as i can think Agarkar should not be in your WORLD CLASS CRICKETER from MAHARASTRA?
Also, Half of the players from your list belong to MUMBAI team so please don't confuse and MUMBAITES might claim for this!
RE:RE:JEALOUSY ABOUT MAHARASHTRIANS IN TEAM
by BhejaFry on Sep 03, 2007 05:39 PM
MUMBAI is a part of Maharashtra , so there is no difference whether they play for mumbai team or maharashtra team, the question is about jealousy about maharashtrian players.

FORGET ABT MAHARASHTRA, MUMBAI, DELHI,...PLAY AS INDIA..WHEN WE START THINKING ABOUT WE ARE FOR INDIA...THEN EVERYTHING WILL FALL IN ITS PLACE...HIGHER A GOOD SELECTION TEAM PROFESSSIONAL..AND THEY SHOULD TRAVEL ACROSS THE COUNTRY(MIN.

Its high time now i think we should get back strike bowlers. Where is Irfan Pathan..?Where is Balaji..?Where is Shreeshant..??Theye have been best in pressure situations. I think selectros should think about it now.
RE:Indian performance
by Saccha Hindustani on Sep 03, 2007 07:29 PM
irfan bowls at 60-70 miles which is just faster then KUMBLE! BALAJI is just like PRASAD good for nothing! Sreesanth deserves to be in TEAM INDIA he has definate potential but nobody knows why he has not been picked and AGARKAR is termed as best bowler in INDIA!
This is time that BCCI should learn from the england series. it does not make any sense that we replace elder players just because of their age. Young players need to play better then sachin,sourav or rahul to establish themselves. but upto the date the scenario is such that if sachin and sourav get runs in the opening the team reaches a good score, at least 8 out of 10 times. When sachin came to the team, he played better than the elders to shift himself as a fulltime player.
RE:Seniors
by chandra singh on Sep 03, 2007 07:21 PM
VERY TRUE AND THE COMMENTS SHOULD BE LIKE THIS, ITS MESSAGE FOR THOSE WHO MAKE UNFAIR COMMENTS AND REPLIES
To become world beater in international cricket we should break "ZONAL and RELIGIOUS" mindset!
We as a TEAM INDIA fan support entire team rather than supporting particular member!
We should stop bashing SACHIN, SOURAV, RAHUL! We all know that there is no unity in supporters we rather bring in ZONAL feeling into it!
Adding to this, BCCI, Captain, and senior members of TEAM INDIA should make sure that TEAM is selected based on recent performance and not on the past or historical performance!

u r absolutely correct. i wish to point out that to recuperate loss from world cup (money/advt), they hv to build the reputation by accepting bookies bet. If a spirited TEAM INDIA, may have won the second test, but the bookes played the game well and won! The same situation is in the ongoing ONE DAY SERIES!!!
I gather one Mr Kabir Khan coached Indian women hockey players and they defeated 6times champion Austalia. Why do not they try Kabir. Afterall both are stick and ball games
