You are correct. If I am asked to pick up the best innings in the recently concluded ODI series in Australia, I will say that it is Dhoni's 50 without a single boundary in that and India won that match. That is a classic effort from a batsman like Dhoni who prefers fours and sixes to singles and twos in his normal style.
Martin Crowe once said. Sachin has invented some new shots. For example, the straight batted paddle, which goes behind the keeper. He is a very quick learner and adapts his game to the situation. His killer instincts and attitude of taking revenge with particular bowlers adds spice to his batting. A very committed fielder who gives his best while fielding even after a long innings while batting. Sachin is simply the greatest cricketer on earth. The consistency at which he plays, his simplicity proves that he is one of the best.Sachin is honest, committed, sincere and a thorough gentleman.Sachin Tendulkar being a busy batsman in the world has bought about a new dimension to Indian cricket.One has to agree to the fact that he is the best Indian living irrespective of the wealth and fame he possesses. When we talk of Sachin we are talking about the greatest son of mother India.Sachin as a person appears to be cool, calm and always smiling cheerfully.Extraordinary cricketer. Great brain as a cricket player. Tackles the situation very smartly. Great man to have in the team particularly when it comes to the crunch situation.
In terms of technique and compactness, Tendulkar is the best. Technically he stands out as the best because of his ability to increase the pace at will. Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don. A complete batsman. He's the best in the business. Sachin is an attacker.He has an uncanny ability to come out on top under different circumstances and under different conditions, whether it is Test cricket or one-day internationals.He is a perfectly balanced batsman and knows perfectly well when to attack and when to play defensive cricket. He has developed the ability to treat bowlers all over the world with contempt and can destroy any attack with utmost ease.He's a phenomenon.He has defined cricket in his fabulous, impeccable manner.The crowd always expects him to succeed and it is too much pressure on him.Technically, you can't fault Sachin. Seam or spin, fast or slow ? nothing is a problem. See the stillness of his head, his straight back-lift, the ease with which he played his shots and their wide range. The fact of the matter is that India still need Sachin in a big way. All this talk of the youngsters taking over is very foolish. The reason why Tendulkar is so important for the team is because of his ability to inspire others and make them perform under pressure.Cricketers like Sachin come once in a lifetime and I am privileged he is playing in my time.

Sachin is a match winner in his own right. It is not just because of his cricketing brilliance. Its because of his sheer presence, which motivates the players and also sends shock waves into the opposition. I still remember Shane Warne in Channel 9 recollecting his duels with Sachin. Nothing can unsettle this genius. He goes on and says for a player like Sachin "we need to work out many strategies to get him out". This is where Sachin becomes a match-winner. He always keeps the opposition guessing. Kapil Dev, Gavaskar, Vengsarkar, Azhar, Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly are match-winners, but Sachin is greater than them because whether he scores or not, he keeps the opposition on their toes. The very fear of the rival bowlers makes Sachin a match-winner. Tendulkar holds the record for winning the maximum `Man of the Match' awards in one-day internationals. India has won almost 80 per cent of the one-dayers in which Sachin has scored a century. Sachin is an emperor in world cricket. Tendulkar has shone as the one man gladiator for India. SOMEONE once said "an expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing". The same applies to those experts who have conferred upon themselves the right to come hard upon someone who I would term a national asset. Tendulkar outweighs statistics and numbers. That is reflected in his altruistic and dedicated batting which thoroughly impresses even my granny. Tendulkar is a match-winner, although in a te

Did we really won T20 Cup or it was a fluke ? The win against Pak in ODI series had nothing to do with MSD's captaincy. The win of ODI series in Australia was another fluke. Why credit goes to MSDhoni then ?

Nahi Dave no. 2: Jitana to use kehte hai jaise Aussies ne CB series cup jeeta hai. Wah bhai wah. Aur Perth test match ki to baat hi kuch aur thi. Indian batsmen ko chin music yaad aa gayaa aur Shaun Tait world ka best bowler ban gayaa. Ishant aur Praveen Kumaar ki itni dhulaai hui itni dhulaai hui ki unko sapne mein bhi Ricky Ponting yaad aata rahegaa. World's best batsman Ricky Ponting, usko out karnaa mushkil hi nahin naamumkin hai. Jitnaa to isse kehte hai bhai.
when a batsman tells according to situation he adapts the batting style that is because his confident level has come down, so dhoni cannot be last long. take tendulkar when he was young he smashed the ball everywhere in the ground whatever the situation. now he(tend) says according to the situation he plays his strokes or defence that means in this case though his confidence might have little bit down his experience and technique have been holding up him. but for dhoni no technique and also in early stages in his career if he says according to situation he may(will) not last long. it may be little bitter for dhoni fans but it is true. wait and see.

yeah... we all could see hw sick he was feeling when he was batting... no stroke play no techniq.. he was just plaing straight to the fielder at covers evrytime.. i want him to back to his fundamentals and then he can groom other players...
