its a post where we are discussing Indian Cricket - how dumb can you ever be??
I don't understand the constant hatred towards Tendulkar. Even when he hits centuries and makes runs for the benefit of the team and helps team win, we have posters here writing all kinds of non sense against him.
It has become a dirty habit to find chinks in Sachin's armour because otherwise they are hard to find in the master batsman. He has done almost everything he could for the Indian team and is still going strong. A perfect team man, amazing run getter, can play attacking as well as anchor type inning, can adjust to ODI and tests appropriately, supports his captains, helps the youngsters, advises the bowlers and so on...but he still gets brickbats in these blogs...it is like someone taking all that he does as a given and still finding minor faults with him..
It is like in ancient mythology expecting Vishnu or Brahma or Shiva to do things to a perfection and if they deviate slightly in their human avtars, they are derided. Same happened to Lord Rama too, he did almost everything perfectly still he was put at fault in the end by the general public of Ayodhya...from ancient times Indian public is like this only.

Only one category of people hate Sachin. They are those who regret Dravid not being called the greatest because of Sachin. Dravid is the one who deprived Sachin of his double hundred by declaring. Now his crony Karthik has deprived Sachin of a century. One wonders how much can they hate him?

exactly....supporters of dravid and ganguly can't handle the truth that sachin is eons ahead of them...they can't tolerate the fact that sachin is described as the best batsman from india...in their narrow minds they can't tolerate that an indian has become so big in the world.

Forrest Gump, if you dont eat shit come out with your true name. You have already displayed your hatred towards all South Indians. At least I dont hide the fact that I am a South Indian but a truth loving Indian at heart. You hide behind a masquerade and trying to lump all North Indians when in reality many Marathis, esp. the MNS types harass and beat true North indians from UP Bihar and the rest. And remember MNS won a handsome number of seats in Maharashtra which shows they enjoy popular support. Take off your cover and let us talk you coward...

Hold on I am supporter of Ganguly's elegance as a leader, Dravid's strength as a wall and Tendulkar's class as a grandmaster. Its not correct that all Ganguly and Dravid supporters hate Tendulkar. Infact its silly to disintegrate team India and treat them as individuals. Tajmahal can not visualized without any of its 4 pillars similar is team India.

right. 11 members make a team. India cant play only with Sachin Tendulkar that too in cricket. may be if sachin can play tennis, he can represent india alone and win medals. what say ???

Please count the billions that Sachin has made and then count the effect of the sachin-haters as you have described. Look at the mindless Indian media hype around Sachin calling him the greatest batsman which evoked strong resentment across the world. Even among thoughtful and true Indian cricket fans, the opinion is very clear that Sachin is one of the good batsmen produced but DEFINITELY not the greatest. Yes, he has amassed records and those recors have in turn helped him amass billions. The constant media hype which is done selfishly have created a needless aura around him which has resulted in brainwashing many philistine people into comparing him with Shiva and Rama. This is nothing but a sacrilege on those venerable deities....

The only reason i can think of is because you fans go overboard with hyperlatives. If you had left sachin to be the good player he is, it would have been fine. But no, you just wrap him with non existent hyperlatives. And then they go overboard in the other direction.

Forrest Gump - if you are a true North Indian, I would like to see if you can take a Railaway Entrance Exam in Mumbai. You will be beaten to pulp by Maharastra Navnirman Samithi Marathi manoos. They equally love sachin. If you are a Marathi, which I suspect you are, i am amused by your hatred towards all South indians and would love to see what the North Indians who you are driving out think of you. Maharashtra fanatics like you who are constantly harassing and beating up innocent Bihari and UP taximen and poor laborers have no right to call yourself a North Indian!! And your cricket knowledge sucks..,,., you are a toddler in cricketing knowledge and i can understand yuor chagrin about my English since you wouldnt comprehend most of my vocabulary any ways...

This is the best time to bring back Rahul into the team. Given his absolutely fantastic form and perfect technique in the worst of conditions he would lend us rock like solidity against a reasonably varied bowling attack. He performed magnificently in the last test series scoring two centuries on the trot and almost scoring the third one. He rose to the occasion when he was called upon for the SA one day tour. But still he is always the ignored person vis-a-vis the media, commentator and selector darling Sachin. Dravid has saved India much more and has played more winning knocks esp in overseas tours and holds a fabulous record but still the media hype is focused only on one individual. This is a travesty and this kind of favoritism can kill the motivation of many a young cricketer in this country.

Hi Mohandas,
I admire your support for South Indians. Even I am from Karnataka. But I don't think so you should be so supportive of players like Dravid and dislike Sachin. You have got to admit that Sachin is way more talented than Dravid.. nay Sachin is gifted. And Idon't understand wats the problem if he earns billions.. he has just utilised his talents. Be honest. In these days where people don't mind making billions by dubious ways.. whats the problem if Sachin makes the right ways. Admire the fact that while players like Lara couldn't handle success.. Sachin was steady and grounded. He played non stop cricket from 1989 to 1999. I think in the 90s whenever Sachin scored.. India would reach a score of 250 and our bowlers like Kumble, Srinath and Prasad would be good enough to defend it. It is only after 2000 that players like Sehwag, Yuvraj started overshadowing him. It is fair yaar. he is no longer the same Tendulkar he used to me. We all be not as efficient in our 30s as we were in the 20s. Coming back to Dravid, he has a solid technique and very very hardworking. In many tests especially overseas, he took us out of difficult situations. But the bitter fact is that in onedays he is not able to dissect the fielders, place through the gaps even after reaching his 50. He hits the ball too hard that it goes straight to the fielders. Same with Laxman. They are not good enough for onedayers. Finally only technique doesn't matter what matters is performance.
Re: Dravid is ignored purely because of politics
by Forrest Gump on Dec 22, 2009 11:01 PM
Dude Indian team has become the strongest batting lineup in ODIs in the last 2 years and this coincided with Dravid and Ganguly being kicked out from the team...but you narrow minded kannadigas/South Indians still support only state A vs state B players instead of supporting the whole Indian team wherever they come from.
Re: Re: Dravid is ignored purely because of politics
by gladson dalmeida on Dec 23, 2009 12:51 AM
You better keep your name Forest Jump. Show me the facts to show that Indian middle order has become the strongest in last two years...All these younger lot play only in Indian pitches including Dhoni. Everyone has seen him how well they played away from India in the las two years. Except Gambhir, Sehwag and Yuvi, no one else is settled. Raina's batting depends more on his temperament than talent. Kohli despite innumerable chances has done precious little. If the middle order was that strong, why Dravid was called? Selectors wanted to shield youngsters from getting some chin music? On Indian pitches they are superb but the moment they go out of India their feet remain glued to the crease and they hardly spend time at the crease. Get your cricketing knowledge accurate before you are dumped into Forest Mr Gump.

Stupid they won the T20 world cup in South Africa. I am also south indian but i believe Rahul Dravid ia a wall, he is brilliant in Test Matches but unfit in present One dayers and t20 matches. Remember India loss the 2nd oneday even after scoring 301 runs, which some days before was a match winning total.

dravid is hiding his true self behind that innocent face... he is bookies/bcci liasion in the team... this shameless guy refused to give up cataincy after dismal failure in wc 2007... he is dispile of chappal brothers whom did their best to destroy indian cricket by divide and rule... if there ever was a back stabber in indian team then dravid will be on the top... after ganguly kept him in 1-dayers by making him wk... first thing this ungrateful dravid did after becoming captain was to try and kick ganguly out of the team... dravid is totally shameless ungrateful back stabber in indian team regardless of runs he scored...
Can't understand why an in-form Dravid has been ignored now. With Dhoni & Yuvi out for the next match Dravid's experience at 3 would have been very very handy, with Gambhir completely out of touch in the odi series. Dravid is a steady bat and can play a long innings in any form of cricket. Rohit Sharma has been given too many chances of late and needs to really show some consistent performances in domestic cricket, 1 big score is not enough.

Guess you were too fast and came out of womb within 6 months. That is why you call natural as slow! Dravid despite playing at No 3 has an average of 40 with a strike rate of 75 over 300 innings and 10k runs. You better watch only T20. With your view Greg Chapel, Sobers, Desmond Haynes etc who all have a strike rate of 70 in one-dayers are worthless players! First know cricket and then start writing something. Or else you will be dumped Mr Gump
It seems that many people are upset about the fact that Kathick denied a century to sachin which obviously does’nt make any differnce to him. But I feel sachin actually denied a well deserved Half century to karthick which would have made a hell a lot of difference to a good raw talented person like him. Karthick went to 25 very quickly and we still needed more than 40 runs to win. He looked good to score another 25 after that very good six. Sachin should have helped a new player like Karthick to score his Half century and should have been supportive till the very end. . Coming in with 1 proper batsman left (suresh Raina, not sure, how good he is as a finisher of the game) and scoring a crucial half century would have boosted his confidence and would have increased our bench strngth and who knows, Karthick could still be a better asset than Kohli, Sharma or others. Instead sachin concentrated to score his hundred and that too he has completely forgotten the remaining power play with the sole aim in concentrating to score the century. I am no sachin hater but a leader like sachin should create more leaders than followers.

by Naalayak Chhokra on Dec 22, 2009 10:28 PM
Karthik doesnt deserve a place.. his keeping is pathetic. He missed important runouts and catches.. Just by his batting, he cant be in. Because there are so many other good batters waiting in the wings..

Re: Karthick could have made a half century
by Mohandas Satyam on Dec 22, 2009 10:30 PM
I completely agree, but it will be too much to expect from a record obsesses cricketer who has made billions in advertising money banking on records. When it comes to scoring a century or winning a match for India, every one knows which will Sachin prefer. He is a good batsman who has been glorified beyond imagination and of course consistently boosted by media and commentators for their own survival and benefit. Sachin could never become a good captain because of his obsession with records. A good captain has to be a selfless leader who puts team interests first and no one can consciously aver that Sachin belongs to this category.
Re: Karthick could have made a half century
by vinay on Dec 23, 2009 02:30 AM
agree. karthik deserved a fifty than sachin's 100. karthik is youngster n needs motivation of scoring good runs to improve his confidence. whereas sachin 100 is a routine now n not that imp for his motivation.
Re: Karthick could have made a half century
by bijesh roul on Dec 23, 2009 01:25 AM
This kartik has really denied sachin chance to collect another century to his bag of records. If not today then on another day tendulkar will get one, but this clever karik has exposed his selfishness. Even how can this small kartik ever be compared with a man like tendulkar. He has to take another birth. Even a century is a bigger milestone than a half century. He intentionally hit a six and many fours just to deny tendulkar a chance to hit another century. After all he is tendulkar. This world doesn't remember names like kartik, many such came and go, but it always remember names like tendulkar who is the greatest one, even bradman says so.
Re: Karthick could have made a half century
by Sudarshan Pathak on Dec 22, 2009 10:27 PM
You mean well, but remember, every ball comes with the possibility of a wicket. And when it's batting to win a match, people should look at the bigger picture. WINNING. Imagine if Dinesh Karthick had gotten out in the frenzy with other following in quick succession. Then who would get the blame for NOT TAKING STRIKE?
Re: Karthick could have made a half century
by Varun on Dec 23, 2009 09:27 AM

Guys just stop this stupid conversation and go to your work, and do some creative work or it seems you people have no work at all.
It is very sad to know that Yuvraj will not be in the last two one-days against Sri Lanka because he is a good hitter and a very good fielder.Virat Kohli who is in the place of Yuvraj is also playing well.He is a good batsmen.I hope by the grace of god India will win the fourth one-day and win the series against Sri lanka.My advise is also please give chance to the new comers Tyagi and Ojha just like you gave a chance to Kohli.
Re: Yuvraj Singh's absence in last two one-days
by Ramdas Nayak on Dec 22, 2009 10:04 PM
Oza has already been tried in 20-20 match and had failed to impress. It is better to try a new young spinner Ashwin who was selected but did not get a chance to play in 20Twenty. Kohli's technique may succeed in Indian slow pitches but abroad even though he scored two fifties in shorter version he can not be a Test prospect like Badrinath or Pujara. Selectors should also try Manish Pandey, Abhinav Mukund and Shikar Dhavan one by one as they are in top form in domestic round up. Ofcourse in form Rohit Sharma is also a strong contender!
