if yusup patan is allrounder then sachin, shewag, yuvraj, raina, r sharma, are all alrounders... zaheer khan was pathetic but still p kumar is out in 5th odi.... so every body think on it.

What is there to think ? It is obvious. BTW , What Irfan (another Pathan) is doing in the team. Better he goes to TV shows like Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena.

man with a sr of over 85 in 400 odd games coupled with an avg of 44, does it get any better? He has been playing from 20 yrs and played against bowlers of the caliber of akram, waqar, mcgrath, gillespi, ambrose, walsh, donald, pollock and many other great bowlers. Surely scoring runs against them at that rate must be tougher than scoring against the likes of thushara and kulasekara. I wonder what game you guys watch or have been watching?

and pls don't come up with crap like, oh he played only against Zim and kenya. You can't play 400 odd games against them. His record against the best team in the world proves why he is considered a legend. The likes of sehwag and yuvraj are sitting ducks when they play against Australia. They might succeed now becoz australia has a popgun attack but to score runs against the intimidating team of the late 90's and this decade was surely a dream for many batsmen and very few have made that dream into a reality and sachi is one among them.

dude, looks as if u suffer from the malady known as sachin mania. so what if he has been playing for 20 years? just because he was good a long time back doesnt mean he will be good forever.
let me place an open bet with you. if in the next 2 years, leading upto the world cup, let us analyze his performances. Let us analyze his way of playing, manner in which he gets out and usefulness to the team. If you can convince me that he is a matchwinner and that the team cannot do without him, I will accept defeat gracefully. And this is a fair bet. I am willing to gracefully consider all aspects, and am willing to graciously accept sachin's greatness, if that is indeed the case.

ok dude i'an on for your bet. Sachin will atleast be in the top10 scorers of odi cricket in the next two years provided he is fit. He was the highest scorer in 2007. And for your kind information, no one in the team is indespensable and this team can even win without sehwag( eg CB series), gambhir, dhoni, yuvraj. So just because sachin is not in the team and india are winning does'nt mean that he is not required. Even zaheer did'nt play the last match and india won without him, does that mean we throw zaheer out of the team.

by usefulness to the team i meant his contribution in victories. and what do u mean, provided he is fit? if he isnt fit, he has no place i the team.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: sachin
by fink fanther on Feb 08, 2009 11:03 AM
and i am not only talking about runs scored here. runs scored will not be the only parameterby which you judge his contribution.
hope u agree. because it works both ways. a slow, painstaking 100 by sachin might not be a matchwinning contribution. on the other hand, a 30 or 40 if played for the team's cause is worth a lot.

sachin cant hide behind injury for each and every bad performance. he has done it before....he has a poor series, and immediately declares himself injured so that people can say he failed because of injury. not going to work. if he is fit, he is in the team if he isnt, he is out.
and the case of getting injured in the middle of a series will be judged based in credibility and genuine reasons.

CB Serries In AUS sachin was the match winner. He is match winner. and he will be match winner for ever. he know what to do.
Re: Re: Re: Re: sachin
by fink fanther on Feb 08, 2009 09:42 AM
i am talking only about ODIs here. because i am of the opinion that sachin doesnt deserve a place in the ODI side. I am not getting into test matches here.

Atalji It’s you who were instrumental in making Dr. Abdul J. Kalam as the President who has shown the youth of India to dream Developed India. It’s you who dare to test "Atomic explosion" that help to explore the India as a powerful Nation. It’s you who developed the quality Roads which are nerves of India. It’s you who have planned for River joining project which is one of the essential requirement of developed India. It’s you who initiated Peace process with Pakistan and who showed the courrage for not handshaking the Mushrraf who was not to the caliber of becoming friend It’s you who make the public to respect politicians. The list is ....unlimited... You are the true Patriot of India. I salute you and pray the god for your early recovery.

life will be mechanical and boring without cricket..learn to appreciate and not just criticize.if people in india are passionate about cricket you can't take it away from them!can you?and if you think cricket is wastage of time and it is not physically demanding then may be you have never played cricket in your whole life!!!!and changing the system and world by ridiculing cricket..that is the most common piece of $#it people do to relieve their own frustrations!;)

It is not right to insult other people's opinions. Whatever you said may have been right, but you should have worded it slightly differently.
Re: cricket game is wastage of time and people precious time

Every sport has its own charm. It is unfair for you to insult any sport, and if your opinion persists,then you should try to place your opinions more diplomatically. As far the 'bucks' is concerned. It is good to see so much money pumped into cricket, in a way it raises the country's profile and it also helps generate more financial benefits in the cricketing sector. Your implied idea of socialism has been tried, and largely failed (I do agree with lots of socialist notions of course, such as public service institutions, and social security systems, but not all). My point of view is that every sector and every person should be more involved (in a fair manner) in the current capitalist system, and that way there will be a socialist outcome of fair opportunities and fair results. Of course, it won't have equality and a balance, but it will most certainly give people a decent livelihood, with scope for education, justice, and a decent living standard with growing opportunities to the pursuit of happiness. Anyways, for now enjoy the cricket, and congratulations for Team INDIA and good luck for the games and series ahead! JAI HIND!! VANDE MATARAM!!
india will win 5-0, then will beat new zealand at their home 4-1 or 3-2.and aus will be at no 5 or 6 in next 6 months.where ever india go from now on india will win (with south africa 50 50 contest).good luck india

no matter sachin is great, but what matters is what is his contribution now? If he is replaced with a guy in form what best chances for india to perform better.
