In the betting markets, after Sachin scored his century, the odds that india will lose actually increased...Too funny but real!

Hmmmm.... So you were expecting that India will win if he scores a 40?

Didn't happen in Mohali.

Any other story?

What do you mean ? People like you are country's problem. Instead of appreciating one of the best one day inningses ever, you are pointing out that India looses when Sachin hits century? What will he do when he alone scored 175 and the rest 10 failed to score the remaining? You and your betting markets, my a**

by sughosh kanakavidu on Nov 06, 2009 01:14 PM

You are the confidence of Indian Cricket……………Sachin what knock it was , I am sure whole world would have Greatly appreciated you,

The Best thing in you don’t talk, you prove with your bat, Yet another time you simply thrashed critics with the lovely knock.

I generally don’t like to comment to these critics because whole world knows your weight age & worth

Any one who watches cricket closely or plays cricket would definitely understand the game and your contribution to the Game,
even the world greatest cricket Players have agreed your are the Genius Creature…….

Don’t worry about this tiny critics, simply ignore them and keeping them thrashing them with your performance

You know the sad thing about this silly critics-----they would be watching the game and having huge hopes as long you are Batting......once something goes wrong they come and comment...as they don’t know in games and life something might go other wise also…………..No Point in making them Understand Simply Forget it

All the Best GOD & For all the Sachin Fans I request please cheer
Sachin Sachin Sachin Sachin Sachin …………………….

yesteday's cricket match
by hardeep kashyap on Nov 06, 2009 01:00 PM  | Hide replies

Sachin bhai !! My heartiest congratulations to you on your great great innings which made me remember the days of yore when you played a major role in India's victory with your bat n bowl. I beleive this inning was the best I saw from you and one of the most heroic one by any Indian. You have done it under pressure what many youngsters have NEVER !!All that was not to be was the last hit from your smashing bat taking India all the way to home . You should have adviced Raina to take it cautiously as we reached a run a ball stage (42 runs required). I would like to see u do it in may more to follow.. Go BANG IT !!!...DON RAMESH

i think ur memory is very short, there was many heroic inngs in past also n that too by yongster,
i still rem kapil's heroic 175 n.o in adverse condition, azahar 108 in 63 ball while chasing a daunting total against N.Z. i still remember azahars n jadeja 100's in S.L while chasing a daunting total i think 303 on those days 300 plus was rare one. again kaif n yuvi heroic inngs in england chasing 326 sourav n robin singh heroic inngs in Bangladesh chasing 313 runs and some great knock by dravid

The point is about youngsters. Kapil, Azhar, Jadeja, Kaif were all seasoned players. Which is what we want more of in the team, rather than one match IPL wonders who fold quicker than an umbrella.. :)

Kapil was the Captain of the Indian side.

Now kindly don't tell me that BCCI had selected a non-seasoned player as a captain.

By that token we should make Cheteshwar Pujara the captain of Indian side. Right?.. :)

It was sheer magic but......
by Ravi Om on Nov 06, 2009 01:00 PM

Though Sachin drove the whole way but yet again failed to enter the doors. We would dare not take any credit away from the Master cos he is simply a living legend but when he bears the load it remains a mystery why others remain as mere spectators. Is it because they are spellbound or is it because.......

by Imran on Nov 06, 2009 12:53 PM  | Hide replies

None of the sub continent teams have the mental strength of the aussies that’s why they cant win consistently.
The aussies have shown why they have ruled cricket from so many years. They just do the basics right and don’t give up till the end.
The ausises didn’t do anything extraordinary when sachin was on a song they dint allow any chance to go when presented to them nor drop catches or missed run outs.
The biggest difference between average teams and gr8 ones has always been that the great teams don’t give a second chance to their opposition.

Why Hail Tendulkar
by Baikaar on Nov 06, 2009 12:53 PM  | Hide replies

Funny scribes and others are lauding Tendulkar who threw away his wicket in a bid to reach highest score in ODIs. With so many wickets in hand, it was a simple matter for Sachin to stay. The victory was there for the taking even if Indians would have scored in singles and twos. But I had the nagging feelings that these fellows will try to become heroes and millions of Indians will be left heart-broken. This what the Dhoni-led team did.

Thank you for belittling a 175. :)

Keep it up. You will rise very high in life.

As to "we had wickets in hand" "we could have taken singles and won" those are very good statements to make from a keyboard.

You don't want to laud a 175, that's your personal choice. But kindly grant others their choice to praise a superb inning. :)

Selfish innings. This has been the hallmark of Comrade Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. The 175 is 'Baikaar' if it can't bring victory to India and cheers to Indians.

You are free to think that way. On that note thanks for letting us know that Sachin failed to score 350 yesterday.

We are painfully aware of the situation.

He should definitely raise his game higher to the next level now, where instead of Team India, it will be Sachin v/s the Other Team as Gavaskar was subtly hinting at before the series.

Hopefully the day will arrive and we won't need any pretenders along with him to enable us to win matches.

I am totally with you on this front. :)

This is what the so-called 'Little Master' wants. Only he and he alone should hold all the possible records, let the Indian team should go to hell!

Just look into the game's history to learn what the great players like Don Bradman and others did in their little carriers without helmets, life-guards and tons of money.

They played out of their skin for their teams without bothering about the records.

They were not selfish, they played for fans and their teams. They were games Icons and Idol-worshiped like Tendulkars of today.

:)... When he doesn't score the full 350, you slam him that "he plays for records".
If he will make the full 350 himself (coz the others obviously can't make any runs hence your call to Sachin to start the game and finish it too) then too you will say "he plays for records"..

Good going... You have provided some nice and free entertainment to all of us.. :)

175 in ... selfish...aha. The rest 10 people cannot score the balance 175. A shame. Kudos to the man who at this age can still stand erect & score 175 against a formidable team who has beaten us time & again on our own turf.
And FYI, the slower ball did him in, he never threw his wicket.

Not formidable but determined team hungry for victory. A depleted Australian team never gave up even though the writing seemed on the wall.

But I had the nagging feelings that this man will try to get past the world record of 194 in ODIs and let the cat among the pigeons. And that is what this fellow did.

And you were of course happy to see that the other "great" players were not selfish and hence meekly returned to pavilion without crossing 10?

Great. We need more such selfless players and we will be right back to the 6th, 7th, 8th spot amongst the cricketing nations where you no doubt want us to be. :)

Mind you it was not the young Sachin who put Indian team nearly on Top but other young guns led by Dhoni, Yuvraj, Sehwag, Raina, Bhajji and others.

Even in the current series, it was not the so-called 'Master-Blaster' who brought victory in two games. In these matches Sachin's contribution was nearly zero.

If I were Tendulkar, I definitely would have played for India and not for for my own selfish ends. What is the use of all these 17,000 - 175 - 12,000 runs in tests and ODIs if the team is ends losing. Just see how many times Indian team lost even though young Tendulkar scored runs in tons!

Hero worship is the hallmark of Indians like you who love to see Icons instead of Outcomes - that is victory.

From your comment it seemed you must have played with Sir Don Bradman and know all techniques of the game.

As for the meaning of the word, well selfish means people like Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar who simply play for personal ends without bothering about the team and the country.

Mind you despite his 'Genius and Greatness it was not the young Sachin who put Indian team on Top but other young guns led by Dhoni, Yuvraj, Sehwag, Raina, Bhajji and others.

Remember this man refused to take the responsibility of the Indian captainship so as to keep his record clean.

Even in the current series, it was not the so-called 'Master-Blaster' who brought victory in two games won by India. In these matches Sachin's contribution was nearly zero.

What is simply play for personal ends without bothering about the team and the country?

People like Dhoni, who scored only 6? People like Sehwag who scored only 38? People like Yuvi, Gambhir?

Kindly define Selfish beyond Sachin. Your mind seems to be stuck on only one personality.... Lage Raho Munnabhai.... you are seeing Gandhiji everywhere... :)

Poor bowling and fielding cost us
by Raj Sesha on Nov 06, 2009 12:52 PM

We lost due to poor bowling and fielding. That will teach BCCI to dump coaches Venkatesh Prasad and Robin Singh and to go into a key series against quality opposition without specialist coaches. And to think that this is not even full-stregth first XI of Oz!!!!!!

I have observed with many Indian hard hitter when you expect them to play well and send early in teh batting Order they never succeed. The Expectation they can not handle , rather keep them in their reular position and allow them to play free without any expectation

Power Play
by sanath on Nov 06, 2009 12:49 PM  | Hide replies

I still dont understand why Dhoni chose to take the powerplay so late, when all the settled batsmen had left, and when the asking rate was up due to which the pressure was on the tailenders. If he had taken it in the 40th over when Sachin and Raina were going great guns, the asking rate would have been done and easily reachable by the tailenders as well.

Dude it was not Dhoni but Sachin who decided to take the PP so late. That is the reason Dhoni in the end said "Our calculations went wrong" and he did not praise Sachin at all.
Arrogance has a limit but Dhoni has crossed it now.
