I think sachin himself lost a greatest honour of all time sports in india, if he had finished it. From his early days to till here, i have observed that: 1 he cannot finish the match till end. 2.he cannot overcome the pressure, otherwise his record would have 3 times more than his present. 3.he dont know hw to make use of youngsters in the middle, but he himself looks like being in full pressure.
Except this he is a wonderful cricketer, once he is in ground there will be millions of expections from all over d world, so we shud nt blame him.

Please go thru Viru, Yuvi, Kaif, Bhajji n too many youngsters who got good guidelines from sachin n got victories based on his comments. Go thru youngsters experience aslo n u ;ll realize things abt u r comments. Very imp is u can not expect a victory from a single person.. if so then why u need team of 11...
What can you say about someone who shows the same hunger for runs, the same brilliance in strokeplay and the same passion that brought him into limelight as a teenager 20 years ago. Sachin's innings of 175 warmed the cockles of even the most hard-hearted Indian's heart. We were on road to an astounding win most of the way till we tripped up in the 48th over. A few more runs from our top batsmen would have won us this match with an over to spare. Except for Sehwag and Raina, no one really give Sachin any support. Sehwag played in the only way he can - go hammer and tongs from the very first ball. I think he should be given the freedom to bat the way he chooses as there is no better sight on the cricket field than Sehwag belting bowlers around giving India the perfect start such a chase required. Hope we have the privilege to see more of the same from Sachin in the future.
Congrats,Dear Sachin..for playing one of your best ODI innings ever!! only you could have done it and we wished you should have taken us home and not left it for somebody else..and as usual we lost when your wicket was lost..what a pity..my sincere opinion and wish is that,it is now time that u please 'retire' from intl. cricket as u have done more than enough for Indian cricket and, the current crop of new-gen Indian cricketers(who call themselves as 'professionals') don't deserve to play with such a legend like u..Only U r the true patriot whereas the others just play for name,fame & money!!..Salaam Sachin..Jai Ho Sachin!!!!
With his ability to bat, experience and mile stones achieved he failed in one critical aspect of handling the situation. He should have guided well the other side batsman. In this pitch when only meagre score was required to win and absolute flat pitch to bat you had no. of balls too why such a rush running dangerously. His loosing wicket was irresponsible shot by not reading the ball and that too that kind of moment. Appreciate his individual record as Indian but it is much more important ot win the game too for country. He was the highest experienced batsman at the crease who only could handle the situation but sorry to say he failed.

Sachin has given a lots of win also. Remember the World Cup held in South Africa, it was Sachin alone who led Team India to World Cup Final. Than Sharjah Win over Australia, last year Australlia series are some great examples.
Re: SACHIN IS GREAT AS INDIVIDUAL BATSMAN BUT NOT A LEADER

That's true he failed, but i saw often people called him god of cricket. but as far as winning is concern a team can win only when most of the player contribute. Look at 80's invincible west indians or 90's Aussies. they all performed and their teams won. and now a day India also winning not because of individual but Dhoni, youvi, viru sachin all clicks.
Agreed. It was one of the great knocks in the ODI history by Sachin, arguably one of the best batsmen in the contemporary cricket.
He played a great innings, but for what? He had the opportunity to finish, but not the determination.
At the start of the 48th over, India needed run a ball to coast to victory, with sachin batting. He had no need to play that unwanted shot in that situation because:
1. He was playing well at 175 and obviously tiring. He should not have played that shot. 2.Ravinder jadeja was playing well (here and there). So he should have played for singles 3. His mere presence in the middle would have made Aussies to panic, but he made the Indian team to panic 4. There were 2 more power play overs in hand and the shot selection was wrong at that time 5. Last but not least, he had the opportunity to take the team beyond the finish line and silence his critics.
He is a great batsmen and holds almost all the records in his name. But it was his effort that brought the team close to win. had he won the match for India (like a Miandad in Sharjah), it would have changed the mindset of the young Indian players. Chance missed.
There is a difference between great and GREATEST players. It is like music. Great music is heard, GREATEST music is RELISHED.
Had he won the match for India, he would have become great and praised by all not by many. There is a huge difference in this.

you all know cricket a team game not a individual game........
just check AUS score card 4-5 batsmen contributed in score of 350. now just take a look at indian score card only raina got half century nd sehwag got 38....... all the players like dhoni, sehwag, raina, ghambir, yuvraj were got out by playing irresponsible shots ....... and you all blaming Sachin
i bet if sachin got out early no one can take india near 300 nor dhoni, sehwag or yuvraj.......

On the account of the match being lost, all the mistakes count, even Tendulkar's. But if he is GREATEST, he should have taken us to the finish line. Batting during the difficult time is great, but composing oneself in easy time and crossing the line is GREATEST
Re: Re: ONE NEEDS COURAGE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO FINISH THINGS
by Imran on Nov 06, 2009 11:27 AM
Jadeja should be kicked out bcoz he doesn’t even know the basics of running between wickets. He has not learnt from his mistake as he had got out in the same fashion in the previous match. Irfan pathan is a much better all rounder than jadeja and should be persisted with. Also Nehras fielding is a big let down.
Re: Re: ONE NEEDS COURAGE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO FINISH THINGS
by naveen dhanerwal on Nov 06, 2009 11:38 AM
It was a ball to hit. If you do remember he had got may of his runs with this shot. Sho what's worng if he got out then. Only 19 were required then from 17 balls and that's a difficult task. Any other team woul dhave won that match easily. Match was going easily to home side then why the h**l raina played that shot. When Sehwag gets out everyone says he couldn't got enough strike from tendulker, yesterday Sachin also couldn't got enough strike in last overs. He was a set players and needed to get more strike. Still if he got out..last three batsmen shoul dhave won this match. look at Australian, African or new Zealander side how they have won the same matches. Their lower order batsmen show enough courage and responsibility towards end of the inning.But our batsmen are just good for nothing. Their running between the wickets are as good (or even below) as galli cricket. their fielding is pathetic. And they are no close to pace bowlers, like Mac Grath, Donald, pollock, Akram, Yunis, Lee and others. When SA chased down the 434 runs target, it's their lower order who supported Boucher enough. When New Zeaand chased down two consicutive targets over 330 against aussies, it's their lower order who saved the match for them. It's not Sachin's fault if they (last three batsmen) coudn't make 19 runs.
Re: Re: Re: ONE NEEDS COURAGE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO FINISH THINGS
by Murali on Nov 06, 2009 01:32 PM
I agree that all the batsmen made mistakes. So did Sachin. The question doesn't arise at this point. it arises when Sachin is claimed to be GREATEST. If he is greatest, he needs to be different and not like others. Hope you all agree.
Re: ONE NEEDS COURAGE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO FINISH THINGS
by polumahanti praveen on Nov 06, 2009 11:25 AM
yes i agree it, ST played a lifetime innings. But singles are needed at that moment. It will be better if he had played according to situation or think for a moment whats to be done at that time. Becuase thats made the turning of the match.

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.
Despite 175 Sachin got out in the most irresponsible manner, as he was the set batsman like many times before .... that's why Sachin's innings remain his personal property, doesnot help India in many occassions, a match winning 70-80 is much better than a match loosing 175 against the weakest Aussie attack ever!
Re: A great personal innings for a loosing cause
by Karthick on Nov 06, 2009 02:22 PM
think if he could have 70 or 80 india might loose by more than 100 run which could be more shameful rather better you think in this manner........

i remember from your comment the match.. hope u guys also remember that... against Aussies some 13 yrs back when Sachin got out at 86 and then Srinath and Kumble's brilliance reached team India to marvellous victory. Thanks for the post buddy !!!!
Re: A great personal innings for a loosing cause
by Bamaprasad Bag on Nov 06, 2009 11:34 AM
Mr. Vijayan, If sachin would have got out at 110-120 and India would have lost by 50-60 runs, then it would have been probably fine for guys like you. The match was not between Sachin vs Aus, it was essentially betweem India vs, Aus. What the hell other guys have done? after all it is a game of 11.. 18 of 18 balls with 3 wkts in hand was the score where sachin left. Was not that easy target to score for three guys who are playing for India !!The ball which saching got out was to be hit (not a great ball, any body could have tried to hit that as it was going down the leg), only fact is that sachin miss-timed it. after that also, that match was there to win for India.... If he plays also, these is lies problem for you guys, If he does not then also..

by ranjith menon on Nov 06, 2009 11:19 AM
this is ur point of view because cr iket is 50 50 about luck and faith. if he want personal he only cross 100 but he did 170 this call acutall team sprit only blame to other they can't support sachin
Re: A great personal innings for a loosing cause
by Ramesh Kumar on Nov 06, 2009 11:10 AM
Fantastic comment. Very very true. Sachin only plays for his personal performance. Whenever he has scored huge runs India has lost that match.This can be verified from the records.

u fool get ur stats strait... out of 45 centuries that sachin has scored... india has won 34 matches... calculate the percentage... n i havent even given u the stats abt his 91 half centuries.....

what about other fools , were they hatching eggs...expecting a one man show, his contribution was massive...why couldn't other dumbheads make those 3 runs, captain made 4 runs ..great..no one speaks of that..only throw slanders on master blaster... when even bret lee fights till the end for his team to win...

Mr.Ramesh,
Plz go to Cricinfo and very stats...I think u hv very less knowledge about cricket and unfit to watch cricket.All Huge scores scored by sachin are match winning ones. Out of 45 Hundreds inida won 32 times u idiot. Why are u blaming sachin.What others doing. In yesterday's match Australia beat Tendulkar not Inida u stupid. What other are doing? What happened in Srilanka recently. He scored 138 in the finals . India Won. He scored 163 in New land tour and India won. VB Series finals in Aus He scored 117 India won. U idiot stupid go and watch stats properly

I am also disappointed by his shot, but vijay here you should remember that he made runs with excellent SR which is very imp. Now what the other players did. cricket is a team game in cricket on very very few instances when player of any country single handedly won match for their team. and sachin also did this for India on few occasion, you forgot 2 innings in Sharjah. and if you want i have more records of sachin when he won matches for India.

Hello len, Aren'y uou disappointed by the shots Gambhir, Viru, Yuvi and Raina played? Even Dhoni too played that reckless shot where a partenership was mush needed?
Modi have you seen yesterday's match, look at people how they connect themselves when their coutry play they pray for their country and their player, you unncessary increasing amount of cricket and reducing interest of people. people likes to see their country playing, so pls stop your league which is extra dose having side effects.

Let the young cricketers learn from him what is International and Goli cricket(read domestic). Let Veeru, Yuvraj,Dhoni fall on a que and take the same lesson from cricket god.
