Myth 1 : When ever tendulkar scores a ton india losses ? FACT:india has won 32 matches out of 45 when tendulkar has scored a ton which is a whopping 71%
Myth: 2)oh is it ? but this useless player should have scored all his 32 match winning centuries against weaker teams like bangla/kenya/zim? FACT: His tons have helped india win 9 times against australia.list is as follows - australia--9, new zealand --5, srilanks -5, kenya -4, zimbabwe-4, west indies-3, south africa-2, pakistan-1 & namibia -1
Myth 3) : All most all of his match winning centuries were scored batting second this choker cant score a run while chasing under pressure ?
Fact: Tendulkar has scored 17 tons while chasing a huge score & india has won 15 times ( unbelievable 88 %).some of his most popular innings while chasing , the one against aus in WB series downunder & the one in sharjah , the innings against pakistan in wc,
MYTH 4)May be this was long time back ,BUt in recent times whenever he has scored a ton we have lost ? FACT:India has won last 4 matches out of 5 when he has scored a century ( 80%)
Myth5) All his Man of the match awards are useless ? we have lost those matches like we did against aus recently !
FACT: Tendulkar has won 60 MOM's out of which in india has won 54 times (90%), & 8 times he got MOM award in the finals ( Hold ur breath 100 % success rate , all were won ) . All other so called indian greats combined have played close to 1000 matches & n have not won 60 mom & won

Myth6)UNFAIR CRITICISM :BUt i am sure he has not won a single match when india required ?
FACT: 1)He thrashed the pakis in WC match 98 runs , critics dont remeber , please contact sohaib akthar .
2)His two back 2 back match winning innings in Australia in WB series helped india to teach the arrogant side a lesson on their own soil
3) india had lost a couple of matches in WC-2003 , people had brought the construction of dhoni's house & even attacked dravid house even dada was not spared, ten dulkar promised india would improve in future matches & brought a series of victories for us & helped reache WC FInals ( man of the series in wc-2003 )
4)2 back 2 back centuries in match winning semi finals & finals in sharjah against australia.
5) recently concluded srilanka series finals he won it with a ton.
6)has won some matches just by his bowling , remember hero cup
Myth 7) UnFAIR CRITICISM : He is not a great player , plays for personal record , players like micheal hussey, brian lara , michael bevan etc etc are any day better than him ?
FACT: Even brian lara did not win world cup for his country. Brian lara is the only batsman who comes close to sachin. these two are class apart. Aussie players have won world cup & many matches for thier country, but the point to be noted is all 11 players in aus team is a potential match winner , thay play as a unit & put pressure on the opposition , (top batting , fielding & bowling ) thats y they win so much where as sachin

Don't take Brian Lara's name in the same breath as Sachin's.If sachin had played with the kind of players Lara did with,he would have cried to retirement.It's to Lara's credit that he kept on.

For god's sake let's not assume what Sachin could do in this team or that team. Just see him as a pure cricketer and with the records behind him he is incomparable and the most entertaining cricketer (if not sportsman in general) this land has produced. Long live sachin and may he achieve all what he desires as his desires are beyond our imaginations. My personal target for sachin: Plz Plz score 50 test centuries before you retire.

Myth8 )UNFAIR CRITICISM :If he is so great why none of his innings doesnt feature in wisden top 100 ?
FACT:Tendular has been rated the 2nd best batsman of all time in both tests & ODI's by WISDEN.Unfortunately non of his centuries are listen in the controversial wisden top 100 bowling & batting ratings, some of his best knocks have been over looked. Did u know even bowling lengends like glenn mcgrath & wasim akram dont feature in top 100 bowling performance .All three of them deserved a place in the ratings.

All bullshit. truth is always bitter dear. Have the courage to accept it. Sachin is no more a match winner. He is only streching his career, which is affecting team as a whole.

sounds like u r some fool.. Truth is bitter u say.. for sure u r not able to digest the truth.. and amazingly said "just curious"
Moderator, I mr.Varma originate from the West Indies. So I have my own story about the legend Sachin. Long kive Sachin Tendulkar and God bles this Guy and his beloved ones.
I hope if we had 2 100dulkars in our team. why cant we have 2. 1 billion and cant make 2 100dulkars. All they can make is peiople like MNS and Thakarey. And shamelessly people comment against 100dulkar without thinking whats there contributrion. Sorry Native Indians Cricket fans. Either u dont understand cricket or u are pompous fan. Shame on u. I was in Mumbai. we won test against Westindies. But people were singing "Nehra pamnil la" or "Nagma .. Nagma". I was in Birmingham India lost but fans were singing " Yes dosti hum nahi chhodenege".. Think about it the so called fans.....

BTW for young Indians... Nehra pani la was because Ashish Nehra was 12th man and Ganguly dada was captain at the time and rumuor was that Nagma is having affair with him.

ypu, there is no other good player like Sachin in Indian team. Its hard to win the cup.
"Aggression should be inside. It has to benefit you and not benefit your opponent. You can see aggression in the eyes of players,"
This is true for everyone aspiring to make a good career. This is exactly the same thing which players like Sreesantha, Harbhajan lacks. More than his game, I am a big fan of his behaviour, attitude and conduct, truly a legend.
Tendulkar had always failed at crucial times (Except Sharjah-1998, Tri bank Series-2008 & in the highest run chase in combination with Yuvraj Singh)considering his vast experience Number of matches played (450 ODI 140 odd Tests). He has failed in crucial junctures. But, the most important thing is that he has taken his place for granted since 2000 (Except for 2003 WC). In the current series also, he was not involved in any of the Indian wins. Except for his 175, his other 5 innings fetched only a meagre 100 runs at an average of 20. So, Tendulkar is not a reliable player during crunch situations and he is not a finisher which he has proved many an occasion.

Yea..??? Which country do you play cricket for? And forget international centuries, how many centuries have you got even in your local ground..? The man is a living legend.. have the humility to respect his achievements.
