Have you met Sachin Tendulkar?

Re: SACHINS SHARJAJ GREATNESS: by Against Pseudos on Nov 16, 2009 04:03 AM Rahul The Bajaj: Good. If Australia are a depleted bowling attack, that too is Sachin's problem :)    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Re: Re: This is how much India has been dependent on SAch by Gaurav Gaddhyan on Nov 15, 2009 12:39 AM what dude... tom is sunday... so no prob for me... raina is the most overhyped player with no real contribution to speak of... yes india has more matchwinners now, but too much inconsistency is there in middle order... sehwag need to get out of 20-30 run zone etc... btw...it seems u r in middle east.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: This is how much India has been dependent on SAchin by joshua james on Nov 15, 2009 12:23 AM Sachin should have played Tennis..atleast then 'singlehandedly' he could have added pride to India by winning s grandslam    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Will the god of cricket ever score a triple century? by rahul bajaaj on Nov 15, 2009 12:10 AM Mr.Rahul, Sachin need not score a triple century. It is not a yardstick for one greatness. But, scoring a crucial 50 against a great team in an bouncy track and making India win is much more important than these 300's and 17,000's. Let tendulkar win matches for India consistently at least from now.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Will the god of cricket ever score a triple century? by Rahul Ponting on Nov 15, 2009 12:13 AM You want India to win more matches? force Sachin to retire. With him in the team India is very unlikely to win the 2011WC.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Will the god of cricket ever score a triple century? by joshua james on Nov 15, 2009 12:27 AM Please please....don ask him to retire...let him play till 60...other wise India will become like Zimbabwae...    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Will the god of cricket ever score a triple centu by Rahul Ponting on Nov 15, 2009 12:31 AM you could be right. How the hell will Dravid, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Gauti, Sehwag score runs if Sachin is not around.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: GOD......OH GOD by Against Pseudos on Nov 16, 2009 04:05 AM Rahul The Bajaj: Thanks for finally awakening to the reality that bowlers win matches. :) Like Sachin did on a few occasions when the captains had enough confidence in his bowling. :) Any other "pearl of wisdom" for the day? :)    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: TO SACHUUS by Rahul Ponting on Nov 14, 2009 11:51 PM good job, let's make them work hard finding all these facts.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: TO SACHUUS by Against Pseudos on Nov 16, 2009 04:07 AM Rahul The Bajaj: :) Good job. It is 83.33% considering the weightage of the opposition strength, making allowances for the bowlers from either side and adjusting for the dew factor in favour of both the batting and the fielding sides. For other details kindly visit cricinfo. It is a great site, I can assure you. :)    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: TO SACHUUS by Gaurav Gaddhyan on Nov 14, 2009 11:51 PM just look at stats and you yourself will find all the answers... do not want to point obvious again and again    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: TO SACHUUS by Rahul Ponting on Nov 14, 2009 11:58 PM there are no such facts that suggest that Sachin is the best in the world. Make Ponting, Kallis, Hussey, Dravid, G Smith, etc. play very bad so you can claim Sachin is the best in world.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: TO SACHUUS by Against Pseudos on Nov 16, 2009 04:09 AM Rahul Dravid Prabhakar Singh Ponting: Sachin is NOT the best in the world. Agreed. I will be greatly interested in knowing who is the best in the world though. :)    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: TO SACHUUS by rahul bajaaj on Nov 15, 2009 12:07 AM If Ponting, Kallis, Hussey, Smith fail, either they will drop themselves out otherwise they will be dropped. That is not SACHUU'S LAND.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: TO SACHUUS by Siddharth Jagadeesan on Nov 15, 2009 07:10 AM ponting plays with clarke, hussey and good bowling attack, same applies to kallis. But just think of Tendulkar, he is got inconsistent performers in his side. With this pls do not expect him to be a match winner. He can contribute and take you close for a win or can win some matches not all. I see lot of people asking for Sachin performace and winning rate. Pls try to find out India's winning rate and performance without his contribution, i can tell you its very pathetic(Except the T20 world cup we won).    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Sir Don Bradman the best greatest ever by Gaurav Gaddhyan on Nov 14, 2009 11:50 PM Don said sachin plays like him Lara said i wished i was as consistent as sachin Shane Warne had nightmares of sachin hitting him for sixes    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Sir Don Bradman the best greatest ever by Rahul Ponting on Nov 15, 2009 12:01 AM Shane Warne's nightmare of Sachin was about Sharjah time. Since then Sachin's become more or less Warney's bunny. go check the stats. If Bradman was to play 104 test matches he'd have 48 centuries including 4 triple centuries, 18 double centuries and his average would be 99.94    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Sir Don Bradman is the greatest ever by Rahul Ponting on Nov 14, 2009 11:35 PM 400 is impossible for the little player. He first need to score a 250 which he couldn't do in the last 20 years.
