people—who expect or rather demand from Sachin to win every match and WC individually in a team sport, where collective efforts from all members is important—would have similar high expectation from themselves, Indian would have been a world leader by now.
Sachin is great because he never played for record but played for the country. He got chance to lead the side twice but declined, nobody else would done this, but he did it since he loved the country and playing cricket for the country is his first preference.
I am bit disturbed since media many times critisised him which affected his performance otherwise he would have now completed more than 50000 runes ODI/Tests.
I remember one Incidence when opposite team needed 7-8 runs to win the match in last over and nobody was ready to bowl the last over except Sachin and he did it and won the match for India.

so u r saying, he is not his best. 50000 runs is what u said he wud have made and c where he is now.
It is futile to say who is the grteatest unless the intention is to isult someone. While I admire Sachin's talent and contribution, I am unable to belittle Sunil Gavaskar by callig Sachin the greatest ever. Then there were others too, like Vijay Hazare, Vijay Maerchant, Rahul Dravid. They all have their respective strengths and weaknesses just as Sachin has own. One of the greatest- yes, the greatest-no.
Players like sachin comes once in lifetime. We all cricket lovers are previleged to live in this age to see this great man play. Let us not indulge in silly arguments about him, just see and enjoy this genious at work!!

We have seen the greats like Gilchrist, Viv richards, Lara, Hayden, Saeed Anwar, Andrew Symonds, Ricky Ponting, Justin Langer, and numerous others. Sachin has no class compared with them.

Raman I think u also know how great sachin is, but something is forcing you to say all this. I pity u!!
Pratibha Patil, Advani, Manmohan Singh, Budadheb Bhattacharya, SM Krishna, SACHIN TENDULKAR must retire immediately and give their places to deserving youngsters.

So you have lots of free time to criticize others. What's your achievement apart from a bad critic?
guys this same vengsarkar has said in saamana outsiders shud not be allowed in mumbai.they r burden on mumbai and polititian r responsible for this.shame this has played for india.and he is talking about patriots like sachin.no wonder he has played alot failure like ajit agarkar in team india.pawarji pl.dont give him any indian post.and i would appeal all non marathi companies dont sponsor his elf acadamy.
Best Batsman in the World can come only from India, because only an Indian can be burdened with a billion expectations. Ponting may be scoring more runs than Sachin, but he cannot be s good, because population of Australia is significantly lower than that of India.

Ravi,
As you may also know, validity of any statement depends on the intellectual level of the person making that statement, in addition to how much knowledge, information and that person has. Do no except sensible comments from people like Ravi.
Now its enough..... Please Mr Tendulakar, you are very good player and please stop playing international cricket. At learn from great players like Gilli, McGrath, Warne, Kapil, GAvaskar, saeed anwar, imran, wasim, lara, googch hayden.....

And you please stop commenting at this site. Learn from all the great commentors at this site who had written Sachin off whenever he doesn't happen to score.

Hehehe And why. If any of the member of current team can score even today more than him? Just being 36 years, he should stop playing circket. It is not justified. Bring another one like him, he will quit without any arguments. Anyhow, he is the expert of this art and knows well when to quit.
