While the accolades pooring in for SRT, a hardcore Indian fan would have loved SRT to play an Innings similar to that VVS played in SL after we were 8 wickets down. We could have atleast saved ourselves from the Innings defeat. Could SRT have protected Sreeshanth & Unadkat ever more, particularly after Bajji fell so cheaply? Of the 54 balls bowled after Bajji's dismissal, the tailenders faced 28 balls. Little too much for them considering the superiority of SA bowling, isn't it?. SRT at times is so confident that he even start having confident in his partners as well. But ultimately his team mates put him down and he end up getting all the bricks from the frustrated fans. Remember the fabulous Chennai Innnngs against PAK which India pathetically after SRT went down? There is no point in trusting the rest of the squad, SRT. You finish it yourselves. Atleast you will save yourself from the die hard Indian fans. All the best in the coming test matches. I am confident that with the 2nd innings show, we should atleast draw the other too, if not winning them.
who is going to remember what all matches india won. But the effort that Tendulkar put will stay remain. As an indian i am extreamly delighted in Tendulker's land mark.dont blame Tendulkar. we are not going to win any matches because we dont have any capable bowlers to take 20 wickets in this present squad.
Ask a random passer by, what would you ideally want from Team India? A non fanatic might say World cup . A fanatic might say No1 Test status and world cup. A girl newbie fanatic might say T20 world cup.
And if you ask them why? Answer: It will make Indians proud. A non-fanatic might not even know for how many years we have a world cup.All they know is its a big cup and it will make us proud.
Why are these important anyways? We gave a world cup champion for every 4 years. T20 chapmions for every 2 years. Constant doubts over our No1 status and might not hold onto it for more than 2 years.
20 years down the lane, whats so great about winning 2 world cups (1983,2011) out of 10 world cups so far and almost most of the countries will have the similar record.Whats so great about winning 2011 world cup? Indian are champions from 2011-2015. And that too if we loose 5-2 to Aus or SA, we cant even call them champions for 4 years.

Notable achievements that come to my mind till now 1983 world cup, Titan cup,Hero cup, 96 SF,Sharjah cup, Natwest trophy, 2003 Finals,T20 World cup,CB Series,No1 Test status. Except for No1 status, most countries have similar achievements. But then we have 'SACHIN'.The best bastman ever(Only Bradman can contest). Most of his records will stay alive forever(If you are cricket fanatic, then u will know that most of them are impossible to break).A poll in australia twice this decade said Sachin is the current best player.Ponting was no-where near in those polls. Current and ex-crickets, commenattors, everyone alround the world praise him as the best. That makes me an Indian proud.He is like Dhanychand of Cricket. He is like a Schumacher ,a Pele, a federer, a Tiger woods. 50 years from now, Indian cricket might become like our Hockey. Usa, Canada,Ireland,Afghanisthan might be top 4 teams.Your Grand children might not follow cricket, but they sure will be surprised and happy to hear that the best player, holder or most runs,centuries is an INDIAN. He is a phenomenon that happens once in a life time. I cherish a century from Sachin more than an Indian victory. This insight is just for Non-fanatics to weigh Team India achievments against Sachin's. Pakis with Indian names here and other morons with disgruntled lives who have to vent their frustration on someone, can keep trashin Sachin. Infact, its no fun without u guys.Sometimes ur comments make me laugh. Keep coming guys.
All u guys criticising Sachin shud take up another hobby, seriously guys u talk wid out sense jus takin cheap shots at the legend... U'l are shcoked tat sachin exposed tail enders today, wat bout wen laxman had exposed ishant sharma too against australia, was tat great... luckily ishant got runs on tat day... y not criticise other players... Do u'l kno wat d team mangaement must have decided tat compelled sachin do take such a stand... May d team management told him to wind up soon instaed of strolling around... wat national pride are u nuts talkin about, now tat India is d No.1 team u'l are makin excuses and still criticisng Indian team... watever be the case if u'l love Indian team and cricket where's r happiness wen Indian team became no.1 team... U'l are bunch off low lives who get noticed by criticisng Sachina and greats like him... See u managed to drag my attention too... u skunk from d jnk...
sachin is a product of indian media and corporates....its all economics...every one praises him...he makes records...foolish indian people keep watching cricket...everone makes money....
Who cares about Sachin's century or 50th Century. We wanted the team to win. It looks like people forgot the fact that Indial lost the match. So much hype about this guys century and no one cares about the loss. I still admire Ricky ponting and he is the greatest ever because he wins match for them.
