If you closely look at sports history, it always presents great sports persons with an important trophy, so that they will be always remembered for that. Eg: Diego Maradona (even with an average team, he has a WC) Kapil Dev (1983 WC), Imran Khan (1992 WC), Allan Border (1987 WC), Peter Schmeichel (Denmark, Euro 92), Jurgen Klinsmann, Paolo Rossi, Michel Platini, Sunil Gavaskar...etc.. These people were the best during their time.. So they have some trophy to remember. Likewise, I feel this World Cup will be for Tendulkar. History wont allow him to go without a major trophy.

even if that happens, sachin will be blamed for trying to lose matches, since he is unnecessarily blocking a spot according to some great crtics.
Agreed, he is the best batsman of our era and the highest run scorer. But the hype and praise showered on a human being should not cross the limit. Comparing some to GOD is ridiculous. India lost pathetically in the match. No media wants to put that in the headlines.. Only 50th century in the headlines. When south Indian movie lovers praise ChiranJeevi or RajniKanth, the whole India criticizes and mocks them. See what the whole India is doing...

we want world cup not personal records. McGrath & Ricky ponting played 4 world cup in that Australia won 3 times & 1 time they remained runner up.Tendulkar played 5 world cup in which one time India became runner up. if Ricky ponting is not playing well mean all Australian media"ll start criticising him but Tendulkar"ll score century & Indian media"ll start praising him, no matter we win or loss.

India lost becaus eof Toss, it was hard luck. Otherwise you must have the dead pitch from Day 2 onwards. We were playing under tremendous pressur ein 2nd innings. I don't see any fault from Indian Batting.
Congrats sachin, Rahul for your achievements. There is nothing to blame sachin for the hypes created by the media. Our question is , is this hype required when India has faced a humiliating defeat ? Well, I was too thinkin d same way. But first thing we need to accept is the achievement by one of our bro which no one else has ever made in the history of Cricket. This is a team game and contribution from everyone is required. If a match is lost in which sachin has scored a century, is this his mistake or the rest of the players who cudnt make it out till the end? Lets stop commenting about Sachin n his achievements. He deserves it inspite of India's loss in the match. If this century puts our stomach burning, lets say as 111 not out ;) , a 111 runs knocked to save India's fortune :). Lets hope for the next match and mean while lets not forget to praise our bro.. :)

Very doubtful. He would not get to play in Indian sub continent that much and that will cut the runs and centuries.

U rite cos then he'll have to face all the slow balls from India and the likes. Whereas, he is facing the pace fury of Aus and SA not to forget Pak..
guys lets face it sachin is the best only his presence in the team motivates the other players even today we are dependent on sachin to win the game for us what the hell other 10 players are doing in the team nobody is talking about them

@ sayeed, what do you want, sachin should not score in the interst of India to win. Barring world cup final when sachin has not delivered, u just tell me. i can give countless examples when he has done single handedly, the only prob is that its the morons like u and other individuals who do not perform with sachin and India looses. just ask me the same kind of examples if u really hv any kind of cricket knowledge, and for my information i would like to know ur favrt batsmn??????????

Why are you complaining about Tedulkar who scored century and not others who failed including the great Dravid and Laxman. Is it his mistake to score run if india loses match ?

You bloody idiot, He hit six in your ass to reach 95. Pls clean your ass, watch cricket and then comment
This " milestone" will be tested within 10/15 Days when Laureus Sports Award Nominees will be anounced. This will be Real test for Cricket in General and Sachin in particular. Let us see how does world sporting community from 150 countries respond to this " Towering Achievement" and reward it by Award or nomination !!
So yet again we have a meaningless record, and India gets thrashed.
multitudes of fantards are celebrate away for weeks
Calls for Bharat Ratna... gold medal. everyone cares abt indiv records. Not that the '#1 team' is pathetic and we have a guy that never steps up when needed.

I have been seeing you actively critisizing Sachin..well that's your opinion ....just curious to know who's your favourite Indian cricketer

So mr. tooshik, what do you want, sachin should not score in the interst of India to win.

Single handed part is a nice joke. Sharjah is all i can remember. Like it or not, the guy has a point. You guys are too person centric. Sachin alone cant do jack. Nor can anybody else.
Re: GOD OF CRICKET
by Indian on Dec 20, 2010 01:24 PM
GOD of cricket??? Last inning he was not able to score even 50 when its was mostly required from country perspective... If he saves India from defeat then I would agree with you if not then take your word back and stop blabbering ......
Re: Re: GOD OF CRICKET
by Oye Kake on Dec 20, 2010 08:09 PM
What rubbish; Last innings of life Bradman was not even able to score 4 runs he got out for a duck; Does that means he is not a legend;
Re: Re: GOD OF CRICKET

Is Sachin is the only player to save a match or what. What are other players role then? One cannot save a match without a support. He is not out in this inning. If some body would have bated with him for anoother 40 overs the match could easily be drawned
