I am happy that all Indians celebrated the wining of world cup. But we do not care for our soldiers who win the battle very day at he hostile boarders of this country. government gives cores of rupees to Cricketers. But our farmers who created green revolution is in pathetic condition . Jay Javan & Jay kisan
KIRSTEN YOU TRY TO COACH AND WIN MATCHES FOR INDIA INSTEAD OF CEMENTING YOUR PLACE AS THE INDIAN COACH. BY PRAISING TENDULKAR YOU ARE MAKING YOURSELF A FOOL. TENDULKAR IS PLAYING LIKE A CLOWN FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS AND THE ONLY THING HE DOES IS CREATING RECORDS WHICH ARE OF NO USE TO INDIA. HE DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO PLAYERS LIKE VIV RICHARDS.

Your view shows who is the clown. Kirsten is not working to cement his place. He is ready to sign off after the world cup and it is our team and board keen on retaining him. How can you say Tendulkar is playing like a clown? Do you know cricket and have read some statistics? It is so pathetic to hear such comments from persons who do not know what is cricket.
why include bradman when comparing the avg, stats of the current players....cricket has changed and evolved greatly past bradman or whatever ...avoid such stupid comparisons
I think Tendulkar is a curse to indian cricket, because whenever he scores India lose the match. He truely lacks leadership skills, he can only score whenever there is no pressure on him and he can't inspire other player to play good, ust plays for his own record and is clone of Gavaskar.

if you dont understand cricket and looks from your comment that you probably haven't played cricket at any level of competency... you shouldn't be making such remarks...
seeing your remarks, i remember this saying... its better to keep your mouth shut (in this case your remarks on this blog) and claim ignorance, than to open it and prove that you are an idiot to the whole world...

Tendulkar is like a wicket-keeper. Nobody remembers a great catch or save. But everyone remembers the odd fumble. Similarly, all of Tendulkar's great innings that brought success to the country go unnoticed due to the failure of the team when he was the sole batsman performing.

It is a pity that people abuse Tendulkar for Team India's failure. Cricket is a team game, indivitual can shine in a winning match. But ultimately it is the collective effort...
It is ridiculous to say Tendulkar doesn't shine in a pressure game... Yesterday we had pressure not to lose. He played, but no one gave him a good stand. It shows the rest of the team fail to sustain the momentum when Sachin makes a big run, not curse... In any game, no team can keep on winning the match. The truth is, very few people can play in SA, AUs kind of pitches. We must accept it and equip ourselves rather humiliating great cricketers like Sachin or Dravid.
We can criticize players if they fail to perform, not when they shine and still we lose the game.
Criticizm is important for a player to realize his form. So please keep criticizing, but sensibly.........

He scores century even when the pitch will support bowling. and rest of the batsman fails miserably on those surface..and thats the reason for the failure
On a flat track India winds and every boday can score runs there and even harbajan can be a match winner with his batting skill in those situation.
Did you see how he played in the first innings against SA ..all the batsman was struggling. but he was playing fluently untill he got out lbw on a unplayable delivery.
Don't go behind stat..just watch how he plays. if you don't understand cricket don't make such nasty comment on a talented guy who devoted life for cricket and entertain millions of cricket fan across the world..
Note: This is not for Sachin haters.No logic can staisy them. But if you are a non-partial guy wondering y sachin did that..here we go
Whats the only possible way India could have saved the match? By scoring atleast 150 runs on fifth day and hoping for rain. That is possible only with something like laxman-ishant partnership. 50 from sreesanth or unadkat and 100-120 more from sachin. He gave them strike, if they score a 50 India have a chance if not no chance.As simple as that. Its humanly not possible to score 150 himself, and manufacturing a single on every 5,6th ball.
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, coaches,umpires and 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 is the reason why.
1. Bajrang Lal Thakral ....he had to share a room wd 20 other people 2 practise 4 asian games !!!!!
2. Preeja Sreedharan----had to walk 10 kms to go to his school !!!!
IF THE INDIAN MEDIA GIVES MORE ATTENTION AND GOVT. PROVIDES BETTER FACILITIES TO OTHER SPORTS, THEN YOU WILL FIND MANY MANY SACHIN OF OTHER SPORTS IN INDIA .......

Agree with you... but it has nothing to do with the topic at hand or this article. This article is on Sachin & applauding his accomplishment.
