Indian blame MSD for captan plus keeper plus he make 1500 runs in last 24 match as out of form which decent for no-7 batsman plus keeper. Poting is captan n imp no-3 batsman made 1650 runs in last 24 match as out of form hehehe so he get result out of other talent. 24 match is more than 2 yr of cric.
ToI is condusting a poll to vote 4 the World's Greatest Sports Personality ....the list includes 12 names...
The biggest joke is the list misses the names as Sergei BUbka,Wayne Gretzki,Yelena Isniabayeva, Lin Dan , Micheal Phelps.. .. The bigger joke is between Sachin and Dhyan Chand, there are 81% votes. This shows how ridiculous this poll is. Only 19% amongst Federer, Pele, Ali, Carl Lewis and the rest of the non-Indian nominees. LOL. This is a poll with a lot of credibility.
One more thing, you can vote as many times as possible...so schin fans will be doing this till ToI closes this polling...

A few sportspersons like Federer, Johnson, Pele etc. are included in the list. I am not sure whether it is going to the world audience or confined only to India. Cricket is not known to 95% of the countries in the world. It is an 8-nation game. India is cricket crazy and we are obsessed with the game and Tendulkar's achievements. Naturally, all Indians will vote for him and he will win hands down. But is it a true reflection of real greatness? After all, most of the others in the list of TOI ( I do not remember the complete list) have played or are playing global games unlike cricket which is confined to just 8 countries. So, how far it is correct to even conduct such a poll? In our own country, even the achievements of the likes of Bindra (Olympic gold), Vishwanathan Anand (multiple world championship played by many more countries than cricket) will definitely rank higher. However, as everything is media driven and popularity driven, you have to perhaps bow to that and say, `Tendulkar is the greatest ever sportsman', even if you are not convinced of the same!

maybe he is not the greatest ever sportsman. He is undoubterly the greatest ever Cricketer. How many ever nations play/ do not play, his achievements are by no means less. Just because Anand is a legend in chess, does not down play Sachins acheivements. so lets not bark on Sachin just because you feel some stupid channel should not have conducted some stupid poll... Bark on the channel, i fkcin dont care.
Ponting is the real great with 3 WorldCup wins and part of team which won 16 tests in a row and 11 tests in a row later. Sachin's records are only individualistic and don't deserve a place in the books.

ponting has won all the worldcups with the help of Mr Buckner and most of the tests won by him are umpired by Buckner see his records after the retirment of Buckner you will realise how he is a totally flop and arrogant cricketer aashe has scored only two centuries after Buckners retirement
Mr. P0nting, pls practise hard and give your best. We want you you to give your best and fail. And this time there shouldn't be any excuse of any injury..
