Last evening, in the hotel room, a relaxed Shakib Al Hasan refused to speak about Sehwag but told a story that perhaps was more revealing. It was from the eve of the game against India in the 2007 World Cup. Mashrafe Mortaza was chatting with a few Indian players, who apparently told him that the tournament schedule was very tight and they don't have many days to rest as they have to immediately travel to Bangladesh for a series.
It was Kumble who was concerned about the tight schedule! In that match i think Murtza was considered the MOM!

Q 1 )When ever selfish tendulkar scores a ton india loses ?
FACT:india has won 32 matches out of 45 when tendulkar has scored a ton which is a whopping 71%
Q 2)Oh is it ? but this useless player should have scored all his 32 match winning centuries against weaker teams like bangla/kenya/zim?
FACT: His tons have helped india win 9 times against australia.list is as follows - australia--9, new zealand --5, srilanks -5, kenya -4, zimbabwe-4, west indies-3, south africa-2, pakistan-1 & namibia -1
Q 3) : All most all of his match winning centuries were scored batting first this choker cant score a run while chasing under pressure ?
Fact: Tendulkar has scored 17 tons while chasing a huge score & india has won 15 times ( unbelievable 88 %).some of his most popular innings while chasing , the one against aus in WB series downunder & the one in sharjah , the innings against pakistan in wc,
Q 4)May be this was long time back ,BUt in recent times whenever he has scored a ton we have lost ?
FACT:India has won last 4 matches out of 5 when he has scored a century ( 80%)
5 ) UNFAIR CRITICISM: All his Man of the match awards are useless , we end up losing like we did against aus recently ?
FACT: Tendulkar has won 60 MOM's out of which in india has won 54 times (90%), & 8 times he got MOM award in the finals ( Hold ur breath 100 % success rate , all were won ) . Apart from this he has be named man of the series 16 times.

Hi Shirish, agreed with you. Sachin is the only player who loved to play. Cricket is just like a "Puja" to him not like other players who just PLAY. ASK ONE MORE PLAYER TO MAKE ALL THESE RECORDS (he can make all the records against Bang/Keneya), play for 20 years for his country and then compare with Sachin

ok, I accept Bangladesh is weak team. Other than Sachin none of our players played well against a weaker team Bangladesh.

if Bangladesh is that bad a test playing team, how come no other Indian team member was able to score to potential.Every sportsperson has an "off" day and it is very to comment sitting in the comfort of your home/office.It is better to do something more tangible than offer mere lip service which is useless.
