Best way to deal with these idiots is to ignore them because they thrive on attention--always bashing Sachin for one thing or others to get attention. Tackle
My policy is not to reply to these morons no matter how much provoking their comments are.
I am reading lots of criticisms about sachin. Truly indian cricket will be poorer without sachin. He is the true ambassador for sports. He has devoted his life for cricket and india. People without any knowledge of the game have started writing about him. see a mail below. He has told that because of sachins poor strike rate the test is meandering for a draw. In reality the lankans consumed 2 days and the indians will consume 2 days so there is no chance for victory at any cost because our bowling is more or less equivalent to that of street cricket.
i can saw many compliments for sachin for his another century on another flat wicket after too many lost chances around by srilanka where sangakara scored double century and put his team into real commanding position, on other way sachin scoring those runs who can draw the match only, due to his low strike rate, but looks like peoples are more happy now with his century, even now they will not mind if india will loose or even draw this particular match, despite of the fact that series is already is 1-0 so its more better to compliments to sport and wins of country instead of any individual one.

cricket-illiterates like Ms Richa should know that no team can hope to win a Test after the opposition has scored 642 in the first innings. You can only play for a draw at this stage. That is exactly what Tendulkar is doing so magnificently with good support from Raina and Dhoni.

not even draw, forget chasing 642, one shud play safe to avoid follow-on first. Then go for saving te match and then go for a Draw. Wining was ust out of question here !!

Completely true, you can't even imagine to win if opposition has 642 runs under belt. People who say, stupids like Richa, either haven't ever watched and followed a test match or they hardly know how a test match is won or drawn or lost.

sachin has done his job, what others do? ask others to get win...Why only sachin to win the match? See others strike rate, is others is higher? even if u score 1000 runs u wont win, it wud be draw. sachin is doing the same job. Be silent instead of making comments on great player.
- If he scores 100, you say its for records (as if it doesn't add to team total and doesn't save the team from another embrasement) - If he gets out w/o getting 100, you call him irresponsible, not playing when team needs most (like he got criized for getting out at 85 in 1st test) - If he doesn't get past 50, you call him a failure & ask for immediate retirement - If the match is drawn, you say he doesn't score to win!!! (as if loosing a match is better than a draw!!) - when Sehwag gets out at 99, you call it courageous/bold shot (when infect its irresponsible) but when SRT gets out even at 150 , we call him not leading from front. - people call him selfish & changed style to prolong the career, as he is not as classy as he was in his prime!! (so waht, he is still better than all other Indian batsmen & has better strike rate than other batsman & desrves a place in the team based on current performance & not based on reputation)
This can't go on and on. Indian bowlers giving away runs like heavy rains at over 4 or 5 an over. How long can the poor Indian batsmen keep scoring 500 to 700 runs in one innings against good bowlers from the oppostion who are not in any way as pathetic as our bowlers? Indian bowlers have bowled worse than bowlers from Bangladesh, West Indies or Zimbabwe in this series so far. This is a serious problem for India.

yes agreed.... our bowlers are worse than bangladesh bowlers. These newbies like Ohja/mishra dont have any dedication amply displayed when they refuse training sessions made by the team coach / physio
it seems in tall these years v r still dependent on one man to save our blushes " Mr. Sachin Tendulkar " . again he put his hand up when india needed the most along with an partner who made an remarkable debut in suresh raina . in asia everyone knows wickets r flat but one think v all forget is finally its the application , spending time at the crease and taking it as per situation. overconfident sehwag again went for glory rather than thinking abt pride it created an opening and two good balls saw the back of promising murali vijay and the wall{dravid} .in sub continent pitches when ball sometimes spins and jump i dont c y an player of caliber like laxman wants to pad up rather than showing his face of the bat which has yielded him soo may runs all these years.Sachin with some luck and great concentration showed us again y he is the best .and seeing the way master blaster played i guess raina grew in confidence it never seemed as he was playing his first test . watch out to all waiting in the wings and fighting for an place this strokeplayer is here to stay.day 4 gonna b challenging as for one they have to avoid follow on and once they did it , i guess they should plan to bat all of day 4 and possibly day 5 so that they can go in an right frame of mind for the third test.also lankans staying in the field for more than 3 days gonna raise serious issues on the type of wickets these kind of international grounds produce.

It was Rahul Dravid that was always there for India in test matches. Apparently, Dravid is past his prime now. Little master, however, never had a rough patch for a long time ever in his career.
Re: Re: face saving innings

Dravid has had 3 bad innings so far . he averaged 79 last year. So yeah, please quit having knee jerk reactions.

Knee jerk reactions? My yass, Dravid was better before. So yeah, please stop denying the fact.
Re: Re: Re: Re: face saving innings

so wait .. 3 inning failures for someone who hasn't played international cricket for a while is unacceptable ? remember this is the beginning of the cricket season.
india is still having the chances of scoring more than 600 runs in this test. Bowlers are not causing any harm here. It's the way batsman plays it. There is nothing for bowlers except that bowlers can adopt for negative line and length. If Batsmen plays little watchfully, india can easily score more than 600 on this. If possible, 700 also. Who knows if Raina and Dhoni both scores more than 200 .This is a good opportunity for Harbhajan to score a century and other tail enders to score fifty plus.
