tendulkar does not play for record.cricket is a team game.if rest of 10 players cant do anything why should we blame to one?

you are wrong that side. i am not satisfied for ur thoughts. playing for urself is playing fir country. so dont comment like that for someone like sachin.
Interest in Test cricket waning ? Think again.At capetown it is not just the cricketers but even the spectators seem to have joined instead of merely watching the game idly.It was poor Sreesanth who was getting the stick from them even while G/smith was at the recng. end from Zaheer at the crease.Over the last four days it had become more than just cricket, a virtual war--perhaps nothing less than the third Boer War for the South africans, the way D/Steyn and Sachin Tendulkar were slugging it out in the middle. It has been certainly the ultimate in TEST cricket seen for long time to come. Both the teams, especially the Indian side deserves all praise for the way they have repeatedly made comeback from a difficult position in such difficult conditions. Now the fight is in its last leg and is now up to the Indians to go all out and conquer the south africans. Better bundle them out for under 150-170 or else India may find once again fighting back to the wall on the fifth day.
Of Steyn's 66 deliveries over two superb spells, Tendulkar played 48. Of the remaining 18, the pacer managed to dismiss Cheteshwar Pujara and MS Dhoni. This speaks of Sachin's supremacy...
In one of earlier discussion regarding Laxman class in 2nd innings batting , I mentioned most of the Test matches are win/Loss by 1st Innings batting, If you consider this test if Laxman scored a 60-70 in 1st innings India would have got a lead of 150 and match was almost over and you don't need to show heroics in 2nd Innings in pressure situation. So my point was failure of 1st innings nly create teh pressure and Sachin scoring rubns in 1st innings only keep India into the game , otherwise once you conceed a lead of 150 in first innings u almost lost the game..and rarely a 2nd innings performance saves u.

Its almost in most of the test Matches, don't need to go further Just consider the ongoing Ashes Test.. The Century what Ian Bell Scored in 2nd innings actually seized the Game for England..but for many of us it will not be well appreciated as they will say it was not a Pressure situation....

BTW did any body see bhajji pushing styns buttons, when he dislodged him for six? best moment of the match. loved it
Its clear now that Tendya cannot play two kinds of deliveries. 1.Fast paced outswingers(both late,early) pitched from the center of good length area(pitch map of full,good,etc). Example:Steyn bowling yesterday. Most of his caught behind,slip catches are because of this 2.Fast paced pitched inswingers(both late,early)from the center of good length area(pitch map of full,good,etc).Most of his LBWs,clean bowled are because of this. Example: Morkel bowling yesterday
If he masters new skills to tackle these, he will win/save more matches for India

CCFAN:
100% correct. Its kinda lucky for the bowlers across the world that he found Ramakant Acharekar instead of you; else he'd have set another world record of never being dismissed at all... ;-)

Rightly said @ Against Pseudos.. When everyone strugling to face Steyn on this pitch & in that Sachin scored briliant century then also some Sachin haters having problem & barking in so many ways...now someone like @ ccfan were telling that Sachin have two weaknesses...

yeah poor sachin has scored only 51 centuries otherwise he would have scored another 49 test centuries to cap 100 in all from tests alone

Dude... For the last 22 years he live like legend in both cricket formats. How many players like this and achevied before..
street dogz are praying for india loss so that they can blame sachin ... it is becoming too much for them that sachin scored a century as usual against world best bowler at present... if india wins and chances are good then some of these sick street stray dogz will probably end their miserable life out of frustration...

Had dale been playing for india in that series then south africa would have lost by 3-0. And all by an inings defeat
It was utter chaos after fall of dhoni's wicket.. there was appeals turn down, beaten with swing and stein was breathing fire. it looked india will collapse 100 runs short. a lesser mortal would have done something silly like counter attack and perished.. but not tendulkar. after watching him for 20 years..my admiration grew one more time yesterday...
