That should be the question and not if he is the world's greatest because that will be injustice to Indian greats to put Sachin above them. Batsmen like VVS, Dravid, Sehwag, Vishy and most of all Gavaskar are all better than Sachin in so much that they play for the team cause and influence results (save or win games). So answer is Gavaskar is the greatest batsman Mumbai has ever produced.

Yes, the greatest cricketer ..world has ever seen.. And, the greatest sports person, India will ever produce.. Jai Hind

Sachin is not even the greatest cricketer Mumbai has seen, let alone the world. That mantle is clearly Gavaskar's. Facing up to Marshall, Roberts, Holding, Garner, Croft, Lillee, Thommo, Imran, Hadlee, Patterson and others. All Sachin did was hide or fail against the best of his time like McGrath, W/W, Donald.

well.. When you ask who is the best.. its SG and not ST. You too shouldn't be so funny.. :-)
Just they are exploring the situation into their favour by praising SRT, so that SRT can come into pressure. It is a human psychology, that whenever utmost praise is done, the pressure mounts to rise automatically. SRT cannot play in pressure. The history tells us.

OK OK..you are talking of Pressure..sitting in your Cubicle? This man has played on the ground..in the middle of those situations. I think he knows his game much better than you do :-)
Re: Re: SRT
by classical guy on Jul 13, 2011 08:40 PM
Well... you can't say or compare like this if you have some common sense. Ppl sitting in the cubicle including me have their own work pressures and thats cricket for us. But in general ppl know cricket as its played in public unlike the work what we do which would be known to ppl who are in the same line. So just think man..

That's why he is out by offering silly shots when India need him most. On the other hand Laxman and Dravid, even Bhajji shows their class.

we know how sachin played in chase vs SA 3rd test...when india needed 120 to win in 4th innings when he was captain we lost. we know how many balls sachin lasted...

Even SRT should have there, he should have been out in the first delivery of Edwards. Do you understand the nature of pitch or just have only the emotional praise.

Very well replied... This is the difference between great man like Sachin and good man like Dravid or Laxman...

That is the greatness of such a great player in the history of cricket.. You are the lucky enough to watching his game live.

Sachin cannot win matches..but you 'yasshoal', sitting in the comfort of your chair and commenting on others will win the matches..isnt it?
Re: Sachin cannot win matches

What a rubbish comment "Any test class batsman can score 100's if his only intention is to score 100." Why nobody score so many 100? Whether they did't want? or Bowlers didn't allow them!!
Re: Re: Sachin cannot win matches
by Asim Mehtani on Jul 13, 2011 06:05 PM
The question is not of scoring more hundred, but to ensure Nation should not suffer. For Example Laxman and Dravid, unsung hero of Indian team

We indians will never change..even the other players from different countries who knows cricket better than us are praising Sachin and we are hating him for no reason. team wins when 11 players play good but not just by a single person innings, sachin contributed 35(ODI's) centuries for India to win and mere just 13 have failed to make india win. he has done so much for indian cricket and we are stil hating him... Plz respect the legend. A salute to Master...JaiHind,

It is very difficult for loosers to accept the success of others... They people only criticize others, because they are not like them or even near them...

hahaha Why they are not praising to whole Indian team, so that the pressure of everybody mounts to rise and England can win very easily... Better we don't try to tell Sachin about cricketing pressure, as because You/we are just KID in front of Sachin in the field of Cricket..
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: G.Gambhir.....
by Asim Mehtani on Jul 13, 2011 06:29 PM
I am not saying that I ma greater then Sachin. But the fact still remain the same, that he cannot play under pressure. Try to accept the fact. Do not be so emotional

I think Sehwag, Dravid & Sachin are the key players in England, as because Gambhir, Raina or Yuvi are not very well (initially) against the swinging conditions.
sachin has wife anjani a british citizen so there chances that catches are dropped lavishly like 4 dropped catches in mohali one day match against parkistan sachin may hit 6 tons to check his tally of hundreads from 99 to 105 straghtway! sachin has to play cool headed innings as he played 248 agaist bangladesh, 243 australia sachin has not scored 300 till date so also dravid and laxman only sahewag has done that 2 times 309 against parkistan 306 africa twice
