There are a lot of guys here who want Sachin to retire. So how do you guys feel everytime you see Sachin is in the playing field? ur bottom-burning? To me cricket is a sport and for entertainment. I love cricket/Indian team and more than anything to see sachin playing. And it gives me more pleasure knowing u guys are not able to enjoy cricket :)
forgettable Floccinaucinihilipilification for cricketing fraternity ..
Circumbilivagination of winning moves showered upon Honorificabilitudinitatibus opponents like rabiosa rabbits who were timids always in front of tiger.
He was praising the Indian spinners for bowling 'extremely well' during the WI first innings, and today evening, when the India team got all out for 209....suddenly the pitch became ordinary and getting more and more ordinary. Yes, it is a fact that this Kotla wicket is not even close to Ranji Trophy standard - let ago Test standard - but why don't those so-called 'experts' give credit to the opposition when they are doing good???!!

It is been common practice now a days every one to criticizes Sachin Tendukar, very sad too, from Afridi, shoib akther to Ian chapel tried to find the flaws in master blasters contribution, and greatness of this man is that he never uttered a word in his defense, he is not only great player, great human being too. Many critics says he played for himself, made many centuries, my simple questions to those maroons is that should a player throw his wicket when he has passed 90 plus, certainly it would be foolishness if he does it. The contribution of player is for himself as well as for the country.

No one is saying that one should throw his wicket when he is on 90s. The question here is consistency and argument is about playing well in 1st innings. If you see the record of sachin and other batsmen they have not performed well in 1st innings. Take a example of this current match, they are ahead by 116 and if they score another 175 we need 275-300. If sachin scores 75 but if india still looses what is the meaning of that 75 or even 100 or even 50. If he would have scored even 35 runs in 1st innings the lead would have been only 70 with 8 wickets left. Mentally when the lead is below 70 and above 110 is makes a lot of difference in your mindset mohammed. No one is criticizing sachin, Sachin is a great player and is going to remain great. But he is letting himself and team india down by not scoring runs when it matters. Even in england he scored 90 odd but in 2nd innings when india have to chase 500 runs to win the watch. Now many teams in history have chased 500 runs in 2nd innings. He made 90 odd runs in that test match againis england but india lost, and in 1st innings he only scored 12. He is obvisouly a great ambassader for cricket as he never says anything to anyone, so that shows he has immense patience and humble and a great human being. But at the end of day we also expect him to play well aganis this poor west indies side.
india will win this match bcz all condition is in favour of india & if total target met nearby 300 can chase it easily & now indian player will play according to condition not roughly
Do you really know the scoreline for this match?? There's only one result in this match and it's WI win. As usual if pitch does something our mastro Sachin never scores. The trend continues. Good job.

Don't be so pessimistic . India is definitely behind , but this collapse was due to some poor shots . The batsmen's complacence , rather than the bowler's ability produced most of the wickets . The pitch isn't good but it's not an unplayable turner either . If India can get WI out for around 150-175 ( possible since the batsmen except for Chanderpaul look weak against spin ) , India can chase around 300 in the fourth innings . Either way the match is unlikely to go into the final day .

Who will guarantee that those poor shots wont come again in 2nd innings. may be this time couple of guys who have not performed in 1st innings will perform in 2nd and who have made fifities in 1st innings would flop in 2nd innings. How many times you and me and all other have watched this poor shots coming now and then. Most important is consistency. Except dravid no is seems consistent, not even sachin, laxman, Dhoni, and even Yuvraj. We cannot be positive and optimistic all the time, sometimes we need to accept the facts as well. Our batsmen most of the time lets us down not bowlers either in one day or test.Negativity creates self concerns and brings new ideas and that can help.
