If West Indies gets out before tea tomorrow, India is unlikely to force a follow on. Sachin would come in at the fall of the first wicket and would have time till Lunch on Day 4 to score a century. Post that it would be West Indies Annhilation. This is confirmed team meeting news for this evening.

This media hype of star players is not just particular to India. In Aus also Mike Hussey has saved Aus from crisis but gets sidelined by Ponting and Clarke. In SA, Kallis and Amla are unsung heroes compared to Smith or deVilliers.

Ohh really..?? Pls read the title of this article at first place...media or true fans are happpy for every indian achievement ..its just few make individualistic,regionalistic, or sometiems even religionlistic matter...Of course thats my humble opinion...
Having won the last WI tour 1-0, there was not need for India to carry on till late onto the day and score 600 . An early declaration at 500 was sufficient.
I am not sure how it will improve Indian cricket with big centuries, and a spin oriented attack on tailor made pitches.
If Dhoni had declared early he would have had a chance to give Yadav and Sharma a complete spell, instead they carried on till the light faded away and had to resort to spin.
The plan for the bowlers now is uphill for the next 2-3 days, where they will have to bowl 180-250 overs to get the remaining 18 wickets.
Yuvraj has to contribute as a bowler and the workload of each bowler evenly distributed. Otherwise Ishant, in particular with will be jaded to play in Australia just like the last England tour.
The focus has to be not only winning but concentrate on keeping the players fresh and injury free, and prevent burnout.
The next 200 overs India bowls has to be evenly distributed and Dhoni tends to overuse the spinners to get wickets, something that will cause a problem for the next and upcoming tour of Australia.

Well the iden pitch chnges after 2 days , helps the spinners as per history...And havign sch huse score we have chances of inning's victory..of course too early to say ..
Whenever you say anything negative about Sachin, his fans pounce upon you like a pack of hounds. Instead of having a healthy debate, most of them start swearing at you and give a meaningless set of statistics. Highest this, fastest to reach that, etc, etc, most of which has been accumulated in a 22 years period. Forget world, he is not the best batsman in his own country, not even second best. The only thing extraordinary about his record is the complete lack of quality innings. Anyway, soon we will have a series against Bangladesh and his fans may rejoice :)

Ok. Lara - Sydney, Kingston, Bridgetown, Antigua. Dravid - Eden, Headingley, Adelaide, Kingston, Rawalpindi. Two great cricketers(there are more, of course) I rate much, much higher than Sachin. Now mention one - just one test innings played by your idol better than any of the above innings played by these players. Ok. Maybe Perth. Even that was in a losing cause

sameer, sachin scored 241 bt match ws drawn bcz of bowlers failure, dravid scored 233 n match ws won bcz agarkar bowled exceptional. cricket is a team game, even after sachin's brilliant innings, oders fail, thn its nt sachins fault. sachin 136 vs pak n 175 vs aus r 2 such examples whr oders didnt contribute. dravid played exceptional in england bt team lost all the matches, so acc to u dravid shud b held responsible. isnt it ?
bradman himself considered sachin best, glad to knw that my Indian brother i.e u understnd cricket more thn poor bradman :)
22 years in cricket, most no of games. what is so special about it. tomorrow you induct a 15 year old in the team & let him play till the age of 40 , he will better all the records.
greatness is when you score most runs in least no. of games like richards , sobers etc. more over if you can not win matches for india in cruch situations , you are playing for records. in england he was a failure and in india -at home he has failed to leave his impact on the game.

to be induct at the age of 15 & perform for nxt 22 yrs is nat a child play... u have to perform every year... it as simple logic to understand... bt for guys like u its "Easier said then do"...
Re: sachin tendulkar
by sonu on Nov 15, 2011 11:19 PM
solid singh, special is to keep high average in scoring runs n tons even after so many matches, n oders lack this speciality.
as far as playing in crunch condition is concerned, pressure arises whn sachin departs. dere r dozens of examples whn team failed whn sachin got out.
also why dnt oders play 4 records, cz runs r alwez added to OWN TEAMS TOTAL, NOT OPPOSITION. ISNT IT :)

others are talented too - dravid , sehwag , yuvraj , gambhir, in s r t's case it is a question of over rating & overhype. what talent -the man can't withstand presuure even after 22 years in intle cricket.

OK If for a min We agree (Actually not )overrate or overhype Answer me Why its not to others...??? There got to be reason isnt it..?? afterall many got inducted around 16 e.g.ManinderSing, ShivramaKrishnan..Kapil was 19..Why they couldnt stand 22 years..??

true to your initials you are a pakka C......ya Man.I said overhype & overated which others were not.
When Dhoni, Dravid and Laxman made centuries for India, Sachin is celebrating his 22 Years International Cricket. BCCI should use its power and do some thing that Sachin should score 100th ton to announce his retirement.

Why, unnecessary, create hype in media, about a century? What is there in 100centuries? Sachin has done enough, and this mark of 100 s no landmark?
