funny guy shoaib. world cup 2003, when he was challenging shewag and sachin to hit 6, if they dare to, shewag replied, he is your dad, so dont challenge him. shoaib pizzedoff, when he saw his next delivery , the ball was seeing flying over the gallery
Shoaib may not be entirely wrong. Actualy, Tendulkar and Dravid were not match-winners nor did they know the art of finishing games like Vivian Richards, Brian Lara
Shoib...one should have an self assessment before penning about a legend...unfortunately not even a single comment of your so called idiotic, demotic substandard autobiography will be taken up by cricket world or society..Sachin is not only a cricketer but a gentle man, a role model for his attitude, determination, sincerity..2 decades of restless cricket and can you figure out any controversy he is invloved in... at least a comment which hurts cricket or cricket collegues?? If asked about shoib to Sachin..he would say " yes he is a good cricketer unfortunate he has retired... I adore him not only as a sportsman but an individual who has influenced the hearts of plenty... Salute to him
The guy talks about Vivian Richards.When did he ever bowl to Richards to access him.He should talk about contemporary players. Also except for the Calcutta test when Sachin got bowled first ball by an yorker, rest of the times he has always got the better of him including the thrashings he received in the world cup in SA. Not fair to even smell two of our greatest cricketeers.

becoz of his illiteracy, he supposed to write some thing good about Tendulker but due to grammatical mistake meaning came out differently.... :lol
Everyone talks about how Sachin belted Shoaib in 2003 WC match but not many remember how Sachin got out. Shoaib fired an unplayable short-pitched delivery to Sachin. Sachin was totally uncomfortable to play that delivery & gave a dolly catch to the Gully fielder.
Sachin was technically sound during early phase of his career when he faced bowlers like Imran, Akram, Wasim, McDermott, Hughes, Whitney, Walsh, Ambrose, Donald etc. But during later phase of his career Sachin played most matches on slow flat wickets with fallen pace bowling standard. He could be seen bit uncomfortable facing real good quality pace bowling against the likes on Shoaib & Steyn.
Shoaib often barks crap but this time he is not entirely wrong. Only unbiased cricketing brains can trace authenticity of Shoaib's statement.
Regarding Shoaib's statement on SRK & Modi, noone would disagree with the fact that they are cheats.

Yes Makya, u r right. The ball that Sachin got out was unplayable. But saying that Sachin/Dravid were afraid is something very foolish. Also, tell me when India has played a fast bowler. After Srinath, i dont remember seeing fast bowlers (bowling consistently). Nehra came close, Ishant was sometimes OK. But more often than not, they were inconsistent. Sachin bats against these people in nets. If there were quality fast bowlers in our team, our people would have clicked batting against pacers.
WROTE THIS BOOK UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF "ALCOHOL & DRUGS" FORGIVE HIM. SACHIN SAID HE DONT WANT TO COMMENT BECAUSE HE LOOSE HIS DIGNITY. WHAT A GOOD COMMAND. SHOAIB PLS JOIN IN POLITICS WITH IMRAN KHAN WHO CAN TEACH YOU GOOD CULTURE AND HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITHOUT MAKING IDIOT COMMENTS. I AM AFRAID YOU MAY DRAG YOUR FATHER TOO IN THIS CONTROVERSY. GOOD ADVICE "STOP ALCOHOL AND DRUG" USING AND THEN TRY TO WRITE SOMETHING KNOWLEDGABLE
