Comparing No.1 and 2 batsmen with others is not correct. Openers/one down batsmen lay the foundation and remember there are other batsmen who have to do their job. Any analysis will prove that the contribution that Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid made was instrumental in many of India's victories and draws. Dravid scored three centuries but the others didn't do well in recent England series which India lost 4-0. Can u blama Dravid for that
Dear Shoiab, Don't you know that Sachin is the ONLY one who put all your balls out of stadium, with the result you are now retired hurt and retired in young age. Try to be tru Paki..... Ravinder K JALALI
its wrong thinking of shoiab that sachin was afraid of him. He was uncomfortable aginst him like he is against other fast bowlers like malinga,dale steyn, anderson, etc.
But he is right that modi and sharukh are chors. but he doesnt know that whole BCCI is corrupted and their leader is sharad pawar
V know that cricketers especially from Pakistanis who R Not playing the game at the moment will comment very badly like this only.
Whereas Sachin is still playing the Game as well records being coming Sachins way.
Only Pakistan players will give immature comment since No country want to play in Pakistan and hence the frustration rises to the Highest way. It shows their immaturism.

You are absolutely correct. This Shoaib is really a mad cricketer and he can not bowl a single over with no flaws.Even our bowler Balaji hit him for a huge six,then how our batting mastero might have feared for his bowling.He is not a good cricketer and he was sidelined by PCB for long.Don't mind his foolish autobiography.
Nobody likes to face genuine fast bowling, and Sachin is no exception. Many will agree that Sachin was never comfortable against Shoiab, but to say that he was afraid of Shoiab, is really stretching the imagination too far. Other bowlers he has been uncomfortable with have been Glenn McGrath, Hansie Cronje and James Anderson.

Good One,Singh,since umpires were Scared to death of isi and jehadis they had nO courage to call shoaib a CHUCKER,Righht,folks?See how south african wolmer was eliminated by slitting his throat???Shoaib MUST NOT forget that Sachin has hit him for many sixers more than any one else&hence his comments on Sachin.Regarding SRK he is not only a dirty politician BUT also a namak haram, enjoying all the money and love of millions of indians, but a real jehadi pakistani robot at hear having only hatred for indians!Why NOT ban Test Cricket Right NOW& save indians and third world nations from more poverty and misery!? Sadly there are millions of brain-washed slaves and robots of crooked westerners and anti-indians who want to keep all indians lazy and morronic and want us to play cricket all the year round so that millions of man hours or woman hours are wasted and we indians remain poor and lazy forever.Where is anna hazare and team and have they gone to sleep alreeady or are they too bribed by crooked rulers and looters to do useless agitations and to be like silly bollywood movies and criket to distract indians from poverty &misery so that looters and dacoits can loot forever??? what a shame, there are still thousands of slaves and robots of crooked westerners and agents who love only themselves and not the nation or community development, Shame,folks
sachin never scared of shoaib.Infact sachin has taught lesson to shoaib many times. Shoaib is known for behaving abnormally. We should not give importance to his comments. But no doubt sachin is over hyped and in crucial moments he rarely performed for India.
I think its high time we have to accept our perspective may not be shared by everyone. I am not saying that Shoaib is right or wrong , or he is making allegations to make his book sell. Atleast he has proved himself as a successful fast bowler in his era and he has the rights to say his perspective of his contemporaries. We need to remember we are just fans and not players to understand his perspective. We have definitely accept that Shoaib will definitely have a better understanding of Sachin than you or me sitting and watching in front of TV. Why do we have to get personal about this. Why cant we come out of the situation and have a unbiased look at this matter. Its not a matter of country vs country. He has the stature to write a book and he is writing it. Lets understand thats what his perspective and lets learn to respect others and this is the first sign of unity in diversity. This is my humble request to all of my fellow indians. Thanks San
