If Sachin scores team India always loses. Sachin's bad luck was countered by the good luck of Coach Gary Kirsten, VVS, Viru, Gauti, Bunty, Jammy, Dhoni, Yuvi etc. Yuvi had great luck. Even when Sachin scored Yuvi could neutralise his bad luck if he stayed at the crease for long. Never ever pick up Sachin ever again. He is terrible luck for team India. Drop Sachin for ever.
Congrats Gambhir For first ever ODI half century for winning causes abroad away either in Australia, South Africa, and one score of 51 at Leeds England

Sanjay, it is because of a certain level of blind hatredness, we have seen blind love for players we have to see this hatredness as well. All part of the game :)
Its very very important for Team India to in matches and go the final for commercial success of the tri-series. Since the matches are being played and fully telecasted in India time zone, the organizers and sponsors will be at huge loss if Team India fails as over 80% revenue comes from consumer companies in India.
Kudos to Indian team to win a game finally as a team. This is exactly what we need, no unnecassary media coverage of big names but just team effort. Congrats!
Congrats Tem Ind..but got to remember Aus team didnt perform to their std and their rotation failed a bit too last 2 ODIs ..one against lanka (even though they won it) and now against Ind...Some ro tten minds cant enjoy victory and make it an issue abt SRT as usual...no hope from them in any circumstances...Sehwag is big concern Suresh or Rohit deserved fifty missed it ..Jadeja has done avg job..With first 3 batters made almost half runs in lil more than 26 overs and third wkt failed on 166 ..Ind should hav finished this match 2 3 overs earlier.as Gautam mentioned..So good moral boosting victory ..but not dominating one..Great composure and inning from Dhoni...keep it up guys..Ind team still need a great all rounder ... for next WC

So you are also among the blind Sachin Haters and Sehwag supporters. Drop Sachin from squad even if he is highest run-getter after Kohli and retain Sehwag even if he averages in single digit. Isn't that your idea?

given the responsibility juniors wud perform, n nothing worse wud happen. situation cant b worse than losing 8-0 having seniors in the team. start building new bench strength.
Sachin should have been retired from all forms of Cricket soon after world cup win.His name Fame and Credibility will be stayed long.Now every one cursing him.Bradman even though he got chance to make 100 Avg,He didn't do that.That is greatness of Great Player. Sachin reached heights that no one can reach.So he should have given that to youngsters.He became White Elephant in Indian ODI Team.More so if Sachin retired before Australia Test Series, atleast Indian Fans have some happiness that,Because no Sachin,India lost Series.Now that reason also vanished.

could not agree more with u.Indians players must learn for australian and england players .You should retire with dignity not when somebody asks u to.IPL has made sachin and other players shameless.its better lose with youngesters who will gain some experience rather than playing 39 year olds.Probably sachin is waiting for his son to play and then he will retire.he is shameless indeed.

which aus players are you talking about. ponting has not been performing for 2 years and did not retire. steve waugh was kicked out after failing for a while. border was forced to retire. About English players, name a English great in the past 20 years.

Steve Waugh had a sterling retirement plan which he announced 6 months back and hit a memorable last knock to save his team. McGrath too had announced his retirement and retired as world champion.
Sachin has dues of over 200 crores on his sponsors, so he has to play.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Sachin should have retired after World Cup
by sudsuj on Feb 13, 2012 07:54 PM
really? check your facts. Steve Waugh was officially told by their board to retire and was striped of his captaincy few months before. If you think that is a sterling retirement plan, so be it.
If Sachin is expecting 200 crores for playing a couple more years, and if he is playing pretty well (his WC performance etc), what is wrong in playing?
Re: Sachin should have retired after World Cup
by ANIL SINGH on Feb 13, 2012 10:35 AM
making a century and maintaining 100 average is not same. it would have meant bradman needed to score 104 in next inning and in case he got out on 50 then next inning he would have needed 154. thats not the case with making 100 100s as sachin can fail as many times. his 99 centuries will not be effected
Re: short memory

Dhoni is not a hero. He did a blunder but at end win for India. He must rotate strike early so that there is no pressure on other batsman. Raina & Gambhir win for India & Dhoni almost throw the match playing too safely. Dhoni must think he plays for country not for spectators. At the end win matter, if match is lost all the blame to dhoni, he could not take a single at last ball of 49 over
Anyway this is a ever running debate. Let us continue in the next article. Hope you would allow me to join in your debate though i am a sachin servant.
