Indians are eternally patient.We can wait for another 25-30 years till the next world cup win(on home soil?),while the aussies or others go on winning!!!
The white man continues his age-old domination in nearly all fields of life.Pity the brown man!
When Suresh raina was bowling gr8 why Jadeja was not even given a single over.?? Rohit shoudnt hv impetuous for catch..Opening partnership made good foundation for Aus..Hope he will remember this for long time..Again Youngsters couldnt materalise their chances usually Rohit, Suresh, Jadeja get to bat lil after 25/30/35 overs ...not this time...Whole team failed...Dhoni batted well but other deciions were aweful..

Because Dhoni is a captain genius. He can finish-off everything in final over and final ball because he knows in advance that he will get a series of no-balls in final over. Then a geniius comes out of him and finishes the match. And then he speaks media that he can finish it in any over. Then media again starts saying "Dhoni is the best finisher". Yes, indeed he finished the art of cricket, now what we see is some fluke shots that are some times sixes and some times land in fielder's hands. The media then writes stories accordingly. If India wins they say 'India's winning streak' and if India looses they write 'Hapless India is hammered by ...'. Routine.

fixing in this match. 1) dhoni purposely didnt gv jadeja even a single over. part timer raina given full 10 overs! 2) pitch having bounce n pace but the fastest pacer yadav given the ball in 23rd over! moreover yadav didnt complete his 10 overs! 3) dhoni missed many runouts.
First time India won CB final in aussie in 2008 and Sachin played 2 match winning final innings.Prior to that he was failure just 210 runs in 8 matches.So give him time.Some irrational arguments will say that Target was just 247 in final,well in Australia 247 is a winning total (that too in chasing) not many team have chased such total in final the record says even WL(with Brian Lara),England( with KP,Flintoff),Pakistan(with Inzamam) failed to win CB(earlier VB cup) best of 3 finals.So keep patience with SRT and Team India.
Now as far as argument of he being selfish -- read this statement
eople think he is being affected by the numbers game, namely his 100th international century. Many even think he is playing in the ODIs for the record. But then one must know that that the tournaments he has chosen to play only just that it’s the love of the game that’s driving him on, not the lure of personal records. He has generally skipped ODIs at home and in the subcontinent - (Asia Cup and Tri-series in Sri Lanka (2010), New Zealand (2010), West Indies (2011) — and opted for more challenging away series in South Africa, England (pulled out due to injury) and the current series.
So why is this fuss about? Why do we expect him to score a ton and be a match winner whenever he walks onto the field? Why does he get criticised for even his well made 30s, 40s and 50s?

If he was so keen about 100th 100 and 50 centuries in Oneday he would have played in all subcontinent matches and Against WestIndies. He gave chances to youngster and check out record of youngesters in those matches.Did they learn from those mistakes? IN aus rohit,raina are not able to cope up with bounce.Even gambhir.. Dhoni Fans call him matchwinner but what he was doing at 6th position today? why not come out at 4th and play a winning knock?is definition of finisher the one who hits winning runs? comes when target is just 40-50?And these same critics expect Sachin an opener to come and stay till end,well he did 3 times in his career including brillant 175 against aus,169 in newzland,200 against SA... And do not forget SRT was written off after tennis elbow,and he came back strongly,and he will come back strongly.He may not be GOD but he has blessings of GOD.

only a person with strong dedication and passion can overcome injuries like tennis elbow and back injury and revive the career,post 2007 Sachin has scored more than any other player in current generation in both forms.Due to back injury and toe injury,tennis elbow injury he may not be as aggressive as pre 2007 but give due to this Great man,how many of mortals can come with such determination? when every tom dick and harry were saying his career is finished?Tendulkar is blessed one because he is down to earth unlike Virat and Gamhir who have inflated ego.In fact Dravid,Kumble,VVS are other players who are down to earth and it will be difficult for India to carry foward in years to come
Yes Sachin will retire sooner but there will be no charm because then get used to see India losing regularly in oneday and tests.

Dravid,Laxman in their interview said that mere presence of Tendulkar also helps them in batting because entire opposition focus on his wicket that eases them.This was also articulated by Wasim Akarm just last week that psychologically plays big role in opposition when Sachin in playing eleven.No batsmen in history of game was studied to such extend by opposition and that is because SRT is great and will remain greatest bat to walk on earth.His bad luck,born in country like India who care little about heroes.This is same country that foul mouth Mahatma gandhi too!!

Youngsters are need of hour but do we have such youngsters?Rohit given lot of chances but have failed up until now,Virat played just one worthy innings and he is another Yuvi/bhajji in making with foul mouth and inflated ego,Raina,even after 80 odd onedays cant play short play and will never ever learn to play because he is another player who is in playing 11 due to influence and not on merit.Jadeja what kind of allrounder he is? is this team of CSK? or Team India?

parthiv patel - failed to impress
jadeja - failed to impress
rohit - a flop
raina - a flop
tiwary - i can bet he will be a big flop in aussie
so who are the youngsters remaining? bring them on India is now a laughing stock when we say Jadeja is an allrounder... at no 6 and no 7 u need specialist who can finish off games,Does jadega or raina have in them to do such acts? Raina will be lion playing in flat wickets and when target is less but when wickets have fallen say 3 or 4 quick wickets he will give in.I say,let them give fight,at least make fighting 70 or 80 runs to justify call of retiring Sachin,show mettle before calling for Sachin's retirement

Dear Arun There is no use trying to convince those people who oppose Tendulkar. Because they might not have seen the pathetic condition of India just before Tendulkar's arrival. If any body does some research on number of matches won by India against Pakistan before Tendulkar's arrival. India won just under 20% of matches against Pakistan and Indians were dreaming for a victory against Pak. But after SRTs arrival, winning against Pak was an easy task made. Plus number of matches fixed by ex-Capt. Azhar, Manoj Prabhakar, ajay Jadeja. They themselves admitted that sachin spoiled their betting by winning a match single-handedly. Entire decade of 1990 was dominated by Sachin. Then small gap during early 2000s. Then peak form from 2003 till 2008. He won so many matches. He won so many hearts. See the way he used to bat...dedication & perfection. Only one question to all these youngsters. How many of current generation players (including Dhoni etc) can play a confident straight-drive???? the straight drive is a best measure against a batsman's ability as it requires 100% head-on contact with ball. Many a number of shots i cricket book are re-defined as having to be played as by Sachin. These morons never change. Let them *-off

mr power cut,did you see the match,2 catches dropped one ,very second ball when wade was zero,rohit dropped the catch and one of hussey ,yadau dropped the catch,both the times zaheer was the bowler,still zaheer got the 1 wicket 44/10 overs,vinay ist spell was good but he was not given long spells,bowlers loose the track and irfan pathan was given raw deal for long time then he was given opening spells and and the last 5 overs which are very hard,the kind of field placement and attitude,still he got 3 wickets.I blame dhoni first then our batsmen then bowlers,why he dropped ash win and took jadeja and he was not utilized as bowler.
who hv been bashin sachin for a long time by writing that he wl score 100 vs bangladesh, ok, if he ds that we wl see hw many others (remaining 6 specialist batsman) wl score century in that match ?
in history of 135 years of cricket no one reached 99 centuries, only ONE INDIAN - SACHIN REACHED THERE, in coming 135 years no one wl reach there, ONLY ONE INDIAN wl remain there, - SACHIN TENDULKAR.
now porkIE$ in disguise of Indians may cm n criticize my comments :)
