If we compare Sachin versus Viv Richards, Sobers, Bradman etc, we can readily see that their performances had some effect to their teams winning overseas. But with a so much glorified Sachin in the team, why we are not able to win a Test series in Australia or South Africa ? Today again, it has been proved that India doesnt need the baggage of Sachin to win. Youngsters like Kohli and Raina are firing on all cylinders. Who knows, if we had kicked out Sachin and given some new youngsters chance, we would have got some exciting cricketers who can be assets to the country for another 5-10 years. Intelligent section of the public needs to understand this. They need to shift their attitude from blind cricket idol worshipping to the recognition of facts. Sachin can never be compared to even Ponting who is an agile and aggressive fielder and fighter. But excluding the one off Sharjaha encounter and a couple of CB series matches against weak Aus Team that didnt have Mcgrath or other fiery bowlers due to injury did some pyrotechnics. Has ever Sachin took India to victory on a crucial match in a do or die situation. He would easily gift his wicket and go away. Does anybody remember the 1996 semi final against Srilanka. Likewise whenever we want Sachin to stand there and deliver he will fail. He was never a match winner nor can be. He does not have a single instance in his long 23 years of cricketing career where he single handedly took team to victory. Shame on you, blind Sachin fans

The public should discard the IPL - so all politicians and film star ,businessmen who treat this sport as business are destroying the test cricket . Yea! this one of the great wins - but let us not over estimate the opponents who were beaten hollow by Pakistan . Also it is not right time - as every one is basking in thi stupendous win - just see the performance it was pathetic .
If India had played best innings before, then there could be every chances to reach the final. Always India fights at the neck moment. Why it is so? Why did not they play good innings before Semis or Finals.
I liked his answer to the critics question. I saw the press conference and that was an awkward question put to him, he answered it well. That Q shouldn't have been asked in the first place...
Also kohli had said when you go to bat you don't think about what the critics are thinking. you just have a job to do..

once again great knock by kohli.. he has matured as a fine cricketer and we can see it, perhaps the oldies can now take a clue from it!

I dont really want India to play final bcoz India did not play good cricket throughout the tour. But this game was thoroughly entertaining. Face it- Sachin is no more the best batsman in the batting, now Kohli is the best. Sachin is past his prime - now Kohli is the top man. I hope that he continues like this for a long time, like Sachin .
Plaster please retire retire... you are scrwing life of many youngsters..youngsters like Virat Kohli, Raina you are not able to score ..score.. you are the useless one one.... u are the cause for india lossess.... Plaster please retire retire...

No wonder if Australia decides to loose against Srilanka after witnessing fireworks from Indian camp.What is the problem with team India? the winning runs are always scored in last over (match against aus, why do we always look for back door entries.
