its becoz of his worst batting we are suffering even after wining two matches..this is heights of selfishness..he found a best chance and put the team behind..its clearly not coz of bowling..becoz pak has the best bowling attack and india chases 330 easily

Dear Venky, Tendulkar scored with SR of 77 n Kohli with 80, no big difference. But still you are criticizing Tendulkar just bcz he has reached to a milestone whr no other player ever will .
Why cant we Indians digest success of an Indian who has brought Indian cricket name in history ? Plz answer.

who asked him not to score 100..my point is he must have scored at a brisk pace against a weak team even if he gets out he shld have tried against pakistan..
Re: Re: Re: this is what sachin can do to us
by venky on Mar 19, 2012 08:10 PM
my point what ever you are team is first rest next..lots of players in world if they think they can score 100s in many game but the situation of game is important..you can play as per your wish you shld play as per team's wish

And you think what you say is exactly the same as the Indian team thinks ? Loser....Get Real.You are talking about a champion.

mr venky. see the match statitics. when sachin got out, his strike was much better then of kohli at that time
if bangladesh win the match against srilanka then India, pak & bang will be in same points, right? Bang won the match against us and we won against pak, then who will go to finals???
Re: if Bangladesh wins
by vaidehi sen on Mar 19, 2012 07:54 PM
Pak has a bonus point so they are on 9, we have 8 & if bangla win they will reach @ 8 & they will in the finals as they defeated India.
Re: if Bangladesh wins
by christopher surendrian on Mar 19, 2012 07:55 PM
then ICC will do toss between these 3 teams and whoever wins will go to final... shame on u to ask these type questions
Re: if Bangladesh wins
by Prakash Nandwana on Mar 19, 2012 08:36 PM
Pak is already in final. now either Bang or India will go in Final...Srilanka has to win by hook or cock...Else their people will not let them in.
Indian's prayed for australia's win and srilanka won, now rediff is asking all to pray for Lanka. Why shall we ? Whoever deserves will go to final. Rule is same for every country.

Please keep your opinions to yourself. Cricket can be called the national game, in spite of hockey being the official one. Which other game is played so regularly on the streets by kids?

Indians have been so addicted of the game of cricket that our "Boys"(read misfit middle aged individuals)were beaten black and blue by England and Australia. However when they are winning on docile inactive pitches Indians are appaluding the sub-standard heroes

basically..cricket is poorman's game..it does not need big grounds and sophisticated items to play.. so why it is so popular in india and 3rd world countries.. can you plz name one game which can be played which like cricket and can be played by normal indian middle class ppl..

I fully agree with you. since india is no good in any game, Indians are crazy about Cricket and Kabaddi and carroms, where India can win
I saw yesterday game and just wanted to drop you a note of congratulations! You played really well. Hope to see you in final. Khaliq from ISlamabad, Pakistan
Re: Congratulations

Really I feel we didn't play much.. All credit should go to your blowers who did job for us... well done and would expect the same in final too
Re: Who is responsible
by Incredible India on Mar 19, 2012 07:12 PM
You can never compare like this; in first half you have to conserve your batsman and in second half you can go full-blade; that is why DL methods also take into consideration the resource remain
Re: Re: Who is responsible
by kiran kumar on Mar 19, 2012 08:33 PM
abey dkbose, sachin did not play only first half. he played till 47th, then what happened to his full-blade?

by jhinu baby on Mar 19, 2012 07:39 PM
Because of sachin we lost. He wasted too many balls and we had lot of players to come.No other explanations. Most Indian are selfish and hence find pleasure in induvidual milestone rather than a win in a match.
Re: Who is responsible
by Gajanan on Mar 19, 2012 07:42 PM
Answer to your question lies in your question itself. While "others" lasted for just 25.3 overs Sachin alone lasted for 24.3 overs.
Stop being cynical and instead try to understand the sport so as to enjoy it to the fullest.

by arindam das on Mar 19, 2012 08:30 PM
in how many of those matches where tendulkar scored a century did india win? the statistics i think would be interesting. also how many of world batsmen were given one full year to complete just one century?
Re: Re: Re: Who is responsible
by KRAM KRAM on Mar 19, 2012 09:56 PM
across all teams in world cricket, tendulkar's centuries have created more wins for India. This is a real fact...across all teams in world cricket..thats right. Its a huge myth that tendulkar's century ensures India's loss.
Re: Re: Who is responsible
by kiran kumar on Mar 19, 2012 08:32 PM
what a joke, is this a test match to say he played so many overs. its a ODI, and he was there till 47th over. so he should have scored atleast 150.
Re: Who is responsible
by John Seeli on Mar 19, 2012 08:02 PM
Utpal Bhattacharjee: A very uneducated and biased comparison. You are a st-upid and nothing more than that. Let me as you this: In the first 25 years you earned ZERO and you lived on your parents and next 35 years (If you have a job ?) you earned bread for your family? Can you blame your parents upbringing?
Be in right mind. Don't parrot what other f00lish people talk. Have an statement of your own.
I hope you now got the "responsibility" question well addressed.
Re: Re: Who is responsible
by akmal on Mar 19, 2012 08:37 PM
Utpal is absolutely right. Sachin got our in 44-45th over against bangladesh n made his century after 40th over. Is that first half?
In Australia we prayed for the defeat of Sri Lanka but they won and we were out and now we pray for the victory of same Sri Lanka. Will they oblige? Interesting but we have to blame our poor bowling for this fate.
