one should not compare sachin & gayle,their batting styles are different. sachin is a technically correct batsman,who values his wicket,whereas gayle prefers to go for the bowling and is ready to throw his wicket away.
Lets see How Gayle plays when he Turns BETWEEN 35 - 40???? Next generation will say same What a curse to have this idiot in our team... And its going to be same with everyone. Common sense. (which is not common and is rightly said).
he can not even dream to play the inninigs which gayle played - chanceless 175.Gayle is the original master blaster whereas sachin has proved that in similar conditions ;against the same bowling attack he is a dud getting single digit scores. a big h0@x of a cricketer.

what are you comparing? Please watch chris gayles innings carefully, Did you see wristy flicks? , did you see awesome staright drive ? , did you see OR matter of fact knee bending elegantly placed cover drive? What i saw was Gayle's amazing ability to scoop delivery using strong forearm. That was special but cant compare to innings with wide array of beautiful and elegant shots.

rajiv kumar , how do you know I have not seen cricket, If you mean shivaji park / dadar cricket, then I agree with you. we are talking of the tag of " master blaster " & being " finsisher &winner". the useless technique of useless tendi has not resulted in anything except his personal records. where was the technqiue against eng & aus when unknown bowlers did not allow him to score more than 10.

Tendulkar holds the record for most number man of match awards against Australia. Check his records , Only 5 Centuries against non test playing minnows like Kenya, Namibia and Kenya was the semi-finalist of the world cup 2003

it does not seem to be the original wcpak, anyways it is not my problem. sachin has many more chanceless centuries. maynot be such a hard hitter as sehwag or gayle but clearly a real batsman. only rahul dravid is a parallel to sachin in adjusting to any pitch or attack. calling such people as hoaxes is the best proof to say u havent seen any cricket. still fuming over the worldcup semis loss??
Sachin Tendulkar represents the biggest brand scam in the annals of sports. He is one of the greatest under-performers in cricket, who cannot deliver under pressure most of the time. Nevertheless, one should concede that his technique looks reasonably good. The trouble is actually his shot selection.
