When Sachin is praised by anybody, it is because they want a share of money or role in BCCI and it is like a political statement. But when he is unduly criticized, or other players like Dhoni are praised, the person who does that is telling the truth and all people who dont agree with them are Sachin fantards :)
This is definitely a baseless and uncalled for comparison that has neither any meaning nor any value because here someone has tried to compare players from two different sports. Well, was it done to keep Sachin in limelight? If yes, why?
Not against the greatness of Sachin, Gavaskar, Pataudi, Kapil and a whole lot of others. But personally, I feel that V. Anand is the greatest sportsperson this country has produced. Why not give him the attention he deserves?

Anytime a foreign cricketer wants to break into the lucrative Indian Cricket "market" as a commentator, he starts by praising Sachin the most hyped cricketer in the history of the sport, no matter how much that cricketer hated the undue credit given to Sachin when he actually played against Sachin!
are two different type of games, for playing football you need stamina, skill, talent and a lot of luck..by any standard soccer stars are supreme..you cant compare AN ORANGE WITH an apple.

Relax guys relax. There is no doubt Donald is a fan of Tendulkar. Lot of people are fan of Tendulkar. Tendulkar is great. But what is the need to tell this in media when Tendulkar is at the twilight or very end of his career. 1) There is a culture here you praise Tendulkar and BCCI, you will be hired as bowling coach, commentator or IPL franchise coach. 2) Second you get lots of money from times of india for writing small section of sports column or expert comments 3) Last these foreigners have done lot of research on Indian culture. Like Models in europe want to become katrina they start praising bollywood and shah rukh and they get item number. In cricket if you want something, praise tendulkar If you want to come close to congress, hate BJP. Vice verca. Although 90% of india is really poor but lots of money lots of money is flowing at top in bollywood and cricket here.. Has anyone praise hockey pillai because they know they will not get anything from hockey or chess champion too often.. they know money is in cricket and film
