why are we becoming such obsessive & intolerant bunch after all cricket is played in just a handful of countries...do we know all the ICe Hockey legends of Russia??? This article is presented in a very kiddish way...expect a balanced article from Rediff...As media vehicles one of the most of sacred ethics is to present news in objective & reasonable way...this is far from it!!!
I posted a link of Sharapova ignorance and how she has hurt sentiment of billions of ppl around the world and wiki moderator says sachin still not famous outside India. Rubbish! http://www.ekhichdi.com/b/Wikipedia-Deleting-Maria-interview-on-Sachin-Tendulkar-613.html

Your premise is incorrect. The absolute number of fans is not that important since most of them are from the same country ( ie.India). This is because India's population is so large ( BTW that is NOT a compliment). Instead,the real importance of a sport is how many countries in the world it is popular and in that area Tennis beats Cricket hands down.

Common man ! Even USA and UK have agreed that in future the potency of a nation will be its population. Barack Obama has mentioned it in his speeches a couple of times. Yea football , tennis , rugby , field hockey are played by more nations but cricket is still better than most games. And fyi , not just test playing 10 nations , there are associate nations and affiliate nations as well. Almost all the popular nations have cricket .
Slaves are always slave. That is why slave love cricket. Tennis queen Maria Sharapova is from Russia the country which rule the entire world. They don't waste their precious time in this useless game. So they don't recognise any cricketer. Sachin got Bharat Ratan, but the real award should go to Major Dhanchand. As hockey is our national game it is magicain Dhanchand who is real Bharat Ratna. Talking about sachin he has many record but he cannot beat, Ricky Pointing, Adms Gilchrist, Brain Lara, even he has no comparision with Kiran More who played for his country and not for records. So we don't have any reason to get astonish who is Sachin?

Agreed. Those Indians who are upset with Maria Sharapova are like kuyen ke mendhak. The world outside India is very large and Cricket is not very important.

A player is measured by him being a yardstick . all those Lara , pointing , Gilly were always invariably compared To Sachin. You know why right ?
By the way everyone will remember tiger woods , federer , Schumacher even though they had their nemesis . Bcos in general , overall , relatively these players along with Sachin were best in business
There are 9 major cricket playing countries.Corruption one of the major football leagues Italy had set an example.Plus its pure arrogance to say i dont know him/her.I just know few white sportsmen.
