By the way, why is Kumble going out of his mind criticizing the batters for their non-show ? What did he do ? on a wicket, where all spinners were taking wickets, why did he fail ?
are you all making sense? He was highest scorer in last test series India played in Aus, he won the one day series,, look at his last years record .. you must be watching some other sport.
He is still highest ranked Indian batsman,, one series low scores,, all Sachin haters come on streets .. get a life

man, this is sports.. every player has bad game ... when you talk current time, atleast talk current year. In that case India will have different team every series. How come all you people don't use your logical brains?

Yeah right,, thats why there is only one bradman in world. otherwise every batsman would have a average of 99.99. The problem with you guys is, you see and cry every time Sachin fails, when he plays you guys have your tail between your legs, which incidently most of the time.

Sachin don't have winning attitute. It can be seen from his game that he is playing for the sake of playing. He must see the game of Lara, Gilkrist and try to learn from them
no one can speak about Sachin, the laurels he bought to India is uncomparable to any one in this world of Cricket.If anybody wants to become a Cricketer , they will always the feets of Sachin, his batting style and the range of shots he possess is uncomparable and even the all time great Don Bradman should bow his head in front of this little master, the whole World knows that he is the greatest ever cricketer the world has produced.The main reason for these things are : 100% dedication and commitment to the sport, very hardworking and a talented person.. If you see his early ages of cricket its really stunning .... a guys who gets up 3am in the morning and practices cricket..he has given his life to cricket and he has earned name and fame by means of cricket.. Sachin will remain as a cricketing idol to many upcoming cricketers and the reason why the Indians are watching cricket is Sachin plays the game.. when you Sachin playing good ininings.. its gives you immense Joy in watching Cricket.Sachin is a great inspiration for lot of non cricketers too.. thats the fame everyone should aim in his/her respective fields..wheather its Science and Technology or any other field......still Cricket is a craze game in India bcoz of Sachin.. if he hangs up his boots and if India loses for 3 or 4 series in a row .. then the charm of watching Cricket in India will slowly fade ... and at the same time other people will show up in other sports too... thats an advantage for India.. and a big b

So was the greatness of Mr. Kapil Dev or Mr. Gavaskar. let us call them back to play for India again. surprised? why so? just take it for granted nothing remains for ever. there was a time when these five players dominated cricket but now they are running for shelter

Dear, Sachin has not only earned name and fame but also lots of money...Nobody argues his past performance... What people are critising is his disappearing form and abilities... Would you ever imagine the Great palying for the nation without match fee?... We must stop worshiping the heros beyond a limit... Otherwise Sachin will be in the team till his last day on this planet...

Sachin is a master manipulator of pitches. Cricket is a game of gentlemen but not only the players but also the administrators. whereas administrators are not gentlemen they work for people like sachin. Cricket itsefl is dying because of them. In street cricket no bolwer will play in pitches crated by administratator now make for cricket. theyre they have some say in the making of pitches

Now a days sachin is restriction for new younstars who are constantly giving best performance it is the time for sachin to retire respectfully.
We are lucky that he played for India. But we should be so unlucky that he keeps on playing for India till he lives. There has to be that commonsense in a person when to retire gracefully. A true legend never has a kick mark on the back side of his pants !

i dont think that he ever did that,the problem with ours seniors is that they dont want to retire and at the same time they want to represent their country,and indian cricket history shows that no player retired gracefully on the ground but they have retired off the field calling media,this people should learn from the persons like steve waugh,gilchrist,they were great players and at the same time they knew that there time had came and they have retired gracefully not unlike our indian cricketers where there legs have to be pulled up in order to make them realise that they are no longer fit enough to represent there country,jut for few buck they are bringing india down under with there horrifying performances.

Mr Challenge what you achieved in your life 'single handedly' that you are pointing fingers at people of the stature like sachin.
We don't require ur expert judgement to figure out who's the best.
When sehwag was not performing well for a whole year people like you wanted him out. Now when he came good in one of the innings u will start believing in him.
RE:challenge to sachin fans.
by HI on Aug 12, 2008 05:52 PM Permalink
so no match winning innings. FYI sehwag has many like that including match winning triple at multan.
All you Sachin critics should please awaken and realsise that they are millions of issues other than picking on Sachin everytime. We As Indians Celebrate if we win and then insult the same people when they lose. Sachin for a simple Stat was the main reason why India won the One day series In Australia..You dont players like him in centuries forget decades. Please before commetning on a Great Player like Sachin wake up and dont lie to yourself that everytime you awake you wish Sachin plays well or atleast when he comes on the field to bat hope that he saves India or performs. so please. Pick on players like Anil Kumble who dint manage no scores this series, or may be dravid who has not been scoring for a long time now or may be Saurav Ganguly. Guys learn to Appreciate not to Insult..!!
"Without him you would have missed out on the best batting performances ever seen"

Great player cannot become great by virtue of personal records, Greatness can be proved only if player won for team
Many players arguable of better capability than sachin has played the game(Sir Don, Viv Richards, Gary Sobers etc.) but none got half the recognition or 1/10 the money that sachin has got.Its he who is lucky to be born in a cricket crazy country like India!!!

Mr. Pandya, Don Bradman himself has appraised sachin of his feats.
It is not Sachin's fault if there was no Coke or pepsi to sponsor don bradman or viv richards.
25 yrs back your dad earned half the salary u might be earning today; Does it mean u r not good enough?
There is no comparison, everyone occupies a different space in the history.

If at all we hav such an aggressive youth players today its just becoz of sachin!!Sachin inspired players like sehwag to bat.. which just produced batsmen one after the other who were aggresive and wanted to be match winners. Leaders dont create a hype abt themselves .. they lead the way and inspire. Thats Sachin for you.

You've got to be a lucky person to have a computer keyboard and a mouse to comment on this article. Sachin atleast had to some hardwork to get to this stage.
Yes dear sachin we extremely love you. We have got a wonderful player in our country. You are the best. People should not criticize see the last 4 finals we won CB series only due to sachin the other series sachin was not there we lost. He is the only player who can reply the teams like Australia.

if not sachin some one else would have won. sehwag was not played, he would have won. if sachin is great let him show his class in champions trophy. we'll see,
