Jagbir my good man ! I'm afraid you've put your foot in your mouth , inspite of such a wonderfully compiled table !
Since you're so good with stats, pray tell us that of the 30 victories just HOW MANY were in CRITICAL GAMES? Finals, must win games etc...the answer : ALMOST NONE, IF ANY AT ALL!
Here's a quick FYI : we played 20-odd finals on the trot & lost all of them...Sacin played all of them - hmm, now wouldn't you want your "best batsman in the world" to do it for you when it really matters ? Like the Dravids, Pontings, Waughs, Richards, etc always do...fact remains that withe exception of Sharjah '98 Sachin HAS NEVER done it for us when we need him to. And as a comparison, think back to all the important victories that India has had in the past 7-8 years : you'll see that a certain Mr. Rahul Dravid has always showed up in those games ! Ah, and how we keep reaping accolades on Sachin, simply a passenger since the WC 03...
