why only sachin... why did everyone of 11 players fail in all 21 matches...
and by the way, i did do something on cricinfo as u suggested...
tendulkar played 36 finals (out of a career of 384 matches until now) till now at an average of 47.96 (career average 44.05) with 4 hundreds and 9 fifties as well as 17 wickets.
ponting played 38 finals ( out of just 280) at an average of 41.93 (less than career average of 43.03) with 2 hundreds and 7 fifties
gilchrist 31 finals ( out of 268) at average of 39.79 ( career 36.00) with 3 tons and 5 fifties.
lara a9 (of 299) with an average of 28.16 (career 40.48) with 1 ton and 2 fifties.
grow up guys... tendulkar gives the most of all players everytime... or atleast till a couple of years back... the reason why he is unable to win matches is because he plays with 10 other fools and plays for a nation of 1 billion people who derive more pleasure in flaking their heroes.
agreed...sachin had not played such a good knock as gilchrists of late and may never play again... but i will tell you of one that is probably the best ODI innings in history...
the 142 at sharjah against australia...
that innings was such beauty... just for the way sachin batted... pure class... not power like a gilchrist, hayden or dhoni...
forget the man of matches, man of series... that was the only time in history of ODI that an award of 20,000 pounds was announced even before sachin was out for him providing the best entertainment in the history of the game...
