RE:Why expect too much from India
by on Apr 30, 2007 12:28 AM

What is achievement ? Scoring 100 in every match? Why Sachin is the only person seen in most ads and earned more money than any one else. Its just because of his skill and just because he is the number one in business. Is there any player in India now who can tear the offside field like what Sachin did when he is young? Is there any one in the youngsters who can ply the ball as straight as Sachin and make it reach the boundary with in a split second. Is there any one in the present youngsters who can make the world best leg spinnner sleepless before the match. Is there any player in the contemperery cricket who can make the world best fast bowler leave the field in middle of a over. It happened only with Sachin and that is for what he is payed for. He is not expected to provide entertainment but he provided unexpected entertainment all through the years . There were days when team India just collapsed after Sachin is out. Also Pakistan team made open comments like get Sachin out and India is out. Dont forget he scored again in the recent series with WI. He is definitely not the same player as he is before but still his presence in the team will increse the strength before the match.
