Interesting posts by 'critics' who are self-styled experts of the game. Someone even went to extent of passionately saying Sachin is 'useless', he only plays for 'records', one only remembers some of his 'memorable' innings since they are far a few.....
OK guys, point taken!! Sachin is and 'old fellow' now, he is just made the team due to his 'past records', he will 'bomb' in this tournament.
Ok ok, all said and done, tell me how many batsmen have this kind of record (if you want to talk about records)??!! Also, records are there in every sport; if you look at basketball, people still remember the rate of shooting of Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, etc. Look at Football (soccer if you please), then Pele's goal scoring totals are still recorded, then after a WC we have awards like 'golden boot' etc. Golf, people still have records like most PG tournaments won, how many hole-in-ones. Baseball, people still follow records like max home runs etc.
So whats wrong with making world class records in cricket. And we should be proud of our own son-of-the-soil who has beaten all records that are to be made.
