dear rajesh, pls understand those are all one off innings... where is the consistency... why didnt he rip australian bowlers in the final of 2003... all u can remember is select few innings of sachin.. thats all.. infact u cant point out any such innings of ponting or lara or hussey.. coz they are so damn consistent and so used to winning matches for the team that no particular innings would have stood out.. he must have used this good form in WI and SL series and retired gracefully when he is on high.. like warne, mcgrath, langer
