I would say Tendulkar is the one responsible for todays loss. He was looking frustration after reaching 50, require rate was less than 4 per over, so many wickets was in hand why was he giving up, he can as well stay some more time.

I seriously think where the 6th down batsman is of the level of Harbhajan, that team is in very serious trouble any day. Think what would happen if India starts 50/4.

I totally agree with Ojha. Tendulkar and Ganguly were desperate to get boundaries at the 20th over mark. They could have sensibily batted for another 10 overs just rotating the strike and gone for the kill after that.
Tendulkar and Ganguly are ofcourse great players but they showed their immaturity while chasing. They should have maintained their cool. Their departure raised panic in the entire team.

I would say Dinesh Karthik and Dhoni are responsible not Tendulkar...
Tendulkar has done his job. isit he?
Dhoni and karthik would have taken responsibility and go though the target accouding to paln. This is what they failed to do. How can tendulkar is responsible??

Tumhare jaise logo ko to poori team me sirf sachin hi dikhta hai kya be? sachin ne to fir bhi 54 banaye, ganguly 62 aur dhoni 48.... baaki sab kya JHAK maar rahe the? I think team me 11 players hote hain, tumhe baaki nahi dikhte kya? Ab sachin akele bana leta kya 258? Are grow up yaar, sachin k alawa baaki bhi hai team me jo hamesha humari naiyya duba dete hain, why blame sachin always.... Hadd hai yaar...
