Number of times a player scored 50 Name/Matches/MOM/Success Sachin 395 124 &nb sp; 31.4% Jayasuriya 398 89&n bsp; 22.4% Saurav 302 9 3 30.8% Lara 299 82 27.4% Ponting 280 &n bsp;85 30.4% V. Richards 187 56 29.9 % Dravid 327 93 2 8.4% Gilchrist 268 65 & nbsp;24.3%
Whichever way you look at it... Sachin has been most consistent and probability of his contribution is highest compared to his peers... the ratio of MOM and MOS will clearly tell how he has been the most succesful in making India win....
Now go and look at being the losing side... he figures most in the list... check all this in cricinfo.... in short he was one man army!
factor the huge people expectation and criticism he has to go though... and you will realise everyone else would have died of cardiac arrest... i do not remember anyday when Saurav or Dravid were expected to perform as he was!!!

You may be aware that making runs is not considered as success. A person of Sachin's calible is expected to perform in the need of the hour. Sachin never performed under pressure. If you insist I may admit on couple of occasions he would have performed but not more than that. It is not that I am against Sachin or any individual. Dravid, Laxman, Yuvraj and Kaif have proven record of performing under immense pressure.

Sameer,
Dont be a statistical goose... Tell me only one answer... How many World Cups did Sachin win for INDIA???? - ??????
Now tell me where is your statistics... i will tell you the other side of it.
Jayasuriya - Has won a world cup for his country Ponting and Gilchrist - has won more than 1 for their countries Richards - has won more than 1 world cup for their countries
"NOW THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED AS A MATCH-WINNER"
IT WOULD BE BETTER TO STOP ANY MORE OF TENDULKAR'S PRAISE... WE WILL JUST ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS A GOOD BATSMAN. THATS IT.

Do you know the record og England captain Naseer Hussain on his 72nd match, recorded his maiden ODI hundred of his career. He became one of the 26 players to record first ODI ton after playing 50 or more matches. Stop thinking/scracthing on our paper tigers. No logic that past record holder should be the captain.
