what is so great? what did he do for the country? all other games lost its value. is cricket an individual's game? or a team game? who played the worst part for spoiling our own national game -- hockey? and football? do you mean to say that one sachin can make the whole team for hockey or football? please stop pampering only cricketers.. what is spent on other games? do compare and report. who is suresh raina to speak of sachin? why he does not comment on other sports? a true sportsman should not always cling to his leader only. show sportsmanship and save the country's honour. spend that much amount of money on otehr sports and see the difference. learn a lesson or two from the current olympics where china is scoring in all areas. spread your earnings to develop other sports raina and then see how they fare. start your coaching classes for other sports / games by coaching small children (like china does) and see after a couple of olympics where we move to. after that you can make such comments about one individual, because your mind will change then, when the truth comes out. sudhadas

hi sudha i absolutely agree with you....look at great britain,south korea,north korea and japans standing at the olympics.India should ban this game of cricket...only 9 fully fledged members in the world and that too india find it very difficult to win against a small country like sri lanka.What about P.T.Usha,Jyotirmoyee sikdar...do yu think they are less than sachin....sachin got the money attraction and funding everything...If P.T.usha or Jyitirmoyee sikdar and others have got proper funding then the story would have been different today...we indians are satisfied with this cheap and boring game of cricket only as we tend to get easily satisfied with anything....in fact i consider these olympic players especially the sprinters and boxers to be more talented than sachin because most of them come from a low mediocre class family and they fight their way through the indian politics in game and finally they perform against the best in the world..in olympics even t qualify for the next round you need to be special more special than sachin.....i hope the indian sports authority and IOA would give more importance to the players who have represented in the olympic this year for our country more than that of some bunch of 11 idiotic cricket players..

Sachin is a great player and will remain great forever. Atleast cricket is the game in which we can say proudly that India is ahead of many countries, otherwise in all other games we are far far behind from others. If hockey is not doing well, does it mean that we should blame cricket? It seems like a joke. We should try to improve hockey not just blame other games which is doing well. I don't see any connection between sachin's greatness and hockey or football's poor performance. Sachin is a role modal and he inspires cricketers around the world. Today people around the world know and respect sachin. it is a proud for India. Sachin has always been blamed and criticized for his popularity. If he is loved, is it his fault? Someone or other always target him for not making centuries, making India loose the game etc. Players from other countries,not only cricketers but from other games respect sachin but we Indians always criticize him.This just proves the correctness of the proverb that says "Ghar ki murgi dal barabar"
