Overrated Paper Tiger....see the results
by R K on Apr 05, 2007 03:37 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Sachin''s record speaks for itself :
Sachin Tendulkar since Sept 2005 against Australia and SA in one day matches
Innings : 11
Runs : 155
Average : 14.09
100s/50s : 0/1

No other team in the world would pick him on the above performance but for India he is "Master Blaster". BTW what has be blasted recently ?

As far as Ganguly is concerned, he could not even match Tendulkar''s number....and WOW we have countrymen defending these two and giving excuses for them.

Sachin is a real burdeb to the team after 2003 world cup. He didn't show to the country that he is there in demanding situations. He should fell ashamed to get out cheaply by good bowlers. We all know how many times Mc.Grath has challenged tendulkar and he successfully picked him. Sachin clearly playing for money and riding on past history. Sachin, If you beleive you are a true servant to the nation, assess yourself what you did to the team over last 4 years. Please quit and give others a chance. over last 4 years you have scored 7 centuries against mediacore bowling and compare with ponting and hayden how those guys taken their team to victories. Ponting scored 19 centuries in this same 4 years. Dont look at sachin over all average. it will be always above 40's. Because he just need one century against waste attack, that too on a batting pitch

Sameer, you have targeted Sachin only.
If you consider last 20-25 matches and average,
is there anybody (new) who can replace Sachin.
Answer is no.
We are more frustrated on Sachin because we expect lot from him.
Why team breaks like soft brick after SAchin gets out.
Isn't the other players getting money and endorsement?

Uttam,

You mean to say, if you dont find a replacement to sachin when he is 60 you will still play him. What nonsense. Then we dont have an allrounder like Kapil Dev till now, shall we select Kapil too.

Why you counted only Australia and SA.
Why not West Indies, Pakistan, Srilanka ....

Sachin is still asset to the team.
Suggest who could be the replacement of Sachin
you found last few years from other 14 players
played in the game.
