He is always there when u need him. Bowling offspin, legspin and more smashing the pulp off the opposition with his unparalleled batting. Have u ever thought what would indian cricket be without this little master??
This is the quote I read frm ’’THE HINDU’’.(after his 143 against ausies).I was 15 then and still remember it. It took only few moments for me to by heart that. And at tht time I didnt even know the exact meaning of vijay lokapally(writter).That was the sachin craze ppl had at that time.
I(WE) have always been his fan and it really mourns me when I read the criticism abt him.Before conversing about the issue let me post some statistical datas abt him which I gathered frm wisden’s official site( http://www.cricinfo.com)
Sachin has played 44 matches against Australia with a whooping average of 49.02. Further out of this 44 matches INDIA have won 15 matches.. and his contribution is with an aggregate of 75.33(6 centuries 3 fifties).What does tht mean??? It means tht out of the 15 matches India have one.. he had contributed handsomely in 9 (6 centuries and 3 fifties).Again tht means 60% frm sachin’s side and rest 40% frm the other 10.
Now again. Rahul Dravids average against Aussies is 29 and Ganguly’s is ........ 22..
I dont want to model this review into a statistical dictionary but still I have few more digits to show.
Against Pakistan Sachin’s average is 38.66 and when india wins( tht is 21 out of 51) his average is 52.
I have few more digits to type.. but wait.. let it b thre..i am not doin it..Let me write something what I feel.
What I am sure abt is tht Sachin Tendulkar is a Human Being..and more certain that few ppl fail to understand this.
If u expect sachin to score 20 runs/over in every match ..sorry BOSS, I don’t think even Don Braman can do that. Sachin is called a genius not bcoz of his aggressive innings(in that case Afridi and virender Sehwag shud rule the list).. he is called so bcoz of the manner in which he applies himself..
He is hardworking, immensely talented and still simple and down to earth.
His one day average is 45(next to michael bevan) and test average is 57 (ofcourse not 99.94 which I believe is unattainable 4 anyone after Don)
If u start to count players with an average of 50..i say.. u will not count more thn 20.(Even steve waugh is in the early 50s).
Yes fact that India is not leading inspite of the presence of a worldclass player.But as I told its a team game. Sachin scored 138 against pakistan but still coudnt make it!!!
oh ya I know wat u gona say..’’when he pulled his country to the dorstep.. he should have completed the match’’..But let me ask u a question...was it the first time you are asking the same question? Means why always a scenario appears whre only sachin is left in the crease and he has to shoulder the responsibilty.Its not once, its not twice ..neither its trice..its for plenty.
I will explain it for u...only if he gets some support frm other end.. it becomes feasible 4 him.Not only 4 him.. same is the case 4 Ricky Ponting , 4 Brian Lara, 4 Inzamam and 4 even Don Bradman.
A single handed victory is something we can never see.. only read frm newspaper.Just imagine y WestIndies is not performin inspit of Brian Lara??? Why pakistan not winnin inspite of having Inzamam..
Sir.. its very easy.. no body can win matches alone..we need a few for tht..ONE has to lead the way and rest have to show path.But whn thre is nobody to show light.. its darkness .and nobody can do anythin in Dim light.
NEVER FORGET HOW SACHIN RAISED THE SPIRITS OF THE COUNTRY MEN AND CONFIDENCE OF HIS TEAMMATES WITH HIS BATTING IN 2003 WORD CUP.
If u don remember tht , then u r not appropriate to speak abt cricket.
Recently India started to win..coz we got some good players supporting him.Take the WC match against pakistan.Sachin scored 97 and got out whn the team was 90 odd runs away frm the victory.Still we win...why? coz we had other players to finish the job(which I strongly believe we didnt have in the Azhar and Jadeja era)
There are lots of things commin into my mind and my fingers r gettin tempted to type..but let me take a break... I don’t want to make it a 300 page essay.
And for me sachin is a super hero, he is a power house, a role model for many. He is a gem which occurs once in 1000 years.Even if he fail for the next few matches I know he will bounce back...and I am sure he will
