Not a Match Winner! I can’t stop laughing when I hear that.
People who say that Sachin is not a Match Winner are those who just learnt this phrase recently "Not a Match Winner" and keeps on repeating this phrase to show others that they are Great Reviewer and Follower of Cricket. My dear friends take a look at Indian Cricket Team Statistics before Tendulkar came to the arena. He is the one who have won so many matches single handedly for your country.
Not a match winner - He struck back to back centuries against Aussies to push India to the finals in Sharjah, could you recall that now. He is the one who bowled India to victory in Hero Cup, remember. He was the one who was standing between Pakistan and Pakistan’s Victory in that Test Match when he was in so much back-pain. When every ball being faced was an agony, a torture. And when he fell, we all know how India could not get even 17 runs for those next 4-5 wickets.
He is not a match winner - Because even when he gave India such a good start so many times, 10 remaining players failed to deliver. Because everytime we Indians want him to score a century. Why? Is he not a human. Most of us would be working to earn a living, how many times did we deliver outstandingly in our profession till date, may be once or twice or say five times, ten times. And here we are asking him to give us an outstanding inning every time he goes to bat.
Advertisements - Why he should not act in advertisement. Why, give me a sane answer. If he is present in net practice, if he is present for every camp, if he abides to the requirement / instructions as per BCCI. then who the hell are we to govern his personal life. If your boss asks you not to look for any extra income by buying-selling propery, by investing in stocks, or by any other means then how you will feel.
He is earning so much by advertisemnt! Yes, he is but lot less than the corrupt politicians you and I elect every year.
Why not others - There were 10 other players in the team, why nobody is saying anything about them. There was Harbhajan Singh, who had destroyed Aussie batting line up once, what did he deliver in the World Cup. What about the flamboyant Yuvraj SIngh. What about Dhoni, the Spectacular Match Winner. What about WALL, Rahul Dravid, why the WALL crumbled. Even Saurav who was in such a great nick, could not save India from world cup exit.
Sachin should retire - Yes, Sachin should retire because unfortunately he is an Indian, because he has got Indian fans like us - all selfish and traitors. We only know how to praise a player in his glory days and then make him so miserable when he needs our support more than ever. If you do not agree than think about Major Dhyanchand, he had to sell his awards and prizes to pay for his medical bills and then died, not before when he became blind as well. If few of his fans could come forward and helped him at that time, he would not have died so horribly.
Sachin has given so much to his country, I would want him to be happy always and I would want him to move to some other country and play cricket for them, because we definitely do not deserve to be his FANS.
*Added Comment from Comments Section -
*Is he the only one to be blamed? Team does have 10 other players as well. As for Lara and Ponting they are one of the best right now. But when they fails and they do at times, Sarvan, Chanderpaul, Hayden, Gilchist, Symonds rise to the occasion. Is n’t it. Then why in the world-cup, none of our batsman clicked. Rahul, Saurav, Yuvraj Dhoni - what happened to all of them. I agree with critics on most of the points they put across. But at the same time I would say, if Sachin should retire then he should not be the only one to retire, there are 10 other players from the team who did not rise to the occasion. If he is not a Match Winner then neither of the other players are and they should be held responsible as well.
