Should sachin be sacked as like dada???????

[rajas700]

Should sachin be sacked as like dada???????He get's a hundred by playing 15 matches and again he scores 10,15,5 runs in follwoing matches so Should sachin be sacked as like dada???????

[Tushar.bar]

that's not cricket forum! repoted!

[Sourabh]

No. Dada was sacked because there were better players than him who could take his batting spot. As with Sachin's case, I dont find any reason why he should be sacked. Even if you wanna sack him, whom would you give his place to in the ODI? Gautam Gambhir? He was picked in the Test Series and didnt even get a game. So why mess, Sachin should play and open throughtout the series. He always has performed. Even if he fails 15 times, the one time he plays he would make you win. Even if he doesnt, I would still have him in the team simply because if you remove Sachin from the team, The batting order appears hollow to me.

[Biplav]

well: cud u actually remove sachin????
its easy to say but we all are forgetin its The Sachin
but ya its been a long time wen sachin played a big role in India`s victory.

[mohit]

Sachin and sacked ??? People will come on the streets and kick the hell out of BCCI .. he is the god man .. doesnt matter if he doesnt perform but having him is enough to scare the mightiest of teams and to boost india's confidence.

[__Virus__]

No.

[Chirag]

Sachin and sacked ??? People will come on the streets and kick the hell out of BCCI .. he is the god man .. doesnt matter if he doesnt perform but having him is enough to scare the mightiest of teams and to boost india's confidence.

Totally Agreed. Sachin rocks(According to me).But I really hate cricket.

[mehulved]

Do remember when sachin was fined for ball tempering? People were out on streets then. If he's sacked there might be riots in Mumbai.

[rajas700]

Then we can win a match once in a 15 match???I am not against sachin but such question gose on media's ,magazine and daily's.

[VD17]

Hell i couldnt see sachin in a 'god'-like role in cricket since ages... all he has there is a fat paycheck and a hell lot of endorsements... if these BCCI whiners can sack the most successful captain in india's cricketing history, why not dump this one-time wonder too?

[shwetanshu]

i also agree.. saurav's exclusion only saw kolkata on streets, sachin's will will start danga phasad in india

[Netjunkie]

@rajas700

Think about it in your personal opinion, dont we all know why media focusses on certain insignificant issues ??

One match winning innings from him at this stage will come as a slap in the face for all his critics.

I personally feel he still has a lot of cricket left in him.

[sudipto]

well Sachin got another 100, 39th.

[kato]

See even though he got out he scored a century and u cant blame a single guy if team fails remember its a team if they loose its everyones not a single guy who just had a bad day(not talking about players having bad years - i guess u know who i m talking about :wink: )

[shwetanshu]

kahaan hain sachin ke critics.... saamne aao

[ENGLISH VER] Where are Sachion's critics.... now talk

[mail2and]

Sachin can't be sacked becuase:

1) He has 14k runs in ODI cricket. Some of the "greats" of the game haven't got those many runs in both forms combined. Two times over.

2) He provides psychological support to the team. His presence in the team is enough for the other ppl to feel secure.

3) He has one of the best cricketing brains in the world. He provides great support to the captain of the team.

4) He is a wonderful fielder and a great runner between the wickets. Ganguly can't field for toffee.

5) Well his average has been 45 since 2002 and we say he is in "bad" form. People like Younis Khan don't even average that in ODIs and we say they are in sublime form.

6) Having played a bit of cricket myself, I can tell you that match practice is prime. Sachin needs to play lots and lots of Ranji Trophy cricket to get back the magic touch. I'm sure he'll do that when the new season begins. Even local club cricket will help. Kanga Leagure, for example, is the perfect tournament to test your technique and tighten your defence.

[shwetanshu]

hey andy i love ur 4 the point... anywayz i had same two points which i wrote in my blog and was about to write em here but u beat me to it.

Ganguly can neither field or run between the wickets which costs the team many runs

[sudipto]

just add to the list:
7.he can bowl a tricky spell also.

[unvisible]

Sachin did it again

one more century on flat wickets

wow

i can also play on flat wickets guyz and if given chance to open the innings ,i will make more hundreds than him

[drgrudge]

He provides psychological support to the team. His presence in the team is enough for the other ppl to feel secure.
Hmm.. you guys talk abt the psychological support? Why dont you have a psychologist in the playing 11 instead of Sachin? Any one who is selected in the 11 should justify his selection or should not be selected.

He is a wonderful fielder and a great runner between the wickets. Ganguly can't field for toffee.
Sachin is a average fielder *IMO*. He has a good arm and his throw is good.
Agreed Ganguly doesnt feild good, his running sucks, etc.. but compare him with Dravid, Laxman, Kumble, Sehwag, then perhaps he is not worlds apart from the other members of the Indian Cricket Team.

Well his average has been 45 since 2002 and we say he is in "bad" form. People like Younis Khan don't even average that in ODIs and we say they are in sublime form.
How much matches has Sachin won for India and How much did Younis did for Pakistan? And yeah you need to complete the job, not just score 198265074657 runs and still not good enough to win.

I am saying Sachin is not good. If he continues to play good, there is no reason why anyone should take abt sacking him :d

[sudipto]

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
ok fine! go and play the game, we all shall watch you playing
but wait a minute, where is your name in team india?? :?: i cant find. :lol:

[__Virus__]

No doubt should be in anyones mind to sack sachin :D its a matter of time ( once again ) that he is out of form and hopfully plays well against pakis.

Edit1: Dint know sachin scoring 100 :D, theres a come back.

Edit2: They blasting us black n blue :?

Edit3: while I was typing but was caught :D

[unvisible]

I already know that sachin' century will be a curse to india. :D

[drgrudge]

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
ok fine! go and play the game, we all shall watch you playing

Well, because of ppl like me watch cricket, the BCCI babus earn $$. The players earn 50lpa + match fee + endorsements.

So I don't stand any lame excuses (like: "I am scared to face a bowler bowling at 100.2 Miles per hour" , " I am playing internation cricket for 2 decades", "Umpires gave a cr@p decision", etc..), if you are selected then perform well or pave way or others.

[soham]

I think whoever is kicked out of the team should be given a honourable exit. Sourav was not even allowed a chance. He was dropped for the second test when he didnt get to face a single ball in the first one. He was picked up in the third test with a mountain load of pressure on him. Still he able to score some decent runs, much better than sachin who fell to the ground after
being bowled trying to convince the people that it was a low bounce ball(when it wasn't really so). BCCI is nothing but a heap of
dung. BCCI s**ks.

[jay4u]

Sachin Tendulkar return back to form by a fantastic century to an inning which showed him doing the job of the mentor and to see india marching toward a very good total....

It is disspointed to see that india lose the match by D/L rules... instead i would like to see a nail biting finish... certainly the 5 specialist bowlers did not do the job well enough..... and let the side chase comfortably....

But a lot happen else where....

1. Sachin dismisal is under suspicion.. although it looked 50-50 case... he showed disspointment

2. Pathan blasted the pak bowlers.... and was target of a bolt thrown towards him....

3. Afridi showed fury... and was out pretty cheaply... bringing the crowd to its feet.... with rage

4. Inzi did the most unthinkable... only third batsmen to get out in such a fashion...... but to me the moment of the day was Inzi's statement

"Yaar mujhe yeh rule nahi samaj aati... kabhi mein ball chodne ke liye out ho jata hoon to aaj mein ball pakadne ke liye out ho gaya.... mujhe nahi samaj aati yeh rules... mujhe nahi aati....."

My interpretation 2 minutes before the presentatin ceremony : " Are rameez yaar, kya problem mein phas gaya.... mein to aaj ekdum maarne ke mood mein tha.... insha-allah aaj toh bas mujhe ball ko boundary par karna tha.... kaun dekhta hain bowl fielder ke hath mein hain ya bowler ke..... ab pheka toh balla laga diya..... phir sale chote chote bacchhe ki tarah aa gaye... mujhe gher ke... mein toh gulli danda samajke criket khelta hoon...... aur yeh chale mujhe rules sikhane...ab tum hi bolo.... kya main yeh bolu duniya ko.... waise hi mein pareshan hoon... junta bhadak uthi hain... agar jeeta nahi toh to bachenge nahi.... khair yeh sab chodo... wais ebhi mera presentation koi nahi sunta hain..... mein thodi bol dunga rules ke bare mein ... tum haste jana...."

Sorry about my partial views, i do not meant to offend anyone... please take it lightly...

With series totally heated up... it can only get going better....

Sachin is a good batsman but not a great batsman ,He cannot win matches for India in difficult conditions.He can make hell lot of centuries on flat wickets and thats his advantage.He doesnt like challenges.

Brian Lara Rocks any time.One of the greatest.He can single handedly win win a match for WI agaisnt teams like AUS.

[shashanktyagi1]

Should sachin be sacked as like dada???????He get's a hundred by playing 15 matches and again he scores 10,15,5 runs in follwoing matches so Should sachin be sacked as like dada???????
well i suppose even ganguly should not have been sacked. greg chap will ruin the tem. he is bent upon introducing kartik and agarkar to replace harbhajan and zahir khan. well both have been trying to get in the team since ten years and havent been able to find place. no captain should be sacked so disgracefully. and about sachin, forget about sacking him. greg and dravid wont be able to live in india if sachin is sacked!!

[mehulved]

Well about agarkar. He is a good bowler. He has struggled to get into the team because of his fitness. Which has now changed. I find him quite capable of staying in the Indian team.

[__Virus__]

I already know that sachin' century will be a curse to india. :D

he doesnt perform and threads like this starts. He plays and messages like this pops up :D

THEN WHY ALL PEOPLE BLAME DADA????HUM????????????????

okie groups i understand ur critism... and hence i wrote the thread with a note of apology....... and asked to take it lightly....

all i meant was that... a Cricket captain is telling at the presenatation ceremony that he does not unerstand the rules how he can get out... after playing cricket for 10-12 years... i mean that is absolutely crap..... Your team looks at you to lead a s a captain and you pass silly comments... My interpretation was hat must be said before rameez and inzi just prior to presentation ceremony...

For those who dont get what i said... watch the presentation ceremony on the match and check inzi's comments....

A phrase comes to my mind :

When the greatest player
Comes to sign against your name,
He does not sees whether you los or won
But how you played the game.....

And if you say winning is everything, then dear blame the famous personality who wrote this phrase.... and you can because all you have to do is open your mouth and speak......

And what do you expect from sachin... 10 dulkar... He tries his best... if the team loses why blame on him..... It is not his problem that india lost... he had done what he could.....

Take the recent pak ODI... he hit a century..... and then india posted 329... our bowler sucked... let the opposition easy runs... and we lost.... And the out come "Sachin scores in vain" ... ya ... my foot....

[shwetanshu]

hey i just saw newz on star, it said some tickets in peshawar had India Flag printed upside down.... Sachin noticed it and told team maager who then told PCB who apologized. Man they have don this b4.... i dont remember clealry but an airplane came to india from pak, it also had Indian Flag hoisted upside down... that time also they said sorry... this is highly *****

That century is completely waste and anyone can score centuries on that type of flat wicket.
SO i dont care about it.But as i said he is a good batsman but not a great batsman.If he wants to prove himself to be a great batsman then he must learn to perform under pressure and win matches for India.
Anyway we are not interested in your foolish posts.

See the poll

With Sachin - 14
Against sachin - 13 :twisted:

A player like sachin has got only 50% support .Ok now u just understand the public ok.

[Third Eye]

dravid rules

[gaurav_indian]

If Sachin plays like Ganguly in the next few series then why not.Rules are same for every player and remember that Ganguly is not a "junior khiladi" he also has good record in ODI's.If Steve Waugh can be dropped and sacked,Matthew Hayden can be dropped after just one bad series then y not Sachin.Players are not bigger than Country and Sports.

[the deconstructionist]

Do not compare sachin to others. No comparison between Sun and Torch.

[gaurav_indian]

Do not compare sachin to others. No comparison between Sun and Torch.
Remember that torches work when sun is not there.

[the deconstructionist]

Compare the luminosity of an ordinary torch and the Sun. Even if sun shines for a day it is a Pleasure.

[~Phenom~]

Sachin reign is over.
Its Time to dethrone the king.

[royal]

Since Sachin enjoys a God like status in India, everybody is afraid to drop him even though he has not won a match for India single handedly :mad: ... in this respect Brian Lara rocks :cool:

I am not supporting dada but rules should be same for everyone :evil:

Sachin continues to get a chance until he performs :D

[Satissh S]

iam gonna move all those who say 'sachin is over' to /dev/null
you know what?? iam not against dada as i love his play, but sachin is for from over so is dada, its just that sachin has become limited in his strokeplay these days due to injuries, (ex: the pull shot missing).

I saw footages of sachins innings agaginst aussies in sharja was mesmerising and anything short was pulled away or hooked. He almost dictated terms using his pull shots.

Today he defends the balls rising on him, those days he used to hook and pull them, thats primarily the difference of the sachin of old and today.

Thats the only way the opposition seems to get him these days. Sachin will be back. I heard he is playing/practising pull shots these days in the nets also in the lashings games he played a couple of those.

Bad days are over for sachin and he will be back.

[go4saket]

I guess he should be for some time atleast... After that give him a chance again and let him prove himself. There are many good playes waiting for their turn and one cannot keep a player who is absolutely out of form just because he is God in Cricket. No doubt he is the best, but at the present stage, he is not good...

[ECE0105]

Sachin Plays for himself.... Not for the Team.....

Wen we have people like Dhoni, Rahul, Sehwag, Laxman... Who can play well I really do not see any reason why Sachin Shud not be dropped......

Get over the Hysteria... He's played for more than I can remember.....

[vandit]

if we play against ausies drop sachin and take VVS lakshman.....:-D.....

against others drop lakshman and take sachin....hahahaha

[wizrulz]

Sachins so called critics always criticise him for

1=> Selfish
2=> Scoring against weaker oppositions
3=> Failing in pressure situations


NOW REPLY TO ALL THOSE

POINT 1=>

Well Records are meant to be broken and if Sachin is breaking them critics can't digest them..

One of the incidents people mention is regarding his 194 knock against pakistan..some said it was slow knock..agreed it was a slow knock by Sachin's stature,but if it is compared with one of the knock wid Dravid(the wall)...this will not look as bad it seems..

Tendulkar- 194 runs in multan with a strike rate of around 54

Dravid- 217 runs in oval with a strike rate of around 46


This is just one example to tell that Dravid's natural game is to hold the one end and let the others to dominate..in multan Sachin changed his gears and held one end and he let sehwag to dominate..played Rahul's role in that innings. Now this is called team game.. but people call it slow batting and selfish... Sachin always said Team's win is more important than personal landmark..He proved this statement in that very test by taking Moin Khan's wicket off the last ball of the 3rd day..That Ball was beauty!!Wasn't he happy at that moment??? Since Sachin is the most senior player of the team so he can't throw his wicket just to prove critics that he is still a master blaster...[he is still scoring at brisk rate in onedays]..People forget his fast scroing Centuries against world class bowling



169 [201 balls] against South Africa in 1997 at Capetown

92 [120 balls] against West Indies in 1997 at Bridgetown

155 [191 balls] against Australia in 1998 at Chennai

79 [ 85 balls] against Australia in 1998 at Kolkata

100 in 123 balls against NewZealand in 1999 at Wellington[he scored 113 runs in that inning]

155 [183 balls] against South Africa in 2001 in Bloemfontein



There are many other breath taking innings in tests from 10dulkar..can't mention each and every inning here..


But everyone please note this down..Sachin is the Only Batsman in Test Cricket who scored 3 Centuries wid a SIX

179 - 6 off Walsh[I remember it was a hook shot] against WestIndies in 1994 at Nagpur

124 - 6 off Min Patel[off spinner,straight down the ground] against England in 1996 at Birmingham

113 - 6 off Wiseman[off spinner,straight down the ground] against Newzealand in 1999 at Wellington



Some more intresting stats regarding Sachin ...Critics says he plays for his records and centuries..Now just look to this..

One Day

Centuries- 39[out of 39 centuries India Won 28 times and lost 10 times,1 century in a rain affected match]

10 centuries gone in Vain..

Half Centuries- 72



now here is that intresting part out of these 72 centuries Sachin got 28 scores of 80 and above in these 28 scores if we take out the innings in which he was not out [coz of over completed or target chased ] he was 5 times not out in such innings so now lets talk about remaining 23 innings

Can u believe he has 10 scores of 90's??? If these 90's were converted in 100's the stats looks likes this

Centuries-49 just one short of 50 ODI centuries... and look he missed another record for those who have so much fuss about playing for records..

getting out highest numbers of times in 90's in ODI's ..just coz he wanted to score for the team and not for the his personal records he got out 10times in 90's



Test

Centuries- 35[12 in which India won,15 in dead tests,8in lost tests] lone warrior in tests which India lost

Half Centuries- 41



Intresting Part

12 scores of 80+

6 scores of 90's convert them in 100s..he will pass 40 centuries in Test Cricket..sad for critics he played for team and thats why couldn't converted these 90's into 100's

ANSWER TO next ones

2.Scoring Against weaker Oppostions

This can happen in India only..

People remember 152 against Namibia and forgets 98 against Pakistan in WorldCup

People remember 248 against Bangladesh and forgets his 7 centuries against World Champions Australia[4 in their own den]..

Only one century against Bangladesh and share the honour of scoring test century against each test playing nation wid Dravid,Ponting and Garry Kristen...No one talk about other 3 batsman scored centuries against Bangladesh..then why the fuss for Sachin??





Test

Australia - 7 Centuries [4 in Australia],2 of them at the age of 18 in 1992

Bangladesh- 1 Century [Unfortunately his highest score in Test Cricket]

England- 6 Centuries [4 in England],

NewZealand- 3 Centuries [1 in NewZealand]

Pakistan- 2 Centuries [1 in Pakistan]

SouthAfrica- 3 Centuries [all three in South Africa]

Srilanka- 7 Centuries [4 in Srilanka]

WestIndies- 3 Centuries [ 1 in WestIndies]

Zimbabwe- 3 Centuries [ none in Zimbabwe]



90+

96 against Srilanka at Banglore in 1994

92 against West Indies at Bridgetown in 1997

97 against South Africa at Mumbai in 2000

90 against England at Banglore in 2001

92 against England at Nottingham in 2002

94 against Pakistan at Mohali in 2005





Intresting Part

He scored runs in all parts of world..There are three types of wickets u generally found in Cricket..Fast and bouncy Pitches like in Australia,South-Africa,NewZealand,WestIndies,Spin tracks in India,Srilanka,Pakistan,and seeming tracks like in England. Today people talk about Ricky Ponting...now check this out





Sachin's and Ponting's average at their own home soil is above 55 so nothing to discuss this here,but the real part starts now

Sachin's average in Australia 54.15 , 4 centuries

Ponting's average in India,12.28 , no centuries



Sachin's average in England 71.60 , 4 centuries

Ponting's average in England 42.63 , 3 centuries



I am taking records for these countries only bcoz.. rightnow,best fast bowlers are from Australia,best spinners are from India,Best Seamers from england[as there is no choice bcoz only england have such pitches]

Anyone can take easily tell who played gud cricket against best attack on all kind of pitches...





One Day

Australia - 7 Centuries + 1 score of 90's

Bangladesh- 0 Century

England- 1 Centuries + 1 score of 90's

Kenya- 4 Centuries

Namibia- 1 Century

NewZealand 4 Centuries

Pakistan- 5 Centuries + 4 scores of 90's

SouthAfrica- 3 Centuries + 1 score of 90's

Srilanka- 7 Centuries + 3 score of 90's

WestIndies- 2 Centuries

Zimbabwe- 5 Centuries



90+

90 against Australia in 1996 at Mumbai

91 against England in 1997 at Sharjah

95 against Pakistan in 1998 at Dhaka

93 against Pakistan in 2000 at Hobart

93 against SouthAfrica in 2000 at Nagpur

93 against Srilanka in 2000 at Dhaka

98 against Pakistan in 2003 at Centurion

97 against Srilanka in 2003 at Johannesburg

93 against Srilanka in 2005 at Nagpur

95 against Pakistan in 2006 at Lahore







Intresting Part

Only 5 Centuries against minnows like Kenya ,Namibia[non test playing nation]...and Kenya was the semi-finalist of the world cup'03 10 scores of above 90 against only test playing nations...now can anyone tell me how is he selfish?? 34 times he scored more than 80 and couldn't reached 100..If he played for his records..he could easily scored 100's all of those scores above 80's ...


3.Failing in pressure situation

More Intresting Part!!!!!!!!

Often said Sachin gets fail at crunch situation...Well 1st we must admit that when Sachin on the crease Win is sure...As soon Sachin gets out..the situation becomes crunchy!!! Sachin is out,now who will win match for us?? Dravid ?? or Sehwag?? or Yuvraj?? Or Ganguly?? No one sure who will win match for them...

So bcoz of this thing Teams targets Sachin as the most precious wicket...

Nasser Hussain introduced Negative lines for Sachin Tendulkar to stop the flow of runs when he is on wicket!!!

Local umpires also involved some times to help their team against Sachin Tendulkar,espeically Australians!

Some incidents striking in my mind...I think Sachin is the player who got out maximum numbers of times bcoz of bad or wrong decision by Umpires..I m producing those incidents only which I remember,there may be many other too





1. 92 - out of a NO ball from Frankline Rose against West Indies in 1997 at Bridgetown..Remember India lost the test just by 38 runs..U can just imagine how much that bad decision effected the result of the match!!!



2. 83 - Out of a NO ball again..[don't remember the bowler] last test in WestIndies in 1997.Draw Test.



3. 67- LBW off Crains..last test against NewZealand in 1999, was not out coz the ball pitched outside the legstump.Match Drawn



4. 61 - caught at forward shortleg,bowler Shane Warne.against Australia at Adelaide in 1999.. the ball touched the thigh pads and Umpire Darel Harper gave him out.. India were 107 for 4 when Ganguly joined Sachin and they put on 108 runs for the 5th wicket..



5. 0 - LBW bowler Macgrath..against Australia at Adelaide in 1999,same test, nothing more to say..Everyone remember that FOOLISH decision



6. 52 - LBW bowler Shane Warne,Umpire David Shepherd,against Australia at Melbourne in 1999, were chasing 356 as a target on the fourth day.



7. 45 - LBW bowler Macgrath,UmpireIan Robinson,against Australia at Sydney in 2000, the ball seemed to hit him too high and was going on leg stump, In that very over,Tendulkar had pulled a short one from Macgrath for two,and hooked the next two for boundaries,and a ball later punched the fast bowler back past him for the 3rd four of the over



8. 16 - caught behind off Waqar Younis,against Pakistan at Perth in 2000, it was must win situation for India to qualify in the final , scored 16 runs of 9 balls,hitted 3 fours in one over of Waqar Younis and 1 off Wasim Akram on the fastest pitch of the world,India were chasing 260 odd runs...



9. 0 - LBW bowler Gillespie,Umpire Bucknor,against Australia at Brisbane in 2003 funny thing is that the bowler not applead for the LBW... MR.Bucknor gave the decision of his own



10. 0 - caught behind off Lee,against Australia at Melbourne in 2003,ball touched the thigh pads and umpire given him out.





11. 54 - caught behind,Umpire Bucknor,against Pakistan at Kolkata in 2005, I think we all seen that decison, theball was not near to his pad,gloves,helmet,arm.. no where...



There may be so many other incident like this...Teams like Australia taking help from the umpires to stop Tendulkar... the 1999-2000 tour of Australia proves it..



And the last thing is that Sachin played 11 years [1989-2000] in the era where his own team mates involved in match fixing.. So despite of his brilliant knocks we failed to win the match just bcoz others not contirbuting..Yuo can win ODI's just wid ur own batting but u can't win test matches wid one innings bcoz test played for 5 days its a 4 inning game..Still Tendulkar's record in that era is Awesome.

[QwertyManiac]

Well, as long as he thinks he can manage to score decent amount of runs on a regular basis (~30) its good to let him stay then.

[wizrulz]

ALL THOSE SO CALLED SACHIN CRITICS REPLY TO MY ABOVE POST...............
IF U HAVE ANY ATFTER READING IT..... :p :p :p

[deepak.krishnan]

Sachin is a really great player and a gentleman cricketer. He is a role model to the budding cricketers. He has a cruicial role to play during the coming world cup and having him in the team is always a setback to the opposite side.

[the deconstructionist]

Don't write off the Genius, he has one last brilliance to show. Lets hope it is the World cup. "Form is temporary , Class is permanent."
Bandar jitna bhi budha ho jaye, gulati marna nahin bhoolta.

[uttoransen]

dada sacked as he don't have a good relation with the white's, i mean the icc, england, australlia, newzealand, greg chapple. i think you are getting my point.

just what hair did to pakistan shows what these english doggies are up to.

as fas as sachin is conserned, sachin is good, though only runs can save him, otherwise every one can be sacked. saurav ganguly's last 10 innings is better than sachin's so you can imagine very well, that saurav's sacking has nothing to do with the runs. take his last score and think for yourself.
__________
Remember that torches work when sun is not there.

sachin played from 16 yrs, that time he scored nothing, for the first 79 innings he don't have a century, and for saurav he was dropped after the 1st match and then again in 1996 after 4 yrs he started playing. he scored back to back centuries, so he managed a place.

sachin destroyed the team when he became the captain, the team was 0 when saurav got the captainship, and saurav took the team to winning a lot, even managed to go to the world cup final.

old captains like mohammad azar. took money, and sell the country to defeat, and after all that saurav got the team to win all that matches.

saurav is the best captain, has over 10,000 one day runs, and over 5000 test runs, and is the best captain of india.

if after all this you think sachin is better, than think again.

and if someone can compair the record best india captain saurav ganguly to the new commer captain dravid, than sachin can be compaired with anyone, even with raina, and venu gopal.

remember this is team india, and not the zonal team of mumbai or karnatiaka. every one has a participation on a fair ground, and if that's not done, then this country is not a place worth living.

i hope this makes some good understaing of the game.

saurav is against icc, new zealand, england, australlia, but not against indian ex players, so people don't think he hates all those players who comments on him badly. try to think from different point of views, beleave me it helps.

[wizrulz]

dada sacked as he don't have a good relation with the white's, i mean the icc, england, australlia, newzealand, greg chapple. i think you are getting my point.

U SPEAKING WITHOUT ANY HEAD OR TOE....firstly ganguly was sackedbeacause of his bad form which he carried to long....adn he was saved all this while because INDIA was winning.....it came to limelight when india started FAILING......what whites have to do with it??????



sachin played from 16 yrs, that time he scored nothing, for the first 79 innings he don't have a century, and for saurav he was dropped after the 1st match and then again in 1996 after 4 yrs he started playing. he scored back to back centuries, so he managed a place.


Again same thing.....ur mixing ODI and TEST knowledge........what were/are u doing when u were 16??? or what will u be doing at 16??

SACHIN DESTROYED TEAM WHEN HE WAS CAPTAIN..........JOKE..SHOULD I LAUGH......
When sachin was captain only he performed..know 1 man army..and poeple used to swicth off tvs when he used to get out............

For u kindest info IN WC..for that matter from when sachin has started palying in ODI..SACHIN has only been the batsmen to score highest runs for india..and it was not due GANGULY but ude to sachinthat we reached FINALS.....
GANGULY form when he became captian was riding on his luck.....when lukc was over his dream was also over.....
captaincy brought soem lcuk to him...
Remember AUSTRALIA tour of india when gang was captian ..who played..DRAVID< LAXMAN, and BHAJJI
INDIA TOUR TO ENG..who played..SACHIN, SEHWAG, DRAVID....
NATWEST final....Yuvi and KAIF
WC- SACHIN highest run getter among all teams...
AUSTRALIA tour- LAXMAN, DRAVID, SACHIN , SEHWAG ..all batsman in form
PAKISTAN tour- SEHWAG, DRAVID, SACHIN

GANGULY WAS JUST LUCKY EHOUGH DURING GOOD TIME OF TEAM
WHEN ALL STARTED TO FAIL GANGULY'S FORM WAS NOTICED........

DID GANGULY HAD COURAGE TO RESIGN AND TAKE BLAME FOR INDIA'S DEFEATS AND HIS BAD FORM..NO>>SO HE HAD TO PAY

[uttoransen]

SACHIN DESTROYED TEAM WHEN HE WAS CAPTAIN
yes he destroyed the team, that why you say this, "When sachin was captain only he performed..know 1 man army" why one man army? if he is the captain his team should perform, if destroyed the team, so the team lose matches. he scored centuries and the team lost the matches. his personal records got a hell lot of great, and the team got all the loss. yes, he destroyed the team.


"it was not due GANGULY but ude to sachinthat we reached FINALS....." again you are right, it was sachin, because sachin took india to the finals and then made sure that india don't win the final because if india did, saurav will get a lot of fame and credit. that's why sachin got out in finals in low score.


"GANGULY form when he became captian was riding on his luck.....when lukc was over his dream was also over.....
captaincy brought soem lcuk to him..." right, after the best captain for india's history, where the greats like gavskar and kapil dev, where the indian captain, saurav ganguly's records are better than all the greats, you say riding luck, and then you say "U SPEAKING WITHOUT ANY HEAD OR TOE...." now tell me who is with out the head and toe.


"firstly ganguly was sackedbeacause of his bad form which he carried to long....adn he was saved all this while because INDIA was winning.....it came to limelight when india started FAILING......what whites have to do with it??????" bad form, that was too long, then why was he sacked when the greg was the coach, you don't know these whites, these australlia people, they just want to dominate we indians, and when greg can't dominate saurav ganguly he wrote a 6 page long main, now in one month time how can one write 6 page email, what has he obserbed. he just want to rule, with saurav it was not possible, with dravid it's possible. that all.


"what were/are u doing when u were 16??? or what will u be doing at 16?? "
me? nothing, going to school in 16, that's it. but for your kind information this is team india, and any school going kid is not allowed to go there and ride his luck. and sachin was allowed, and he might be the top run getter, why not, but all those innings with out centuries is something of a big concern. i was doing nothing at 16 and actually no one should, until and unless he is competitive he should not get a chance, sachin should have played 4 yrs in ranji troffy and then should have got a chance, and that will have been fare. sachin got an unfair advantage and that's why he has all those 14 thousand runs and those hell lot of centuries.



NATWEST final....Yuvi and KAIF
yuvraj 69 kaif 75 or 85 right,
saurav ganguly scored 60 of 43 balls. who was better. you people forget everything.

AUSTRALIA tour- LAXMAN, DRAVID, SACHIN , SEHWAG ..all batsman in form
there was a 150 arround score from saurav ganguly as well.


DID GANGULY HAD COURAGE TO RESIGN AND TAKE BLAME FOR INDIA'S DEFEATS AND HIS BAD FORM..NO>>SO HE HAD TO PAY
after 6yrs captainsip the longest every, it's not a one day resign, there must be a proper time to say it's not to step down, and if you think that the proper time would be when you are touring in a game, out side india, and all of a sudden in the middle of a tournament, you are supposed to say it's time to stop down as the coach said, it's a criminal offence. either the time to say goodbye is at the begining of the towr or at the end, not in the middle of a going tournament, in the middle of a test match.


i know you will never say saurav gangulu is a good bats man, let his score 5000 test runs, what's great about it, say 10,000 odi runs, what's special about that, 10+ centuries in tests and 20+ in odi's what's so good about it, right, and about sachin, wheaher the team lose or not, wheather the other players perform or not, sachin is scoring 100's that's most important.

i repeat my words, sachin was the one man army, and he destroyed the team, he lost most matches when he was the captain, non of the players performed when he was the captain, why all this, did no one like him, did sachin took bad players in the team, what's the reason that sachin lost all matches and saurav ganguly won all the matches.

why sachin played all good cricket in all the matches except the final, did he fell to presure of final, if so then he should not be allowed to play in the finals, or he don't what to win the finals as the captain takes all the credit.

saurav ganguly is the best indian captain till now, "Again same thing.....ur mixing ODI and TEST knowledge" right am mixing, as saurav is best indian test and odi captain EVER!!!!.

[nikku12982]

I will not support this, why sachin is compared with ganguly,they both have equal importance in cricket.Come off it ! compare their stats ! All Indian sportsmen are temperamental;we need guys who produce the goods most of the time. They are being paid for that - perhaps paid more than any other cricket...

The recent fiasco by the Men in Blue against West Indies in the One day series makes one point very clear. You need to have experienced players in the side to cope up the pressure and to adjust to the...

So you are saying if Sachin, Sehwag and Kaif is removed from Indian team you are ok with the exclusion of Ganguly?

Are you giving a fair chance to the mentioned players?

Ganguly got his chances for over 3 years towards the end of his career and he just got from bad to worst with every chance, so stop crying for him...

There is nothing wrong in giving(ganguly) him a chance to play. But the question is what is the guarantee that he will not create unnecessary tension in the team with regard to Dravid & Chapell....

If u see the ganguly got maximum chances after his successive failure in Indian cricket team in comparison to sachin.

Every experts says wait and see sachin to perform.

And believe that today also,nearly 70% of people,watching cricket would love to see sachin scores...

[wizrulz]

I am providing sachin's record ....can u provide ganguly's record to prove ur WRONG point
I will give u sachins record
when he played in finals
Sachin- 47 1954 141 46.52 5 11

In Series Won
Sachin- 127 5548 186* 51.37 19 26

Tendulkar made 673 runs in 11 matches in the 2003 World Cup, helping India reach the finals. While Australia retained the trophy that it had won in 1999, Tendulkar was given the Man of the Series award.

TEST record when sachin scored hundred and more
100's in Tests India Won - 12
100's in Test Drawn - 15

Ganguly's contribution --total test hundreds-12
100's in Tests India Won-3 :p

I will make ur work easier ganguly's batting record in TEST as captain
49 2561 37.66 5

SACHIN's record in test
25 2054 51.35 7

Now consider this part of his captaincy -- the period from March 2003, till date: . during this same time frame, his personal batting record is no centuries, 9 --50s, and a batting average of 29.63.
THOUGH Ganguly and Dravid began their careers together in 1996, why is Ganguly still struggling to reach 5000 Test runs when Dravid is nearing 8000?

In 2000 He and Dravid had a similar Test record. He had 2505 runs (7 centuries) to Dravid's 2821 runs (6 centuries). Since then, Dravid has scored another 4875 runs (14 centuries) compared to Ganguly's 2444 runs (4 centuries) in Tests.

Ganguly was good ...read 'WAS'....good in ODI's but a liability in TEST...kept his place in test as he was captain......
ganguly has only cantaincy winning record on his side...in which his share is very little....so by record only that ..u can say he was better captain...but ya forget abt comparing ganguly to GREAT LITTLE MASTER BLASTER SACHIN R TENDULKAR.....no where near him...and cannot be in near future also....
SO rest in peace...
and do read the BIG post by me abt sachins record comapring with dravid and ponting...who r better these days....or supposed to be better.....ganguly is no where dude..so stop carying abt his captaincy...talk by for what he was taken in team....that is batting....hmmmmm bowling...hmmmm allrounder.......hmm i am confused as what to include him in team.
:p :p :p

[uttoransen]

no doubt, dravid in one of the best test player ever, and he is also a good one day player now. absolutely agreed with that point.

thanks for all the records, i have already told you, sachin only makes records, that's it.


Tendulkar made 673 runs in 11 matches in the 2003 World Cup, helping India reach the finals. While Australia retained the trophy that it had won in 1999, Tendulkar was given the Man of the Series award.
how much had he made in the world cup final???????? think about it, he dose not scores in finals.


you talking of personal records, when sachin was captain team's records went bad, when saurav was captain his personal records were bad. which is better.


team wins that's important, and for that is sachin is declaired at 194 we are more than happy,

people talk sachin to be gentle man, remember sachin has once done ball tampering and got his punishment, sachin's recation when he was declaired at 194, he said he was surprished, that shows what kind of a person he is when his personal records are conserned.


sachin is giving excuses for not playing matches, if he plays he will not get enough runs, and get out faster, and then he will be out of the team.



you are from mumbai so you support sachin and that's it. outside maharastra no one supports sachin. and if sachin is dropped, hopefully, then only maharastra will be on road, that the only thing that will happen. and i am a fan of dhoni, as am from ranchi, jharkhand. and also a big fan of dravid, but sachin, is running out of fans, and soon he will be running out of the team india.

forecast: saching will either retire, saying of inguries, or he will be dropped.
you thing he is fit, he will play a match and take rest for the entire series, just see for yourself.

[wizrulz]

Even if i would had been staying in bangladesh i would had been a great FAN of sachin..... ;)

This is sachins record for u with so called better batsmen in world cricket at the moment.....can u provide for ganguly.....???

U r so much a ignorant fellow dude....do not criticise beacause it is allowed here free.......u provide facts and figures and then talk........ do not ask dumb question as how many he scored WC finals.........as overall record speaks......


ABT captaincy record agreed ganguly's was better ...but was it due to ganguly's batting record for what he was included in team.....HE IS IN TEAM SO U DO NOT FEEL HE SHOULD CONTRIBUTE WITH BAT??.......
Agreed he played well in ODI but not in test......thats for sure..so what was he doing in test team......CAPTIANING?????...excuse me....if he is not doing his primary job properly then captaincy is secondary job......

UR fan of DHONI....i am too...but if tommorrow...he missed stumpings and drops catches and scores 50's ..he will be criticised.......as he is taken in team as WICKET KEEPER...scoring is just added responsibility.....understood....so do not talk abt captaincy......ganguly is dropped for not performing ion field with the bat...........

UR forecast also has no head nor tail---- 'sachin will retire' that everone knows dude...and will retire when he will know he cannot contribute for team.....and will never ever be dropped......my forecast..... ;) :p
Who cares if he plays or not..if he plays its and advantage for team INDIA...if he doesnt someone else will play in his place.......no matter what no one can take away form GENIOUS status.... :p

[uttoransen]

but was it due to ganguly's batting record for what he was included in team.....HE IS IN TEAM SO U DO NOT FEEL HE SHOULD CONTRIBUTE WITH BAT??.......
Agreed he played well in ODI but not in test......thats for sure..so what was he doing in test team


well, do we require to remove sachin or dravid, from the team of test match to take in gainguly. no, and about those 5000 runs at an average over 40 is not so bad that you can say that he should be removed from the tests.

anyways saurav is a better captain and sachin is a better player.

saurav is good in one days, dravid is good in test matches.

anyways, after 10,000 odi runs with 5,000 tests runs with 10+ test centuries and 20+ in odi's i mean after sachin, it's the best. ok perhaps dravid is also better, or equal, so possibly 3rd best indian player. as sunil gavaskar don't have a one day stat, and kapil is a all rounder, 3rd best ever indian batsman, and all time best indian captain, in both one day and tests.

ok, not good fielder, but that's only in the circle, but at the deep, at the border, it's all the same for every one.

over all saurav is a better cricketer. (captain+batsman) and that's what matter.

saurav best captain ever of indian cricket. and this in one thing that "no one can take away form " .
i think we should finish it here.

am a dhoni and saurav fan, and that will never change, and when if you ask a bangaladshi as you have told, you will get the answer.

[nikku12982]

i have gone through ur discussions............ and one thing i want to say

i am from chattisgarh,And great fan of sachin.......From my school friends,college friends and company mates mostly are fan of sachin...

Don't say to anybody that somebody is from mumbai,so he is great fan of sachin.

Whole India will come to streets if "Should sachin be sacked as like dada" this phrase come out in media or some other means...

Be prepare of sachin comeback.He will definetly show u what he is capable of.....

No body dare even to put him out of team,so sacking sachin is no way.Be in your dream only........

[sysfilez]

i m not into cricket anymore, its full of nasty politics, de squad gets whole lot of money and they dont perform.

[rajasekharan]

me too...not in cricket anymore....waist of time

[TechGuru#1]

Current Indian Cricket = A BIG JOKE

& Current Indian Cricket Board = A BIGGER JOKE with a BUNCH OF JOKERS!!!!

[wizrulz]

anyways saurav is a better captain


I would like to settle this for once for and all

can u answer this...............
sourav had players like sachin, dravid, sehwag, yuvraj, kaif....while he was captain. when u have 1 sachin ur bound to suceed...so was with case when azhar was captain........

When sachin was captain, he was alone in indian team.
can u tell one name who was of the calibre of above players.

Azharuddin was retiring.
mongia & jadeja & azhar were involved in MF.
dravid was as slow as tortoise.
other names ???

sunil joshi, venkatesh prasad, dodda ganesh ?????

Were those international players ???


Also speaking on current status ....any team in this world will readily take SACHIN THE GREAT in its team....can u say this abt GANGULY??? :p

@TechGuru#1,rajasekharan,sysfilez
IF u cannot write anything abt cricket ...y just write abt it here.....to increase ur posts...no offences...but ur posts do not contribute in any ways to this thread...think

absolutely correct, when sachin was the captain there was no good player, whos fault is that?
when saurav got the captainship, the team was zero. there was no performing players, azar and people like those had already taken bribes and sold the country to lose matches. what was the condition of the team then.

then saurav started building a great team. starting with yuvraj, kaif, and then forced dravid to do wicket keep. saurav did not get the players he searched for them. that was the first time when people from the under19 start comming into the team. he made this winning team, thats playing now.

and so is the team performing, there is no way that you can say anything wrong with the captainship of saurav ganguly, it's not only records that he is best at, also he made this team that's playing right now. people like shevag, yuvray, kaif, harbhajan, are the match winners, and also my favorite dhoni, these players were not available when saurav got the captainship.


why did sachin did not make a good team, sachin is a good batsman but not a good captain, and excuses don't help it, you have to agree that sachin is a falure as a captain.

@utorosen

Has anyone written or said like for GANGULY ??????????????????????????

# In terms of technique and compactness, Tendulkar is the best: Desmond Haynes.
# I have watched a lot of Tendulkar and we have spoken to each other a lot. He has it in him to be among the very best: Sir Garfield Sobers.
# He is 99.5 per cent perfect. I'd pay to see him: Viv Richards.
# I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two... his compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel: Sir Donald Bradman.
# Technically he stands out as the best because of his ability to increase the pace at will: David Boon.
# There is no shame being beaten by such a great player, Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don: Steve Waugh.
# Sachin is cricket's God: Barry Richards.
# Sachin is an attacker. He has much more power than Sunny. He wants to be the one to set the pace. He has to be on top. That's the buzz about him: Jeff Thompson.
# If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard: Dennis Lillee.
# You take Don Bradman away and he is next up I reckon: Steve Waugh.
# I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player: Shane Warne.
When it comes to judging the best among these fabulous band of batsmen, my vote goes to Tendulkar. He has an uncanny ability to come out on top under different circumstances and under different conditions, whether it is Test cricket or one-day internationals. And more importantly, he has done this so young: Shane Warne.
Sachin's better; Lara is more risky outside the off stump: Mark Waugh.
# West Indian great Brian Lara said Sachin Tendulkar was a peerless batsman with a lot more to offer. Lara, Test cricket's leading scorer with 11,294 runs, regarded Tendulkar the best batsman he ever watched despite the prolific success of Australian captain Ricky Ponting and South African Jacques Kallis. Lara said: "For me, the best batsman in the world is Sachin Tendulkar. I admire Jacques Kallis' consistency and Ricky Ponting, with the purple patch he's going though. Everybody gets 15 minutes of fame. But if there's one person I've admired over a 15-year period, it's definitely Sachin."
# The fact of the matter is that India still need Sachin in a big way. All this talk of the youngsters taking over is very foolish. The reason why Tendulkar is so important for the team is because of his ability to inspire others and make them perform under pressure - TOI
# Not only did Tendulkar continue playing, but he also emerged as one of the finest batsmen to grace the game and was regarded by the great Don Bradman as his modern reincarnation. Greg Chappell too is impressed with Sachin. The Australian believes the hype and expectations on Sachin is greater than even Bradman faced in his day.
# The Indian coach said: Sachin carries a weight of collective expectation to the crease that few can comprehend. Bradman would not have had the weight of expectation that Sachin has on him every time he went out to bat."
# "Cricketers like Sachin come once in a lifetime and I am privileged he played in my time," said Pakistan legend Wasim Akram.
# Many hold Tendulkar's mastery of the craft high above anyone else in the modern era. Even the great Sir Don Bradman saw Sachin as his closest replica, indirectly branding the batting maestro better than Gavaskar.TOI
#But the finest compliment must be that bookmakers would not fix the odds - or a game - until Tendulkar was out.

^^ ALL these were applicable abt Sachin 10 years ago,but NOT NOW!
& all likewise could be said abt GANGULY too,though NOT same MAYB like Sachin as an Batsmen,But DEFINETELY as Among the BEST INTERNATIONAL CRICKET CAPTAINS & certainly the BEST INDIAN CRICKET CAPTAIN ever yet!(who Single handedly made the Whole TEAM INDIA by Ganguly Magic)!!

But Now Look & Feel the HELL & Heaven of differences of Treatment both these class players of International Cricket r Getting!!!!!!!

Feels Extremely BAD at THAT & Hopelesely BAD for being a HONEST Citizen of such a India,which treats their Heroes as VILLIANS,while every1 speaks abt their SO-CALLED paradigms of equality & Neutral Fair judgement,but fiendishly back-stabbing the outspoken but HONEST Harry!!!!

sachin na khel kar/maje ley ke bhi bana raha bhagawan,
phir bhi,dada ko bhaga bhaga ke na khilake bana diya beiman

hey,hav u all forgotten the no of runs dada scored .he is one of the few batsmen to score more than 10000 runs in world cricket.he is also the carrier f some of the greatest records.the highest third wicket partnership,the max no of sixes in a match(tauntan).etc etc.

[TechGuru#1]

^^ SORRY MAN !!!
I agree with You 101% .(Nothing more the TRUTH)
Even if i said so,these LAME curent Gen (the SO-INTELLIGENTGen X) Indians,would NOT arrogantly believe so,coz for them GANGULY is Only the WORST SUCKER PLAYER who NEVER KNEW How 2 play from the Very begining!!!

Now,with whom would u reason??? It is quite meaningless 2 point out the TRUTH here,when the Established facts of the day r already skewed,politically lopsided,utterly provincialistic & fully driven with immoral vendetta!

FAIR Cricket is the ONLY Victim here!

what are u saying man u r comparing Tendulkar to Ganguly thats not right i think tendulkar is more agressive than ganguly and have u ppls seen ganguly how he bats and specially fields, i think ganguly should retire from both formats of International Cricket but tendulkar should play for 4 or 5 years more

Okay...i am watching GREAT SIR MASTER BALSTER SACHIN..since his debut and also Ganguly since his debut........

Here the discussion is abt how both r playing since last few years........

If u have gone thru previous posts (Esp mine) then u can see ur self i haev posted all sachin records for u to see......
And now can u please post in record of ganguly to press ur issue of inclusion of ganguly in india team.....or exclusion of sachin form indian team.....
COme on lets talk on FACTS and FIGURES......

Evryone knows GANguly has hit 10K runs in ODI..but for that he cannot take his place in indian team for granted and cannot be non performer ....just beacause he WAS a captian..any ways he got a longer rope in indian team as he was captian......

Thats for ODI's ...u wil also agree that he was TOTALY non performer in TESTS....... go thru my few previous posts and see comparison of his and dravid...(did not compare with SACHIN..because then that would not be fair for ganguly...) and also both made debut together.....

COMEON WAITING FOR UR REPLY WITH FACTS AND FIGURES......

Else all discussion is useless abt his captiancy etc...............

[LegendKiller]

what is all this rubbish??
it is nothing but stupidity of the greatest order to even compare anybody with the greatest batsman of all time ie.sachin

who is ganguly??
he came into the team because of dalmiya,eventhough he wasn't performing well in domestic.
he was made captain because of dalmiya!
dada lost his form way back in 2001-2 in windies,after that mr.dada scored against likes of kenya/zimbabwe.

and all those who credit him of being a great captain,think again!
ganguly has never won a single test as a batsman and his last great odi knock came in soth-africa in 2001.

While he did politcs wid jaggu dada,people dravid/kumble/sehwag/sachin/bhajji won us matches and all that dada do was come and take away trophies..

remember in nagpur in 2004,what did the great dada do seeing a green top???
he ran away claiming to be injured and pushed dravid in the line of fire.

after pakistan tour,india went down from 2nd in odi's to 8th,lost 16 finals,lost to zimbabwe and what not.

And between all that poor dada did nothing.

And than when chappel came,he did a high-voltage drama in zimbabwe,broke team's unity by leaking dressing-room talks in media,than staying back in harare with bhajji and zaheer khan while rest of the team moved forward.

thankfully,pawar won the election,threw the "Deadwood" out.

And than what did bengal do??? they are such patriots that they boo their country in kolkata...burnt effigies in full public view..

even then ganguly kept meeting politicians like arun jaitely/buddhadeb bhattacharya to get into the team...

than even that didn't work!!! so what did dada do??- he back-stabbed his mentor(dalmiya).

what a great personality and leader is ganguly!!! hats-off to him.

And please don't insult greats like sachin/dravid by even speaking their name in same breath with ganguly.

ganguly was a good player till 2002 and after that he should thank dalmiya for the additional 3.5 yrs he played.
__________
and ya i forgot!
i cannot help but laugh at people who say sachin never won us a match or his centuries never won us matches...

now guess what??-the last time i saw a cricket match,i remember seeing 11players playing for each side???? hello anybody there??

and if i know correctly,you need bowlers to take 20 wickets in test to win matches..

and the last time i read a cricket book,it said sachin is a batsman and not a bowler...is it true??

when did india have mcgrath/lee/gillespie/warne/mc.dermott/ambrose/walsh/wasim akram/waqar younis in their side??

ponting/inzi/lara are very very lucky to be playing alongwith some of the greatest bowlers of all time,who could on their day even defend a total of 150.

during sachin's prime we only had kumble who was real match-winner and to some extent srinath,but they also didn't do all that well abroad.

sachin never had support of mark&steve waugh,hayden,gilchrist,langer,martyn in batting till 2001 when dravid really started doing well.

sachin has always was lone warrior abroad and diss-appointingly you have to take 20 wickets also to win matches...which never happened until recently.

i pity people who just for sake of argument and regionalistic biases critcise sachin.

[mediator]

Oh..well! I dont say that for Sachin alone, but for the whole cricket team. Any player who doesnt play well constantly for 5-6 games shud be suspended from the team for some time and not sacked. Tha player shud be made to excercise day and night and made to bear all kinds of physical tortures until he gets his spirits back.
But still if he doesnt then definitely he shud be sacked! Look at veeru.....he has become a couch potato. He can hardly run. Sachin yeah he hardly makes runs now. 1 in 15 matches is his ratio of making runs. Thats not the ratio of even some Indian bowlers.

He has played enormously since the age of 16 r 17 whateva.....but now instead facing an embarassing situation such as sacking, he shud resign elegantly!

I dont want to see cricket match once outta 15 in which Sachin makes a century and makes 0 in the rest. Rather I wud prefer seeing all his matches in which he scores an average of atleast 40.

In the reszt of the countries like Australia which show tremendous professionalism, they suspend any player irrespective of his repute if he doesnt play well continously and thats why Ausytralia is the world leader in cricket. But here we are stuck, depending only on Saching, praying to God that he makes some score. We dont want a sole hero in our team, but we want a team consisting of heroes.

Sachin I wud say has become a good bowler now instead of batsman!
Also its the fault of media which popularises the cricketer (who becomes a hero in any match) and continously keeps on doing so until he regresses badly. He is made to come in all sort of ads starting from footwear,tea ads to Gutaka ads.

If cricketers will spend all their time in such activities, partying all around with media following them and glamourising them,offering them more ads.........then what else do u think will happen ?? These guys are getting deteriorated day by day!
They are not thinking about the country now!

Some 6-7 sackings will surely give them a few thousand volts shock and bring the players back to their minds.

Since then, in One Day Internationals, the following list indicates that there have been hardly a player or two better than Sourav who could be termed as a real match-winner.

Saurav Ganguly was only the third Indian to carry his bat through a (completed) LOI innings. The other two instances occurred almost a decade ago when Ravi Shastri batted through the Indian innings against the same opponent - Sri Lanka, at the same ground - VCA Ground, Nagpur.

There have been many instances of Indian openers batting through an innings, but the following lists only those when India were batting first. When batting second, the only such remarkable instance was Sunil Gavaskar's 'famous' 36 not out against England in the 60 over innings of 1975 World Cup. Others are when India won without the stipulated number of overs being completed, and hence, would not qualify for this table.

Ganguly achieved a rare feat

Saurav Ganguly had become the fourth player to score a hundred and take four or more wickets in a LOI match. He achieved this distinction against Sri Lanka at Nagpur on 22nd March, 1999 in the second match of the Triangular series being played in India. The other Indian who has done this is Sachin Tendulkar. The following table lists the four instances.

Also let's Compare:

True Analysis of Saurav Ganguly's Performance only reveals that One day game is the bastion/forte of Sourav. His 22 centuries in ODI (next to Sachin Tendulkar ) and more than 10000 magical runs ( next to Sachin and In zamum ) reinforce his necessity in Indian ODI squad .His performance in world cup if is scintillating then as a captain in world cup he was outstanding . After all , after prudential cup win in 1983 under captaincy of Kapil Dev , India reached to world cup final again after 20 long awaited years under the stewardship of --- Sourav Ganguly !

In one day :

After seeing this statistics in world cup we hope that it is needless to doubt the performance of Sourav Ganguly as a batman in the most challenging and the biggest arena of world cricket –world cup.

In total 18 matches, he played in two world cups; he scored 844 runs with an impressive average of 56.26 with 4 century and one half century. His 183against Sri Lanka in Taunton, South Africa is the highest world cup score in one day cricket.

If we go little deeper we will see that he did better in second world cup in South Africa with a great average of 63 in 10 matches compared to England where in 7 matches he achieved an average quite impressive although -54.14 .

Even as a captain, his batting average is better (58.12) than the average (54.14) when he was a non captain. It clearly manifests the very fact that he is always a big tournament player and big challenge motivates him immensely.

Under his chieftain, India won 12 matches and lost six matches .that means that in the most challenging arena, sourav helped India to win every 2 matches out of 3 matches.

A commendable feat!

Finally he is the only captain after Kapil Dev, during whose tenure; India went to world cup final after 20 long years against Aussies in 2003!

Mr.Kiran More and your bunch of jockers --- do you still feel that the mentor of team India and with such impressive performance , Sourav Ganguly does not deserve his place in 2007 world cup ??!!

Really you people make a mockery of Indian Cricket! you really dwarf Indian cricket to your own height !

you people are foolishly wasting your time on whether ganguly was of any good or sachin is of any good...

sourav was a politician who lived on aid of godfathers and political parties like dalmiya and CPI-M after 2001.

whereas sachin is a living legend and i will not insult this cricketing god,by even start defending him with a deadwood like ganguly.

and all this talk about him are spoken by sourav's biased and narrow-minded fans for whom individuals come before the country.

we all know how good ganguly is,we saw it in england.

so stop this politics about fallen politicians,and concentrate on tech,for which we are here.

and such stupid talks are not going to bring ganguly back and throw sachin out.

[TechGuru#1]

As I Said(forewarned) earlier :
"Now,with whom would u reason??? It is quite meaningless 2 point out the TRUTH here,when the Established facts of the day r already skewed,politically lopsided,utterly provincialistic & fully driven with immoral vendetta!"
My stand remains vindicated!
So,All the ninicomps r free 2 join the GANG of Legend killer/trashers!

I never encourage flaming nor do i personally flame,but facts/datas r the TRUTH,when they r even more deliberately avoided,their stands r more confirmed & compounded!

so stop this politics about fallen politicians,and concentrate on tech,for which we are here

mayb u should have better seen first,where the topic was posted!!!
,.....or mayb i should have said...."U don't belong here.kid"

[wizrulz]

THAT ONLY I AM SAYING...SAY WTH FACTS.....FROm 2000 till date......
TEST and then ODI..and forget his captiancy record.....discuss him as batsmen for hwat ganfuly was selected adn is dropped form the team...;)

[LegendKiller]

dear techguru,
like i said b4,u r foolishly wasting your time on someone who has no chance of coming back and everyone knows how good a player he is..

i didn't want to hurt you by any means and when i said concentrate on tech,means all of us here will be better served,if you use ur knowledge on better things.

at the end o d day,its ur choice,and i think i have said more than needed on what i think abt ganguly and sachin...

goodbye and cheers.

dear techguru,
like i said b4,u r foolishly wasting your time on someone who has no chance of coming back and everyone knows how good a player he is..

Yes,wasting time TRUE!,but tht i regularly Do,it's my COMPULSION for the NET!(So No Problemo)it doesn't hurts much for me!!!
I am NEVER trying 2 make some1 come back particularly in a Corrupted Board/team like India,who has already lost all reasons & sold its soul 2 the devil! who am I or the matter DADA b4 the Legendary Gr8 MORE & all! As they say,Devil's Own Agent knows BEST! & i'm NOT in my Life Going 2 challange the DEVIL who rules the roost nowdays![AJ] :P

All but i was quoting the facts & establishing the TRUTHS!
& L.... ...K....my Life's Kool......boy u seriously cant fathom how 2 hurt my feeelings! So move it & cut that away! u only tickle my fancies!!!u dont know where my sensibilities lies!

As,for that matter,very pitiable state of India & the Indians,when i see who much is the SLAVERY mentality ingrained in their psyche!
Our Big country being run by a foreigner lady who first-hand had no business in anything close 2 who she's attempting 2 do now!
& the the entire current pack of Jokers of Indian board of cricket selectors & members running around & most willingly following like a dog the whims/fancies/etc of a UNGREATFUL AUSSIE Pirate!(who himself was sadly inducted in2 the indian scene by the so-called DADA villian himself)


Anyway,I dont want 2 rant like a dork anymore here in the company of all OVER-intelligent champions of the cricket game@digit & thus would luckily consider myself a less scoundrel in the ill-directed-lopsided arguments running here!

Take rgds & my Best
