Sourav Ganguly was missed by the Indian cricket team during the CB one day cricket series in Australia

Sourav Ganguly was really missed by the Indian cricket team in the CB cricket series. Surprised?

There is so much said about the youngsters in the Indian cricket team being responsible for the Indian cricket team's win- but did the young Indian cricket batsmen do better than Sourav 'Dada' Ganguly?

The answer is a resounding "No"- Sourav Ganguly had a batting average of over 60 in one day international cricket matches over the last year of so- but all the Indian cricket batsmen in the CB series barring Mahendra Singh Dhoni had averages of less than 50.

The only batsman who came good in the CB finals was Sourav Ganguly's erstwhile senior partner, Sachin Tendulkar

In the absence of Sourav Ganguly, there were only two opening partnerships greater than 50- both of the partnerships had the greatest one day international "senior" batsman in the world- "Senior" Sachin Tendulkar play a major role

Sourav Ganguly was unfairly dropped from the Indian cricket team and his replacements are simply not good enough

Sourav Ganguly was treated badly by the Indian cricket selectors and Mahendra Singh Dhoni- We seem to be getting back to the bad old days, when the whims and fancies of selectors and Indian cricket captains decided the composition of the Indian cricket team

Sourav Ganguly's absence underscores that Youth is not important, only performance should the criteria for selection

Sachin Tendulkar said it best when he said that the seniors still have a role to play and the Indian cricket team should be selected based on performance rather than whims, fancies and age

Sourav Ganguly is a better fielder than a lot of "young" players in the Indian cricket team

Sourav Ganguly is a better fielder than at least Suresh Raina and Munaf Patel,who let a lot of balls slip under their feet-

Sourav Ganguly is supposedly a bad fielder and thats the reason he was dropped- but compared to the leaden footed "young" fielders in the CB cricket series such as Munaf Patel and Suresh Raina, Sourav Ganguly is definitely better

Sourav Ganguly could also have contributed with the ball in the CB cricket series

Sourav Ganguly is definitely an asset to any Indian cricket team - he would have been a valuable all-rounder in the Indian cricket team, and allowed the Indian skipper to even play an additional batsman

Sachin Tendulkar did bail out Dhoni's "youngsters", but the Indian cricket selectors should realize their mistake, and reinstate Sourav "Dada" Ganguly in the Indian cricket team

Sachin Tendulkar Vs Brett Lee video- See God in action

Sachin Tendulkar Vs Brett Lee cricket Video- God in action

If you ever doubted that God existed, you should see this Sachin Tendulkar Vs Brett Lee cricket video. Sachin Tendulkar hit three amazing boundaries off Brett Lee including two breathtaking straight drives that scorched the MCG

Sachin Tendulkar's straight drives off Brett Lee were nothing short of cricketing perfection, as the MCG spectators were treated to almost a religious miracle- the most mesmerizing straight drives almost in the history of cricket

Brett Lee bowled at 150 mph and Sachin Tendulkar hit a straight drive at 250 mph

As you can see in the Sachin Tendulkar Vs Brett Lee video below, Sachin Tendulkar slams the ball back to the boundary with majestic power that seemed to signal that he is almost back to being the best bastman in the cricket world today

The Pakistan cricket team for the India Vs Pakistan one day international cricket series,2007 has some incredible bowlers such as the maverick Shoaib Akhtar and the mercurial Shahid Afridi.

Rahul Dravid destined for cricket oblivion?Was Rahul Dravid treatedwell by Indian cricket board?

Rahul Dravid has been dropped from the Indian cricket team for the first two matches of the India Vs Pakistan one day international cricket series

Rahul Dravid has been summarily "rested" by Dilip Vengsarkar 's Indian cricket selection board

Rahul Dravid 's dropping is a bizarre decision reeking of a witchhunt against the Indian cricketing legends in the search for "young" talent. Dilip Vengsarkar 's selection board committee has committed the mistake of a lifetime by dropping such as seasoned campaigner as Rahul Dravid in a crucial India Vs Pakistan cricket series

Rahul Dravid case suggests that in Indian cricket, "rested" usually means being dropped from the Indian cricket team indefinitely

Rahul Dravid has lived in the system of Indian cricket long enough to know that "rested" is a euphemism for being summarily dropped from the Indian cricket team for an indefinite period of time

Rahul Dravid 's case illustrates how Indian cricket continuously dishonours and denigrates its cricketing legends without even a proper sendoff, but employs euphemisms to prevent public indignation for the brutal dropping from the Indian national cricket team

Rahul Dravid may be in bad form but he is desperately needed in a crunch India Vs Pakistan cricket series

Rahul Dravid is a cool calculated cricketer who plays cricket using his determination and mental strength. Dropping a player like Rahul Dravid from the Indian cricket team for the India Vs Pakistan cricket series is nothing but hara-kiri

It was a crime and an insult to Indian cricket to "rest" Rahul Dravid from the Indian cricket team

The question on everyone's mind after Rahul Dravid was "rested"- Who will be rested next, Sachin Tendulkar or Saurav Ganguly?

Sachin Tendulkar played a classy knock ,but the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series seems destined to go Australia's way

Barring Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian cricket team played a poor game of cricket in the fifth India Vs Australia cricket ODI at Vododara.
Despite Sachin Tendulkar's fighting knock of 47, the Indian cricket team was bowled out for just 148 runs in the India Vs Australia ODI cricket match

Gilchrist made a mockery of the Indian cricket score, by slamming four sixes en route to a good score of 77 runs, but Sachin Tendulkar had provided the early magic by some amazing straight drives

Sachin Tendulkar was out to the best ball bowled in the India Vs Australia ODI cricket series

Sachin Tendulkar was out to an incredible ball by Brett Lee,probably the best ball in the ongoing India Vs Australia ODI cricket series. Brett Lee came back for his second spell, and bowled a peach of a delivery that drew Sachin Tendulkar to the front foot and seamed away at 150 mph to give an easy catch to Adam Gilchrist

With Sachin Tendulkar's dismissal, the last resistance of the Indian cricket team in this India Vs Australia cricket match faded away and the Indian cricket team folded up for 148 runs

India Vs Australia 5th ODI match summary - If Sachin Tendulkar and Saurav Ganguly do not provide a great start for India,the Indian cricket team is a disaster

The India Vs Australia one day international cricket series is about to start and its time for GameCricket.com's predictions for the India Vs Australia cricket series

Our statistical simulations for the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series suggest that the Australian cricket team will win the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series by a score of 4-3

GameCricket.com predicts a win for the Australian cricket team in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

Sure,Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Indian cricket team is on a high after winning the Twenty20 cricket World cup, but the Australian cricket team of course has incredible talent and experience in one day international cricket matches to post a win for the Australian cricket team in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

Sachin Tendulkar holds the key for the Indian cricket team in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

Sachin Tendulkar will decide the outcome of the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series. This sounds like a chiche, even after almost twenty years of cricket by Sachin Tendulkar, but the Indian cricket team has evolved around Sachin and will continue to evolve around Sachin till he retires

Sachin Tendulkar was not a member of the World cup winning Indian Twenty20 cricket team in South Africa, and Sachin Tendulkar will be eager to prove a point to his detractors in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

The Australian cricket team's level of rustiness offers a good chance for the Indian cricket team to pull off an upset in the India Vs Australia one day cricket series

The Australian cricket team seems to be rusty after their long layoff and this could prove to be a great chance for the Indian cricket team in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

In summary, the Australian cricket team are the favorites to win the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series, but the Indian cricket team could cause an upset if Sachin Tendulkar displays his brilliance and the Australian cricket team do not recover from their rustiness

Mahendra Singh Dhoni faces bigger challenge in India Vs Australia oneday international cricket series

Mahendra Singh Dhoni faces a bigger challenge against the Australian cricket team in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his Indian teammates successfully won the Twenty20 cricket World cup. Along the way, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his Indian cricketers won the crucial India Vs Australia Twenty20 cricket match in the Twenty20 cricket World cup semifinals

Mahendra Singh Dhoni may find the Australian cricket team in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series to be a different team in the one day international cricket series format

The Australian cricket team may be new to the Twenty20 cricket format but the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series provides a chance for the Australian cricket team to prove themselves to be masters of the one day internationals format

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his merry band of cricketers have the advantage of having the experience of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

The experience of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid will be a huge advantage for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his merry band of cricketers in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

Apart from his immense talent,Sachin Tendulkar brings to the table, a great understanding of the cricket game and this will be invaluable for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the Indian cricket team In the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

For example, while batting first,within a few overs Sachin Tendulkar typically will decide on the target score and convey it to Mahendra Singh Dhoni,the Indian cricket team's captain. This kind of perception is invaluable for Mahendra SIngh Dhoni and the Indian cricket team in the India Vs Australia cricket one day international series

The Australian cricket team appear rusty at the start of the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series,and this is the best chance for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the Indian cricket team

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the Indian cricket team should exploit the rustiness of the Australian cricket team at the start of the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

The Australian cricket team also are missing Ricky Ponting for the first few matches of the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series and it is a great opportunity for Dhoni and the Indian cricket team to grab the initiative

Hoping for an amazing India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

Sachin Tendulkar,Sachin Tendulkar is not a match winner anymore?

Sachin Tendulkar was, is and will be a match winner for the Indian cricket team

Sachin Tendulkar is God. I am obviously a die hard Sachin Tendulkar cricket fan, and get amazed by Sachin Tendulkar's ability to take criticism from the cricket fans of his own country

Sachin Tendulkar is a victim of the "argumentative Indian"

Sachin Tendulkar scored a match winning knock of 91 runs against the England cricket team and was undone only by Simon Taufel, the umpire. Despite this match winning knock by Sachin Tendulkar, sections of the Indian media, and armchair enthusiasts in India criticize Sachin for his "slow" knock of 91

Sachin Tendulkar was criticized earlier by Ian Chappell

At the height of Sachin Tendulkar's dispute with Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell suggested that Sachin Tendulkar should retire, citing Sachin Tendulkar's knock of 241 not out against the Australian cricket team as being "too careful".

Sachin Tendulkar has endured a lot of such criticism in his test career but Ian Chappell's reasoning for Sachin's retirement was the most stupid

Only the opposing international cricket teams must be eagerly awaiting Sachin Tendulkar's retirement

Teams such as the England cricket team, the Australian cricket team and the Sri Lankan cricket team must be hoping that Sachin Tendulkar retires soon, but criticism from the Indian cricket fan is stupid

Monty Panesar,how Sachin Tendulkar should play Monty Panesar

Monty Panesar should be treated with disdain by Sachin Tendulkar

Monty Panesar has been treated with great respect by the Indian cricket team,especially Sachin Tendulkar in the first India Vs England cricket test at Lords

On a more sarcastic note, the Indian cricket batsmen such as Sachin Tendulkar seem to be treating Monty Panesar, the way Indian culture asks them to treat a fellow Indian in a foreign land

Monty Panesar should be treated with absolutely no respect by Sachin Tendulkar and the rest of the Indian cricket team and Sachin Tendulkar needs to hit Monty Panesar out of the attack as soon as possible

Monty Panesar was thrashed by Gilchrist and Sachin Tendulkar should do the same to Monty Panesar

Monty Panesar was hit for 24 runs in a single over by Adam Gilchrist,including three huge sixes past midwicket. Sachin Tendulkar should watch this video of Monty Panesar being demolished by Adam Gilchrist and take inspiration from it

Sachin Tendulkar played the same way against stalwarts like Glenn Mcgrath and Shane Warne, all that Sachin Tendulkar needs to do is to play Monty Panesar thinking Monty Panesar is just another club bowler!

Monty Panesar Vs Sachin Tendulkar cricket video and incredible celebration

Monty Panesar Vs Sachin Tendulkar video of an incredible celebration by Monty Panesar

Monty Panesar dismissed Sachin Tendulkar in the Lords first Test between the Indian and England cricket teams. Monty Panesar bowled another of his "Once in a blue moon" arm balls to get Sachin Tendulkar out "lbw" again.

Monty Panesar may have Sachin Tendulkar as his "bunny"

Monty Panesar may claim Sachin Tendulkar as his bunny. Sachin Tendulkar does appear extremely uncomfortable against Monty Panesar's left arm spin. Monty Panesar typically bowls an incredible line to Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar is of course giving Monty Panesar more respect than Monty deserves from a batsman with 37 centuries to his name.Sachin Tendulkar's best option to counter Monty Panesar is to give Monty Panesar the Adam Gilchrist treatment.

Sachin Tendulkar needs to take Monty Panesar to the cleaners in order to avoid seeing Monty Panesar's incredible celebration again

Indian cricket team may win the India Vs England cricket test series

India Vs England test cricket series predictions, India will win

The India Vs England test cricket series is interestingly poised, with the Indian cricket team,narrowly managing a draw in the first test match against the England cricket team

Dhoni dropped from Indian cricket team?

Dhoni being dropped from Indian cricket team?

Rumors suggest that Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be dropped from the Indian cricket team. Dhoni will be replaced by Dinesh Karthik, who is currently in the team as a specialist batsman

The argument suggests that Dhoni is not a good wicketkeeper,especially in English conditions and Dinesh Kartik can do a better job at keeping for the Indian cricket team

Why cannot Dhoni play as a specialist middle order batsman

Dhoni is currently being treated as an also-ran in the race for the much coveted middle order position. After Sachin Tendulkar, the immediate choices for the Indian cricket's middle order positions are Saurav Ganguly,Laxman and Yuvraj Singh. But typically, the Indian cricket team management seems to think that a strokeplayer like Dhoni can come in only at number 7 and not earlier

Dhoni dropped?Have the Indian cricket team management not heard of Kevin Pieterson?

Pieterson is as unorthodox as Dhoni and plays for the England cricket team at number four and very often intimidates the opposing cricket team. By playing predominatly off the front foot, Pieterson often damages the confidence of the opposing cricket team by scoring at over a run a ball.

Lets hope logic prevails and Dhoni is not dropped from the Indian cricket team for the first cricket test against the England cricket team

Inzamam treated badly by Pakistan cricket board

Inzamam Ul Haq should be treated better by the Pakistan cricket board

Inzamam Ul Haq has not been selected as one of the contracted players of the year by the Pakistan cricket board. Inzamam has been treated badly by the Pakistan cricket establishment again and this was the last nail in the coffin for Inzamam

Why cant Inzamam at least be given a hero's farewell by the Pakistan cricket board for his services to cricket?

Inzamam Ul Haq is being made a scapegoat for the Pakistan cricket team's world cup cricket debacle

Inzamam was of course the captain for the Pakistan cricket team in the cricket World cup. But, Inzamam was not the only cause for Pakistan's ignominious exit from the cricket World cup

Inzamam's past contributions to the Pakistan cricket team have been very conveniently forgotten. Very often, Inzamam was the only cricketer to stand up to the opposition in international one day and test cricket matches

Inzamam's treatment shows that Asian cricket teams do not know how to honour their heroes

Inzamam is but the latest cricket hero to be dump by an Asian cricket establishment. Right from the days of Gundappa Vishwanath, to Mohinder Amarnath, Indian and Pakistan cricket heroes have been unceremoniously dumped after a bad performance, without even standing up to applaud their past achievements

Inzamam should have perhaps learnt from Sunil Gavaskar and Imran Khan who probably understood this phenomenon best, and retired after an extraordinary cricket performance

Like Inzamam,Sachin Tendulkar is perhaps still at his best, but should he retire now to protect his post cricket career and reputation?

Sachin Tendulkar hits 15000 runs in one day cricket and the Sensex hits 15000

Sachin Tendulkar's prolific run scoring has thrown up another interesting statistic. There is a weird correlation between the Indian Sensex and Sachin Tendulkar's run aggregate in one day International cricket matches

Sachin Tendulkar's arrival heralded the Indian economic reforms

Coincidentally,Sachin Tendulkar's arrival in the Indian cricket team also saw the launch of the Indian economic reforms.

As an article in the Times of India by Abhishek Raghunath points out,Sachin Tendulkar had leaped ahead of the Sensex in terms of his run aggregate early in his career, but the Indian Sensex has caught on

Sachin Vs the Indian Sensex , the statistics

• 
  When Sachin Tendulkar scored just 200 runs in ODI cricket matches, the Sensex was at 4000 points
  


• Sachin Tendulkar then went into a rampage at Sharjah vs the Australian cricket team and later against Sri Lanka. Soon enough by February 1997, Sachin Tendulkar had clearly beaten the Sensex


• By 2006, Sachin Tendulkar was above 13000 runs in one day international cricket matches,but the Sensex was starting to move up quickly and soon touched 9000 points


• Today, Sachin Tendulkar and the Indian Sensex are almost at par,at 15000

Will Sachin Tendulkar overtake the Indian Sensex again

Millions of Sachin Tendulkar fans including yours truly, are hoping that Sachin uses the current England cricket series to leap past the Sensex again

The windy,seaming conditions for the India Vs South Africa live one day international cricket series should favor the South African cricket team

The South African cricket team should win the India Vs South Africa live one day international cricket matches. The hostility of the South African bowling attack will be exacerbated by the presence of the harsh windy weather and a pitch expected to favor seam bowling

The South African pace bowlers such Ntini and Steyn could be expected to exploit the seaming conditions for the India Vs South Africa live one day international cricket series in Ireland

The Indian cricket team for the India Vs South Africa one day international seems tentative and appears to be going through the motions

The frequent calls for the Indian senior cricketers to be sacked and adverse publicity after the World cup cricket debacle seem to have a detrimental effect on the Indian cricket team. The Indian cricketers such as Saurav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar seem to be careful and tentative and not in a position to play their natural game

The GameCricket.com solution for the Indian cricket team in the India Vs South Africa one day international cricket test series,play the natural game

On pure statistics and past one-on-one encounters, the Indian cricket team is actually a better cricket team than the South African cricket team, as seen in statistical simulations of one day international cricket matches.

If the the Indian cricketers play their natural cricket game like the champions they really are,the Indian cricket team may still have a good chance against the South African cricket team

Indian cricketers,peer into the mirror and see a roaring lion rather than a puny cat

Zaheer Abbas, most stylish batsmen ever?

Zaheer Abbas may be the most stylish batsman to have played cricket

Zaheer Abbas, GR Vishwanath and David Gower are the most stylish batsmen I have seen playing test cricket.

How do you define style in cricket? Style in cricket implies elegance even when playing a bad shot or getting out. Zaheer Abbas exemplified style through his incomparable back foot square drive and Gundappa Vishwanath exemplified his style through his uppish square cut.

Zaheer Abbas and Gundappa Vishwanath may not have great batting records in comparison to Brian Charles Lara or Sachin Tendulkar, but they definitely had better "style" and elegance

Here is Zaheer Abbas at his best , executing a stylish back foot drive

Sachin Tendulkar always has the last laugh in Indian cricket

Sachin Tendulkar has scored two consecutive test centuries against the Bangladesh cricket team and hopefully quelled the anti Sachin Tendulkar brigade for some time. Sachin Tendulkar proved once again that he is after all one of the greatest test cricketers of his generation

Sachin Tendulkar's centuries against Bangladesh- Please dont say that it was only Bangladesh

Sachin Tendulkar does not care about the opposition or any specious arguments by the so called cricket experts.

Why is it that Sachin Tendulkar is criticized whether or not he scores against the Bangladesh cricket team. When Sachin Tendulkar failed in the World cup one dayer against the Bangladesh cricket team, the cricket critics said that Sachin failed against the Bangladesh cricket minnows.

When Sachin Tendulkar has scored two consecutive centuries against the Bangladesh cricket team, the argument is going to be that Sachin Tendulkar is taking advantage of playing minnows like the Bangladesh cricket team to further his records

What is Sachin Tendulkar supposed to do?Maybe next time Sachin Tendulkar should hit a century in one test and get bowled for zero in the second test so that he satisfies both kinds of cricket critics!

Sachin Tendulkar's test cricket centuries mean that it is time for Ian Chappell to eat his words

Ian Chappell's arguments for Sachin Tendulkar's retirement were weird in the first place. Ian Chappell felt that Sachin Tendulkar needed to retire from Indian test cricket simply because Sachin was not longer the best in the cricket world.

Sachin Tendulkar may still not be the best in international cricket yet, but he is surely an important asset to the Indian cricket team

Sachin Tendulkar teaches you to bat

Sachin Tendulkar's straight drive is a sign that there is a God

If you ever doubted that God exists, you should see Sachin Tendulkar's straight drives. Sachin Tendulkar's straight drives are made in .. heaven

Check out Sachin Tendulkar's great straight drive against Wasim Akram

Sachin Tendulkar unleashes an amazing straight drive off Wasim Akram's bowling. Indian cricket's other great,Anil Kumble can see that he has been lucky to witness a great shot by Sachin Tendulkar

Mahendra Singh Dhoni needs to bat at number 3

The only reason Mahendra Singh Dhoni is batting at number 7 is that wicketkeepers usually bat at number 7. :-)
Its stupid that Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a match winner is batting late in the batting order. The earlier self-styled "Guru" coach of the
Indian cricket team,Mr. Greg Chappell, was really underutilizing Dhoni's potential

If Mahendra Singh Dhoni is really among the top ten batsmen in the world, Dhoni should bat up the order,at number 3.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni needs the support of the Indian cricket captain and coach

Players with raw talent like Mahendra Singh Dhoni need the support of the Indian cricket coach and captain.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been underutilized so far in his career and needs to be given ample opportunities so that he can play
to his potential

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's greatest worry- satisfying the expectations of the Indian cricket fan

The Indian cricket fan expects Mahendra Singh Dhoni to hit a century in every match and a six of every ball.

As Sachin Tendulkar has found out,much to his chagrin, one failure in an important match can wipe off all of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's greatest
achievements

Its easier for Mahendra Singh Dhoni to play Brett Lee than satisfy the Indian cricket fan

Sachin Tendulkar should play the 2011 cricket World cup

Sachin Tendulkar should play the 2011 cricket World cup

Sachin Tendulkar has been the mainstay of the Indian cricket team for the last seventeen years. Emotionally, it hurts me when people,instigated by self-styled cricket Gurus and their various siblings,ask for Sachin Tendulkar's retirement

Sachin Tendulkar has given up so much for Indian cricket that the Indian cricket fans are just not being fair

Sachin Tendulkar is still Indian one day cricket's best player

Despite Sachin Tendulkar's past achievements,I would be the first to agree that Sachin Tendulkar should retire from Indian cricket, if there is a better player in India to replace him

The point is that there is no Indian cricket player as good as Sachin Tendulkar in the country.Arguably, Rahul Dravid is a better batsman than Sachin Tendulkar but Rahul Dravid's recent one day international cricket record is quite poor

Also,Sachin Tendulkar bowls ten overs of his medley of off spin,leg spin and medium pace in every one day international cricket match. Sachin Tendulkar, the spinner, is often a better bowler than even Anil Kumble on a turning track

In summary,for Sachin Tendulkar to be replaced, Indian cricket needs a cricketer who bats at a one day international cricket average of 43 and bowls during the opposition's slog overs

Sachin Tendulkar should keep playing for India, until a better Indian player replaces him

Ian Chappell's argument that Sachin Tendulkar should retire, since Brian Lara is apparently better than him, is a stupid argument. Sachin Tendulkar needs to play as long as he can contribute to Indian cricket and no better Indian cricketer can replace him

Who is Ian Chappell to tell Sachin to retire?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Indian cricket

Every jerk in the country and outside seems to think that there is something wrong with Indian cricket and "something" needs to be done about it

The BCCI needs to avoid this precise knee jerk stupid reaction to Indian cricket

Who is Ian Chappell to tell Sachin to retire

Ian Chappell is just another smart guy who says something controversial and keeps himself in the news (and gets invited by the stupid Indian media) for his "insightful" (ha!) comments.

There is nothing wrong with Sachin Tendulkar- he is playing perfectly well. Look at Sachin Tendulkar's average over the last year and you will see that Sachin Tendulkar's average is better than even Ricky Ponting's average. Surprised? You should be surprised , given the nonsense that the Indian media is feeding you

Inzamam said it best-the subcontinent's media does not support the teams

Look at the way the Australian media reacts to every Australian cricket team's loss. The Australian loss is always either blamed on the umpiring, the bad pitch or the hostile overseas crowds! The Australian cricketers can do absolutely nothing wrong

In contrast, the Indian media would criticize even a match winning innings by Sachin Tendulkar- he didn't rotate the strike , for example.

Look at Ian Chappell's criticism of Sachin Tendulkar's almost match winning double hundred against Australia- he criticizes Sachin for not using his talent,but using sheer determination and focus to score runs. The same Ian Chappell is now saying that Sachin lacks determination but has talent..Please dont listen to these so-called Gurus - including the current Australian coach of Indian cricket

Sachin Tendulkar should never be dropped

Sachin Tendulkar should never be dropped from the Indian cricket team

Sachin Tendulkar should never be dropped from the Indian cricket team. It hurts and pains me to hear about Sachin Tendulkar being summarily dropped from the Indian cricket team.

Sachin Tendulkar is a crunch time player for the Indian cricket team

The most common complaint about Sachin Tendulkar nowadays is that he is not a crunch match cricket player and tends to succumb under pressure.But, that argument about Sachin Tendulkar is really flawed

The perception about Sachin Tendulkar's so-called failures for the Indian cricket team is influenced by two factors- Our large expectations from Sachin Tendulkar and his batting position

Since Sachin Tendulkar opens the Indian team's cricket innings or bats at number four,any good innings by Sachin Tendulkar is not noticed and taken as part of the course and nothing extraordinary.

Have you ever wondered what would happened if Sachin Tendulkar had failed in those cricket innings when he scores centuries?

If Sachin Tendulkar scored a century for the Indian cricket team against Bangladesh, people would have said that Sachin Tendulkar scores only against minnows

Sachin Tendulkar is now in a non-enviable lose-lose scenario in Indian cricket.If Sachin Tendulkar had scored against the Bangladesh cricket team and if the Indian cricket team had scored a facile win, the Indian cricket media would have taken potshots at Sachin saying he picked an opportunity to score against a minnow cricket team
