Sachin videos nu oru thread start panni anga videos mattum poturalam ... News lam ingayae irukatum ...

You gotta be kidding me SS, Palaya match video va?.

You guys have no idea of what these uploaders(Youtube, megaupload) and in other places have to jump through hoops and upload all these stuff. Some of those guys get their accounts terminated and risk even getting sued with copyright violations in the future. Most of them are vintage stuff. And i have been dropping em here cause LM downloads em all from one place here. One should ask LM how much he would have gathered from here.

When news comes it will come here.

af, u took it as offence.
i know they are precious videos and this is the thread when i spend my times on no-cricket days.. and also have shared this thread link with many of my friends who appreciate the content and amount of information left here...
i only said lets have a seperate thread for his news and updates and keep the videos and uploads here...

also, its not a thoughtful opinion of mine to have seperate threads... most of the times i jump into see an update here i only see an upload of a old match... andha maadhiri oru tharunatthula sonna karutthu adhu....
thappaa edutthukkadheenga...

Of all the batsmen I’ve seen, Tendulkar is greatest: Richards
Port of Spain (Trinidad), June 3, 2011

Batting legend Viv Richards has not seen Sir Donald Bradman but of all those he has seen, including compatriot Brian Lara, none has been better than iconic Indian Sachin Tendulkar.

“I didn’t see Don but to me, in all my years associated with the game, I haven’t seen a better batsman than Sachin Tendulkar,” said Richards in a eulogy to the “little man”, who openly professes to have idolised him while growing up.

“If there is a better batsman than Sachin then he hasn’t arrived yet.”

In one stroke, Richards put Tendulkar in a pedestal above his contemporaries such as Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting and Jacques Kallis and even to the legends such as Sunil Gavaskar and Javed Miandad of his era.

As for Bradman, his career lasted 20 years including a few years disrupted by Second World War. Tendulkar is already in his 22nd year of international cricket. Bradman scored 29 centuries in 52 Tests.

In all formats of the game, Tendulkar has 99 international centuries so far.

“To me the most remarkable thing about Tendulkar is how he has completed the full cycle of his cricketing career, overcoming, pain, agony, failures, fatigue, injuries yet continuing relentlessly till the point the circle was complete.

“He is the most complete package, the cricketer I respect more than anyone else.”

Tendulkar’s absence at Windies

Richards defended Tendulkar’s decision to skip the complete West Indies tour.

“He is 37 and not getting any younger. You have got to respect him for his decision,” said Richards as he turned up for a Johnny Walker promotional event at Queen’s Park Oval on Thursday.

“He has done enough to decide what is best for him. He knows his commitments and the approach he must take for the rest of his career.”

It doesn’t though stop Richards from lamenting how much Tendulkar’s presence could have done to inspire the young cricketers of the Caribbean.

“It would have been fantastic for the young boys to just watch him in action; how he prepares his innings; the way he goes about building his knock, overcoming conditions and opponents.

“It could have been an invaluable experience for our young batsmen.”

Richards said he feels humbled by the respect and love he still generates within the cricket community of India.

“The other day, I was on a flight to London and Gambhir was with me. I was really touched by his curiosity and the keenness he had to know about batting. It’s passion such as this which sets men like him apart. I was really impressed,” he said.

It is ironical though that West Indies Cricket Board isn’t quite inclined to take advantage of their own legend to improve the standard of cricket in the Caribbean.

“It’s a fragile environment. Only strong leaders can accept independent men,” said Richards.

Guys just don't mind me for the next couple of posts as I am just trying to pull together the various Information on series(es) missed playing by tendulkar and the treatments he underwent from the years 2004-07. Any help is widely appreciated in gathering such information and please point out any errors if there may be in these post(s). These particular posts will be edited multiple times based on info gathered.

2004:
Series(es) Missed:
Videocon cup in Holland - ODI Series
ICC Champions Trophy - 2004
Natwest Challenge; 3 ODI's against England in England (2004)
BG Trophy- First 2 Tests

2005:
ICC Super Series - 3 ODI's and 1 Test.
India's Tour to Zimbabwe - 2 Tests and ODI's.
Indian Oil cup (India, West Indies and SL - Tri series in SL)
Videocon Triangular Series (Ind, NZ and Zimbabwe in Zim)
Africa XI vs Asia XI - Now this is a ICC official match which I am inclined to believe that Tendulkar would have qualified in the XI if he was available.

2006:
England in India - ODI - 7 Match series.
India's tour to West Indies - Both 4 Tests and 5 ODI's.
DLF Cup - India, Pakistan in UAE (2 odi's)
