Don't see that as a rivalry. Even Kabil criticizes Sachin at times. But there is a difference when it comes to defending the champions. Ian C always uses every opportunity to focus AUS Players even if Sachin is doing well. Same goes to english players. I don't see that kind of attitude from Viv. We should also see his comments on Lara from a different perspective. He came from an era when WI was dominating. So, it is natural.Quote:

ya.. Ian C doesn't like S.Waugh. He said he ran out of ideas even before the Kolkata match and praised Ponting. That's OK nga if we follow Ian C's posts. My point is that Viv goes "out of the way" to praise Sachin and you can "see what he feels" from his eyes :) Praising some outsider is not for everyone
It's freaking embarrassing . Again playing across the wicket to an incoming ball.
He's just playing the shot too early in the innings. Just too early. You would need some time in the middle to actually go for that. And for the others saying the man's slowed up. I would just say he's not sticking to the basics of settling in and then going for an across the line shot. The rain break really spoiled the momentum. Looked much better this time. The big problem is that there will be another 2 month break before the resumption of test cricket and he's gonna come out all rusty again. Chuck the IPL and the CL T20s I say and play some ODIs in between just to get some form....
Tendulkar was quite frustrated with himself, he raised his bat at the stumps and then suppressed his anger
:-(
Madhu has this stat: "The last time Tendulkar was out bowled in three consecutive innings was in England in 2002 when he was dismissed by Matthew Hoggard, Dominic Cork and Michael Vaughan."
too cold coming into this series..need some Ranji time to get back his batting rhythm.
Just hope he comes out of this. Seriously this is embarrassing and with the new age youngsters vying for a spot in test cricket, his place might be questioned even more.
+1....has been included in the Mumbai Ranji squad, hasn't heQuote:
