Sir Sachin Tendulkar - The Greatest Cricketer Ever

8-)

I request the powers that be (mods) to kindly look the other way when we react to imbeciles spewing their critical crap on non-issues about Sachin

Sachin Tendulkar - 8.5
Sachin Tendulkar began the series on the verge of becoming the highest run-scorer in Test cricket and, during the course of achieving the landmark, he made important contributions when his team was vulnerable. His gritty 49 in the final innings in Bangalore helped India bat out the final day to save the Test; his 88 in Mohali came after three wickets had fallen for 17 runs; his 68 in Delhi helped India recover from 27 for 2; and his 109 in Nagpur consolidated the innings after a top-order wobble. He was as reliable as ever in the middle-order and was the second highest run-scorer of the series with 396 runs at an average of 57.

Lets list! Shots:
1. The Pull (first 10-12 years)
2. The straight (On) Drive
3. Flick
4. Cover drive
5. Late cut
6. Paddle sweep
7. Six over the slips' head :?

I don't think any thing can be more demoralizing to a bowler (that too a McGrath) than pulling him over mid-wicket with such grace and ease. Watch out for the cover drive the very next ball. Genius at work :bow:

Best OD innings:
Tough to soose one. One has to pick one from the following i guess...


Sharjah qualifier, 98
Sharjah final, 98
WC 2003 vs Pak
One match in Gwalior (he made 90-something) in our last series against Pakistan
CB series finals performance-um kanakkula eduthukkalaam but not the VERY BEST...

naduvula neraya miss panren.. pl add... (tough to beat the bolded ones though, IMO)

8.square cut

sand storm innings - the one which put him as the undisputed superstar of his era :cool:

Another innings that comes to my mind immediately is the 6th ODI (at headingly??) against England last year. Chasing 320+ thalaivar chummA pOlanthu kattvuaaru. Gets out for 90+. Sach/Ganguly opening partnership 180 or something. Uthappa finally won it. There were some nice comments on that innings by us, hubbers :P
