NOTHING TO WORRY
Threat to Sachin was just an intel faux pas
Soumittra S Bose | TNN
Nagpur: It is one incident that would raise a fresh question mark over the ‘intelligence inputs’ that various agencies routinely receive. On Sunday, the Nagpur police tightened the security arrangements being made for the Indian and Australian teams arriving in the city on Monday for the fourth Test.
This was done in view of specific intelligence input that terrorist outfit JeM might try to target Sachin Tendulkar. This was carried by a section of the media and understandably raised concerns everywhere. However, by Monday, city police chief Praveen Dixit had a lot of explaining to do.
Apparently, the city police’s special branch which looks after the intelligence gathering and interpretation had goofed up by dusting up an old 2006 memo and circulating it as new. Dixit told the media there was no threat to any player or team. “The security arrangement has been drawn up keeping the general threat perception in view which existed from the first day of the series and not just the test match in the city,” he said.
It turned out that the SB had managed to dig out a ‘threat’ of 2006 when central intelligence and interrogation details of some suspects in 7/11 bomb blast in Mumbai had indicated that there was a threat on Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Mukesh Ambani. Tendulkar’s security was stepped up following the report.
Intelligence department had learnt in 2004 that outfits like JeM wanted to kidnap Tendulkar and former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly and use them to free two jailed militants. This JeM threat was included by SB while alerting the city police for security arrangements to be made for the Test match beginning on Friday. The message was copied from the old 2006 document. It urged all police stations to remain on high alert about a possible terror attack. Interestingly, the message this time does not mention Ganguly though he is very much a part of the team and was subject of earlier threat. Dixit clarified the situation in a press conference at Police Gymkhana on Monday.
Special Branch, which is responsible for alerting police stations and set up the guidelines for security arrangement prior to any big event, is known to have followed its age-old tradition of simply copying the old pattern while issuing messages.
An assistant police inspector in SB is learnt to have put up the two-year-old input without updating for signature by DCP of zone-I Suresh Mekala, who holds additional charge of special branch. The fact remains that though it contained something as dramatic as that, it was signed unquestioningly by the senior officer too. City police spokesperson ACP Madhuri Godse parried media queries about it saying the matter was of administrative nature and media should have nothing to do with it.
A Story a Day - All about Sachin
No.2
The year was 1989, the little master had recently made his debut in Pakistan. Sachin not even old enough to get a driving licence Sachin Tendulkar was facing the best bowlers in the business. As the Pakistani crowds jeered and mocked Sachin holding out the placards saying ""Dudh Pita Bhachcha ..ghar jaake dhoodh pee", (hey kid, go home and drink milk), Sachin sent the then young leg spinner Mustaq Ahmed hiding for cover (he had hit two sixes in one over. The frustaded mentor of Mustaq Ahmed the legendary Abdul Qadir challenges Sachin saying "Bachchon ko kyon mar rahe ho? Hamein bhi maar dikhao` (`Why are you hitting kids? Try and hit me.`).
Sachin was silent, since then we all have come to know that he lets his bat do the talking. Abdul Quadir had made a simple request and Sachin obliged, and how. Sachin hit 4 sixes in the over, making the spinner look like a kid in the contest. The over read 6, 0, 4, 6 6 6, David had felled Goliath ... and a legend was born.
P.S: The match was not official. The official one-dayer had been abandoned because of bad light and a 20-over exhibition match organised instead.

Sachin: The iron man of India
Sachin in his 20-year career, faced both his admirers and critics with equal respect, but do we give him the respect he deserves? A man of his class, lets his bat do the talking. He surpassed Lara to cross the 12000 run mark in test cricket.
ON MARCH 19, 2006, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, India’s favourite son was booed on his way back to the dressing room by the crowd at the Wankhede. His sin was that after 17 years in the game and 132 test matches, he was out on the 21st ball, scoring just one run. The media had turned hostile. Everyone wanted him to declare his innings as a player. All his perseverance and dedication of years was buried six feet under, when his home crowd disrespected him. Some wrote his failure in the last eleven test knocks as pathetic or tragic. His flawless stroke play was over-burdened by talks of his dismissals.
On October 18, 2008, exactly two years and six months later, Sachin re-wrote history. A man of his class, remains quite and lets his bat do the talking. He surpassed Brian Lara and became the first player to cross the 12000 run mark in test cricket. Now, every Indian has praises and accolades fom him. The stadium at Mohali was buzzing with the chants of ‘Sachin’. Speculations of his retirement have vanished and now everyone in a jiffy wants him to play the next world cup. Media is going frenzy about Sachin and his stroke play. As Sachin reached the predictable 12000 mark, he looked at the heavens and bowed down to the almighty. He remains as humble as he was when he hit his first century. After 16000 one day runs and 12000 test runs, the little maestro continues to strive for newer heights and toils to be perfect in his already flawless stroke play. With every record broken and history rewritten again and again, the short man from Mumbai stands tall and taller.
I’m one of those fans who watch a match for Sachin. I used switch off the television set when Sachin got out and even today, I continue to watch a match till Sachin bats. I keep my fingers crossed and continue sending prayers for his success. On his every stroke, I utter a few tips, as if it would help him in his shots. Over the lost two decades, Sachin has been the captain of the Indian ship and most teams felt that if they get Sachin’s wicket, half the battle is won.
The little master has gone about doing his job day in and day out without being into controversies.
But such is the irony of the Indian public that they do not respect the sheer class of the player he is. The view of the media and the public keeps changing with the changing times and the talent remains unrecognised to some extent. The little man, from being Sachin has gone to be the ’God of the Game’ and we still fail to salute his greatness. When will the media and the public give him the respect he deserves? We need to understand that he has selflessly served the country and disrespecting him is like disrespecting the nation.
Sachin is a global ambassador of this country and he is above the normal human touch. In the true sense, he is god’s gift to India. We need to keep faith in him and be happy for what he has achieved. Our expectations should be controlled and all decisions should be left to him. Whether it is playing the next world cup or retiring next year is completely his choice.
Sachin has had his ups and downs and he surely will retire but we need to let him take the call, for the manner in which he likes to bow down.
Tendulkar, Sehwag may return to ODI squad :redjump:
SNS & Agencies
NAGPUR, Nov. 4: Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag (In Photo), who missed the previous One Day Internationals series in Sri Lanka, are set to return to the Indian limited overs squad when the national selectors meet here tomorrow to name the team for the seven-match series against England starting on 14 November at Rajkot.

Born champions
They say champions are born, not made. Just like Lewis Hamilton. A look at some prodigies who have lived up to their promise, like the British F1 driver.
Sachin Tendulkar
At 35, Sachin Tendulkar has almost every batting record to his name. His greatness was predicted even when he was playing for his school team. He was thrown to the wolves, as a 16-year-old making his international debut against a ferocious Pakistan bowling attack. That was back in 1989, where he also scored his first Test half-century. 19 years hence, India’s greatest batsman, second only to Don Bradman has made all prophesies come true and gone further than any man before.

England in India 2008-09
Tendulkar set to return for England ODIs
Nagraj Gollapudi
November 4, 2008
Sachin Tendulkar is likely to make the squad for the first three ODIs against England and will partner Gautam Gambhir at the top of the batting order © AFP
Having missed out on the last ODI series in Sri Lanka with an elbow injury, Sachin Tendulkar is likely to return for the seven-ODI series against England starting November 14 in Rajkot. His availability will be one of the key issues of discussion when the selectors meet in Nagpur on Wednesday to announce the squad for the first three one-dayers.
Tendulkar had last featured in an ODI during the CB Series in Australia. A groin injury picked up during the tournament kept him away from the Kitply Cup held in Dhaka and the Asia Cup in Pakistan that followed.
"We haven't heard anything from him yet so we expect him to play," one of the selectors told Cricinfo. This will also be the first time the selectors, headed by Kris Srikkanth, will be appointing an ODI squad; they had picked the Test squad to face Australia.
From the squad that featured in Sri Lanka, Irfan Pathan is likely to be dropped given his lean form this season. As an allrounder, he doesn't have a strong case, scoring 105 at 17 in his last seven innings and picking up 10 wickets at almost 47 in the nine games he has played since the Kitply Cup. Though he was the third-highest wicket-taker in the Challenger Trophy, the selectors will be hard-pressed to pick him unless captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni supports his case.
S Badrinath, who was Tendulkar's replacement in Sri Lanka, is expected to retain his place in the squad. While Tendulkar is likely to partner Gautam Gambhir at the top, the others to follow include Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Dhoni and Virender Sehwag (not necessarily in that order) which leaves a place for another batsman.
Virat Kohli, who played in Sri Lanka, is expected to fill that slot, over Robin Uthappa and Yusuf Pathan. Kohli proved his mettle when he adapted well as an opener in Sri Lanka and has impressed both Dhoni and the new selection committee.
Though Uthappa has been in solid form since the start of this season he might have to show a bit more patience. He was dropped after scoring 37 in three games during the Asia Cup but topped the run charts in the Challenger Trophy and followed that with a century on his first day as Karnataka captain in the Ranji Trophy against Railways.
In the bowling department, the selectors may rest either Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma considering the packed international calendar. Ishant was rested from the ODIs in Sri Lanka after he picked up an injury during the third Test. Munaf Patel will be the third seamer and Praveen Kumar's ability to swing on the Indian pitches might help him retain his position in the squad. RP Singh, who played in Sri Lanka, is likely to be left out after his disappointing figures in the last three series - 11 wickets at 30 .
Amit Mishra is favoured over Pragyan Ojha to be Harbhajan Singh's support act. The selectors' confidence might come from Mishra's decent outing during the IPL for Delhi Daredevils and, of course, his form in the current Test series.
India ODI squad (probable): Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt & wk), Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, S Badrinath, Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Munaf Patel, Amit Mishra/Pragyan Ojha.

Tendulkar rested for first three ODIs vs England
The Associated Press
NAGPUR, India: Sachin Tendulkar will be rested from the opening three matches of the seven-game one-day cricket series against England starting next week after India named a 15-man squad Wednesday.
Tendulkar has not played in the one-day international side since the tri-series victory over Australia in March, but the selectors granted his wish for a break.
"Considering the hectic schedule ahead and the amount of cricket he has already played this season, Sachin Tendulkar requested that he be rested for the first three ODIs," Indian board secretary N. Srinivasan said in a statement. "The selectors accepted his request."
A groin injury ruled Tendulkar out of series in Bangladesh and Pakistan earlier in the year and he suffered a left-elbow problem during the test campaign against Sri Lanka in August, preventing him from taking part in the one-day matches.
Tendulkar has scored a world-record 16,361 runs in 417 one-day internationals, with 42 centuries. Opener Virender Sehwag, who twisted his left ankle during the Sri Lanka tour, was also included in the squad that will be led by wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Murali Vijay, the Tamil Nadu batsman who has been called into the fourth-test squad, was also included along with Gautam Gambhir, who he replaces in Nagpur. Gambhir is suspended for the match for elbowing Australian Shane Watson in the third test in New Delhi.
India, currently ranked No.3, beat Sri Lanka 3-2 on its tour there in August after being runners-up to the same team in the Asia Cup held in Karachi in July.
England will arrive in Mumbai on Thursday and will play practice matches against a team from Mumbai on November 9 and 11. The first one-day international starts in Rajkot on November 14, while the two-test series begins in Ahmedabad on December 11.
Fifth-ranked England beat South Africa 4-0 at home in the one-day international series in September, but its players suffered a setback to morale with a thumping defeat in a Twenty20 exhibition against the Stanford Superstars in Antigua on Saturday.
The team of West Indian players collected US$1m each for the victory while England went home empty handed.

India one-day squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, Ishant Sharma, Pragyan Ojha, Rudra Pratap Singh, Virat Kohli, Murali Vijay. England one-day squad: Kevin Pietersen (capt), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Paul Collingwood, Alastair Cook, Andrew Flintoff, Steve Harmison, Samit Patel, Matt Prior, Owais Shah, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swann, Luke Wright.

sachin , australia , last test , amazing record
sachin has a amazing record vs aussies in last test match of a test series ( of more than 1 test )
1992 - india was beaten and thrashed , parth track was very fast those days ..all indian batsman were clueless but a 18 year old stod up with some mangificiant back-foot punches and on drives ..makes 114 off 160 balls ....india looses with a big margin but a world beater is born
1998 - india has already won the series but sachin gives taylor and warne more nightmares with 177 off 207 balls ....after the test warne , govin rabertson meet prasna ..first question they ask pras is " how to bowl to sachin " ?
1999-2000 sachin makes a wtachfull start but wickets start falling very quickly ...sachin decides to counter-attacks and hit 3 4's in one mcgrath over before getting a rough decision on 45
2001 - one of the geatest series of all time ...series level 1-1 before going into chennai where sachin against hits a 100 .....126 off 229 balls ..gets to 100 with 6 (4thj time , a wowld record )..one of sachin's underratted 100 ...vs full strength aussies attack ( mcgrath , warne , dizzy )
2003 - makes a watchfull 241 to make sure that tugga never ever forgets him ....doesn't plays a single cover drive ....another underrated knock ..had umipiring been correct in second innings of aussies ..this knock would have been termed as the one which beated aussies in their den first time in 11 year..unfortunately too much remember fir risk minimalisation
2004 - series gone but india had pride to play for ..on a bowler pradise after being too booged down in first innings decides to counter -atack ..55 off 80 balls
2007-2008 makes 153 to make sure india doesn't looses this test ...off just 200 balls

How many of u heard this when mark nicholas made this coment on sachin during 3rd test on last day
"almost half an hour ago there were not plenty of people in stadium but as the news has spread around that sachin is set , plenty have come to worship tendulkar "
:D
Hope this one triggers a useful discussion.
Many critics / pundits (so called ) often bash SRT saying that whenever a Tendulkar hits a 100 the team loses in both forms of the game. So I tried to compile the stats on sachins 100's either away or at home and thier loss/win results.
Sachin/ODI 100's on a winning cause 30/42 hundreds on a winning cause - Translated to a 71% Indian ODI win result.
Sachin/ODI 100's on a losing cause 12/42 Hundreds on a losing cause - Translated to a 29% Indian ODI loss result.
Sachin /Test scores of 100 or more/ Team result of win / draw - 30/39 Hundreds - Translates to a 76% of Indian Test win / draw results
Sachin /Test scores of 100 or more/ Team result of loss - 9/39 HUNDREDS - Translates to a 24% of Indian Test loss result.
They say he is not a match winner. Cricket is a team sport and one Individual alone can't win a match. It is fair enough to see how the other batsmen performed in those losing matches and how the bowlers performed. One man taking the entire curse for a team's defeat is an attrocity of heavenly proportions. The stats are here for your conclusion.
Hubbers thoughts needed :)
Couple the above post with this piece http://hawkeyeview.blogspot.com/2007...ical-look.html
Tendulkar: A Statistical Look.
I made an interesting observation. Most cricket viewers I speak to have no idea regarding Tendulkar's ODI stats and its relationship with India's ODI stats. So:
ODI:
* India has not lost 271/504 games after Tendulkar's debut [51%].
* Tendulkar has not lost 222/404 games he has played in those 504 games [54%].
* Indian Batting Average in the 504 games after Tendulkar's Debut is 32.0
* Tendulkar's overall batting average in 404 of the 504 games is 44.27 [1.45 times that of India]
* Indian Batting Average when it does not lose matches (those 271 games) after Tendulkar's Debut is 44.8
* Tendulkar's batting average when India has not lost games is 55.81 [1.24 times Indian average]
* India Loses 75% of the games in which Tendulkar fails to reach 30.
* India has not lost 30/41 games where Tendulkar scored a century [73%].
* India has not lost 51/86 games where Tendulkar scored a half-century [60%].
* Rest of India batting order failed to capitalize on Fifty+ starts provided by Tendulkar 46 times.
* 37% of the time Tendulkar provides fifty+ starts Rest of India does not cash in. This contributes to 20% the time India has lost with Tendulkar in the team [46/182].
* India's batting average when it loses is 31.1
* Tendulkar's batting average when India loses is 32.92. [1.05 times ~ same as India average]
P.S: The author is aware of the cliches and proverbs related to statistics.
P.S2: The author believes that if the statistics do not capture the entire truth then the fault lies with the filters/analysis/views applied on those statistics and not the statistic itself.
P.S3: The author does not have sufficient statistical tools to run correlation analysis with oether batsmen/bowlers.
Feddy :clap: But there's nothing to discuss.. Leos and nakeerans are blissfully oblivious to facts on sachin. Their agenda is to read few magazines, note some points, come here and belch (with no background research). We have already wasted so much time on them.
Nerd, Thanks
This thread is to exactly serve the purpose of bashing such false facts and rumour mongers. There was another self proclaimed genius roaming here, Wonder where is he now?. But yeah sachin is still there and most importantly performing and scoring runs!.

The other thing to note is that other player's knock ended up becoming matchwinning, because other players in the team also contribute.
For eg, Bajji to Lax efforts in Kolkatta, Sachin/Saurav to Dravids knock in Headingley.
Whereas on those occasions when Sachin scores and India loses, its the case of rest of the team failing collectively. Yet the criticsm falls on the only member of the team who has played well.... Idhu enda ooru nyayam :banghead: Nowhere in the world, such attrocity be packaged as opinions and discharged in public :x
:shock: Where did the other match winners go on those occasions :lol2:Quote:
