All Blame on Sachin???????Is it
I always see people raising this question,Sachins century never ends up with Indian wins..is it true..yea it has a bit of truth..but let us just see those centuries at a glance and see...is the general remark true..

Out of 41 centuries he has scored it has resulted in an Indian win for 15 matches and 17 were drawn and 9 ended up in loosing cause.

He avgs a staggering 64.88 for all the matches India has not lost.

Centuries against Australia which has gone vain
Now let us look into matches where his century has resulted in an Indian Loss.
Lets take the 4 centuries he has scored against Australia,which has ended in loss
1.Played against Australia,Ground, Perth, on 1,-5 February 1992
Sachins score==>114
India Losses by 300 Runs.Sachin scores 114, rated many as the best innings seen.The notable point is the second highest scorere was Kiran More 43 runs.
MOM:Mike Whitney
2.Played against Australia,Ground Bangalore, on 25-29March 1998
Sachin Scores ==>177 &31 in second innings
India lose by 9 wickets.Sachins highest score for a losing cause.After helping the team score 424 in the first innings,if we still lose the match is it this mans fault.u decide.by the way the second highest scorer was sidhu with 74.
MOM Kasparoviz,MOS:sachin
3.Played against Australia Ground melbourne on 26-30 December 1999
Sachin Scores==> 116 in first innings and 52 in second innings
India Lose by 180 runs
Sachin as captain does all he could,the next top scorere for india was H.kanithkar the debutant with 45.This loss is also because of sachin.pity pity
MOM :Sachin Tendulkar
4.Played against Australia Ground Sydney 2-6 January 2008
Sachin scores 154 not out and 12
India lose by 122 runs
Many can blame on the poor umpiring and all others,but i would put the blame squarely on India,2 overs to go 3 wickets in hand score 210 for 7,Indian tail collapses to part time spinner Michael clarke and end the innings with the same score 210 all out....this match is also lost because of sachin..what can one do more than this.
MOM:Andrew Symonds

Against ENGLAND
5.Played against England, Birmingham, from-6-10 June match)
Sachin Scores ==>24 in the first inningss and 122 in the second innings
India Lose by 8 wickets.

The second highest scorer in that second innings when sachin scored 122 was 18 by sanjay manajrekar.How in the world can he be blamed for such pathetic performance from the team.

MOM :Nasser Hussain

Against New Zealand
6.Played against New Zealand, Wellington, 26-30 December
Sachin scores==> 47 in the first innings,113 in the second innings and take 2 wickets for the cost of 8 runs
What more can a batsman do more than this in low scoring match..yet all the blame on sachin..he never wins you matches..The only other player who did contribute was Azhar with a fighting century in the first innings

Against South Africa
7.Played against SA, Cape Town, from 2-6 January 1997
SA win by 282 runs
Sachin scores ==> 169 ,a flamboyant fighting century only to be dismissed as the last batman by an adam Bacher magic at the ropes.All other batsmen capitulated like 9 pins apart from Azhar and India lost the match with ease.

Blame it on sachin...He is no good..he should have scored 300 batting with the tail..

8.Played against SA, Bloemfontein, 3-7 November 2001
SA win by 9 wickets
Sachin scores ==>155 in the first innings and along with century from sehwag takes india to 378...But what followed was great display of fast bowling and great fielding and India lost by 9 wickets...put the blame again on this man...easiest thing in the cricket world...

Against Pakistan
9.Played agaisnt Pakistan Chepauk, Chennai, from 28-31 January 1999
Sachin scores ==>136 runs chasing a modest 271 in the last innings.The second highest run scorere for india was Mongia with 52..Sachin departs when India need 15 runs more with score on 256..the great Indian tail wagged and score 2 runs...we lost the match by 14 runs..this is called team effort...But at the end of the day..again the blame falls on sachin...pathetic player..no good in finsihing the match..


This is to all sachin fans who at some instance had to face this blame game...."Sachin never makes india win"..this questions will come across again and many a time...

Happy new year...

And to all sachin fans who are putting threads to degrade other stars...please stop as that in hand is just like degrading this community as a whole.
