*** Official *** Tendulkar criticism thread

International Coach
Doesn't retire from Test cricket, thus unfairly denying opportunities for younger players.

Doesn't play every ODI, thus unfairly forcing younger players to play in his stead.

Ashwin could probably go on a really long rant if we could get ahold of him.

Has never made a Test 250 - Something that Faoud Bacchus, Dave Houghton, Bryan Young and Tip Foster managed to do in less than half the matches combined that Sachin has played in. If only they were given as many chances as Sachin eh.. I mean Tendulkar has had 311 chances to make over 250 and he's failed each time.

1. has looked a little dodgy with his technique ever since Gary Kirsten stopped giving him the throwdowns

2. has never had a run of form like 25 other batsmen had, according to ICC all-time batting rankings (which is a meaningless ranking IMO, but still).

3. doesn't have a 250 in tests, and with every passing match looks unlikelier to drag his test average towards 60

4. never took his bowling seriously

5. is not the ideal batsman in the 4th innings chases outside SC

6. had a mental block against McGrath in the 90s, so didn't do against McGrath as good as he should have in that time - poked at seemingly harmless deliveries outside off-stump too often against him (the same deliveries IMO that he left so easily against other bowlers)

7. isn't as good in defense as Gavaskar or Boycott as a whole, in spite of possessing as good defensive technique as the two IMO

8. isn't as good in offense as Lara or Sobers as a whole (considering test matches alone), in spite of possessing as good offensive technique as the two IMO

Who said you had to be only sarcastic/humorous in this thread? Bring on true criticism too.
