Did Tendulkar Chicken Out ?

[SpeedKing]

"Sachin's controversial dismissal reminded me of a few batsmen who preferred walking off the pitch on their legs rather than being carried away on stretchers when the great Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis were at their brilliant best." - Moin Khan reckons that Tendulkar bottled it at Faisalabad.

Whats our take on this, did Tendulkar walk away deliberately? As the glove was not in contact with the bat , he should know the rules by now that he was not out .........

C'MON, some poor guy has to comtemplate where the ball has pitched?, where he should move his legs? and what shot to play? in about 0.45 seconds and you still expect him to peruse through the laws of batting and determine whether he should walk or not. Yes it was Tendulkar but he is not a robot. The last thing i would be thinking about when facing a fired up Ahktar is bloody rules.

Why would Sachin Tendulkar chicken out that is disgraceful
he's among the best batsman in the world why would he do that
give him a brake
face wasim and waqar and dont back down yourself
In answer to the thread is NO WAY HOSAY

If it was Inzy that walked a food joke could have been made.

Of course he chickened out. Couldn't have been anything else.

But seriously, was Moin Khan high when he said that? He had to have been.

Moin was clearly trying to psyche the opposition out. He aimed to unsettle and ultimately get the response that this thread proves he's gotten.

That was NOT one of Moin Khan's brightest statements.
