Yes , Tendulkar won lots of ODI except in big Tournament Finals.
He chokes every time in the final. Tell me one final in the last 10 years he singlehandedly won it for india?
I don't think so. he was always a choker. He just made runs when no one cared.
As far parthiv Patel , He blows. That guy is not even good Wk. Most of the reasons Indians suck because of BAD SELECTION by Selctors. India's selction is based upon geography. That its downfall. they want all the players from Bombay Team and delhi Team. It is pathetic. It has been like that for past 50 years.
There are more talented Wicket Keepers with better batting Talent in India , They selcted this dumb ass Patel. That shows what exactly Indian selectors want. They want their relatives in the Team , Like rohan Gavaskar or former cricketers relatives. It is pathetic.
This Indian Team blows.
There is only 4 people who is best in this Indian Team. Sehwag, Dravid, Kaif and Pathan(his mental attitude is good).
Rest all junk. Fillers.
Yeah, This team is good enough to be Average. Thats all. They may win here and there. Never going to win the World Cup. Never again until they these dumb asses field better.
Ganguly dumb ass try to over use DRAVID and does even BAT well. He is not even doing his role as a CAPTAIN well.
All indian batsman will playe better than in any other Team simply because other teams are structred well. The roles are defined clearly. To be a Batsman in Australian team is not that difficult because there is not musch pressure to score big because bowlers win most of their games.
Anyone supporting tendulkar are proven guilty of supporting mentally weak player. (kapil dev single handely won 1983 , Gavaskar won in 1985 benson hedges with his batting and captaincy. Tendulkar so far laid egg in every chance he got.)
Counter Response welcome.
later.
It is very clear that you dont know cricket !!!
Well I'll still reply to ur baseless comments with facts...
Yes , Tendulkar won lots of ODI except in big Tournament Finals.
He chokes every time in the final. Tell me one final in the last 10 years he singlehandedly won it for india?
Sachin fails in finals??
He has featured in 42 completed finals.
India won 22 of these finals.
Sachin averages 67.63 in these victories, with 5 centuries and 5 fifties. See the record
here.
Off the 20
losses India had, Tendulkar averages 25.80 with just 3 50s. Now a stupid like you would say, "see he choked in half the finals" Well so what was the rest of the team doing ??? He won half the finals, isn't that good enough?
India in past was so dependent on him, that if he failed they will lose, andthen people would blame him for loss. Now its not the case anymore. Other team members contribute too, but still it is ridiculous to blame Sachin if India loses.
His record indicates how important he is in finals. Even a 40 or 60 from him goes a long way in ensuring India wins. BTW this doesn't even include some imp WC matches (96, 03) and crucial must-win series or tournament matches he has won. As for single handed wins, look at his 5 100s and WC record, and many many more.. (that can be thread on its own, matches in which Sachin played a lone hand
)
For the record, Sachin has done more for Indian cricket than Kapil or Gavaskar. They didnt win the tournaments u mention single-handedly, they had team support. Everyone did their part, which is wht Ind team is doing now.
And Ganguly has to be the best Indian captain so far (u gotta look at his success) True he seems out of touch with batting, but he is very good captain, and still capable of doing great things (eg: Brisbane and Melbourne Test in 03), 1st ODI in VB Series.
To say there r only 4 good players, and ignore players like Kumble, Yuvraj, Harbhajan, Laxman, (Sachin obviously..) is a joke !!
If you say they r crap, u do not know anything abt cricket mate !!
Over the months Patel has improved, and needs to be given a chance...
