being the great batsmen he is, why has sachin tendulkar become a bunny of Glenn mcgrath? is he mentally weak?

sachin is only termed as the best batsman in the world is because he is PERFECT technically and he has played a lots of matches and scored a lot of runs BUT he is not a match winner\nthe only time i saw india win a match against his guidance was against the australians at sharjah\nin 300 odd matches he has played most of the time for his centuries only seldom has his centuries profited india in their wins\nas glenn mcgrath goes he is indeed ONE OF the greatest baller and is amatch winner

Ability wise I didn't see much difference. The difference really was temperament. Why else would have Vishy's career peter down? His bro-in-law, Sunny however excelled till the end. A 96 on a crumbling wicket in his last innings. And a glorious 188 against the MCC XI in his last first class match. (A second innings duck too BTW).\n\nVishy started off well...till everything for him stated going haywire.

i dont think tht he can score the double in onedayers as he has not been able to show the same explosive & charismatic batting since a couple of years \ntalking of the triple i guess he can do it only if he does bat with a positive frame of mind

no I really feel sorry for him. I dont think he deserves to be insulted like this. I hate that greg chappel. Now dadas under a lot of pressure. He's not the only one who's not in form, what about sehwag , sachin n even dravid at times. i really feel sorry for him

HE IS TECHNICALLY GOOD.\nBUT..\nWE NEED A FLYING START PROVIDING BATSMAN.\nWHILE PLAYING AGAINST UNDERDOGS HE WILL BE A IDEAL.\nBUT IF IT IS A DEAD OR ALIVE SITUATION,IN KNOCK OUT STAGE HE IS NOT THE WISE CHOICE.

Glenn McGrath is highly unlikely to play in any of the one-dayers during Australia's tour of South Africa which starts later this month. However, he has yet to announce his non-participation in the three Tests that follow the ODIs. "I doubt he would be going," Warren Craig, his manager, said . "He might have changed his mind over the weekend, but I think it is doubtful." \n\nMcGrath has been excused from playing in the VB Series finals against Sri Lanka to be with his wife Jane, who has had further complications from breast cancer. \n\nMcGrath, 36 last week, is understood to have told Trevor Hohns, chairman of selectors, that he would be unavailable for the first part of the South African tour. Craig said there was little chance McGrath will be announced in the one-day touring squad later this week. The selectors met on Monday to choose the touring side but are unlikely to announce it until after Tuesday's deciding one-day final at Brisbane. \n\nMcGrath wrote in his newspaper column last week that he did not intend to retire from international cricket. "Cricket does become a distant consideration at this time, but it's still a major part of our lives," he wrote." We have been through this before so we know what's in front of us and what we need to do to win the battle." \n\nJane McGrath has started radiotherapy treatment after being re-diagnosed with breast cancer. She had previously undergone surgery in her battle against the disease.

Two decades after laying waste the reputations of some fine bowlers, the reality of growing up came to Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar in the form of a condition now famous as Tennis Elbow. The injury cast him out of cricket for so long that when he finally picks up the bat for the Challenger series in a few days, it will be remembered as a resurrection. \nhe used to be called McEnroe by his middle-class cricketing friends as a tribute to his strange hairstyle.Player politics has never concerned him. Every single passing moment during his break, all he has been thinking of is getting back into the centre of that uproarious stadium where sportsmen and fans unite without ever meeting their eyes. To achieve this end, he has been following a strict fitness regimen. The 6-am wakeup is now an 8-o'clock rising. A quick glance at the papers, bath and breakfast and the champion is in company of his physical trainer at a gym in a five-star hotel by 10. Two and half hours of workout, and he is back home for a shower. Lunch at 1.30, a little rest, play with kids or other engagements would follow. \n\nDinner is almost always a private affair at home or out in the company of family or very close friends. A clear seafood lover, his favourite accompaniment is a good red wine. He has been busy flicking television channels too. Apart from the usual cricket and Formula-One action, he's hooked on to an American serial. \n\n\n\n"I enjoy watching television and of late I've been watching the serial '24' starring Keifer Sutherland and Sarah Clarke with a lot of interest," he says, sporting an impish smile. But Tendulkar is not domesticated yet. His family knows that he stays at home with a nagging wish to do something better outside. \n\n"Actually, nobody wants me to sit at home. They all know that I don't like it. In fact my mother, my wife, my brothers and sisters have all been praying for me to recover as quickly as possible and be back on the cricket field," he says and that's exactly what is going to happen in less than a fortnight. \n\nHe appears to have a clear view of his future, a long future in his opinion. He believes that self-improvement is not an unending process. It has a natural upper limit. \n\nBut the "thinking" can change, he says, and it is this thought that defines a sportsman after he reaches the pinnacle of his abilities. "Once a cup of tea is full you cannot fill in anymore tea," he says, referring to the nature of talent. "But you can definitely change the temperature." THIS HIS HOW S.R.T HIS

Although sachin has been out of form for quite some time but he still has the class of a great player. All batsmen go through a period of being out of form.\n\nI will rate BC Lara as the number one batsman because he has been more consistent against the top teams. When ever he scores runs, he scores lots of them.\nbreaking the highest indivisual total twice is really speaking of his greatness.

How can you say that Dravid is a soft man when his performance as a batsman has been outstanding for the last 3-4 years ! I think he is under a lot of additional pressure from the Coach which he is finding very difficult to handle.

if Pathan is not scoring more runs and not bowling well, do you ask this question. don't rely how fair a bowler or batsman. people still like him because of his attitude and ability as an all-rounder.

Any chances? Are u kidding? How can India go to World Cup without the best batsman Sachin? Sachin is out of form at present. Soon he will come back to form and he will be the star of next World Cup

ITS NOT JUSTICE TO COMPARE A BATSMAN WITH A BOWLER.\nTHE COMPARISON WILL NOT BE A PERFECT ONE.\n\nTHEY ARE THE LEGENDS IN THEIR AREA.

sourav aint carryin' a gud attitude..agreed! but i really dun think d cricket board shud treat him d way they hv in d recent past..puttin him in and out so frequently knowingly dat he's d most successful captain India has ever produced..includin' him in tests and not in ODI's when dey know he's made 10,000+ runs in d latter form of d game... how can u expect him to perform at his best today whn he's again knocked of d one-day squad yes'day???

I feel atleast no one in indian cricket(till now) can be compared to sachin...ofcource many of the young players(dhoni etc..) might possess a few of his qualities(Agression)...but where can they be able to get the ability and experstise(decision in hitting balls).....for some time agreed that they are some how equivalent to sachin....but but will they be able to get a beautiful doctor as Anjali(he he)...sachin's early records are the best answers to all such questions.\n\n:)

As a cricketer - bloody good spin bowler, but a bit on the pudgy side..\n\nAs a bloke - total moron. he could have led a fantastic life and had everything he wanted but he screwed that up majorly!

Sachin Tendulkar is a legend of the game of cricket. He is one of the best batsman of all time. It is not easy to replace such great players. Having 1 good year is not enough to be a replacement for the master blaster. so i dont think that he should retire from cricket india needs him & sachin is going no where.
