why sachin fails in southafrica?

He's failing, but his perfomance in comparison with rest of the team members is still good. And also the fact he's getting older doesn't help him either.

One can't pin the blame only on Dravid's captaincy. Its a collective irresponsibility. What about the selectors? Why is Sachin in the team...for his current form or for the past records? Why is Shehwag in the team? What is Kaif doing? What role is Pathan's? \nThe much hyped coach also seems to be clueless. Experimenting has reached comic to hopeless proportions. The amount of aggression the coach shows in front of the camera seems to be missing in what he coaches...\nAs far as the players are concerned...no one seems to be in form except an occasional flash in the pan!\nOne billion people, and tons of money with BCCI. Youth hungry for livelihood and career. Can't the BCCI start a grass-root development program and start identifying talent. Cant BCCI make bouncy pitches exclusively for practise ahead of SA/NZ tours?\nAny discussion about cricket has become an intellectual masturbation in the country!!!!

Hey u r question is perfectly right but When u consider during the tenure of Ganguly v have also won matches on the foreign soil too.It is only due to politics involved in cricket it dint win the present series of west indies. The main reason for this is the opening partnership. when Sachin is not there to open with Veeru then Ganguly must be called back into the team. Dravid shouldn't open bcoz as v know dravid is the wall of our team.He must come in the middle order and play upto 35 or 40 overs and rest will be taken care by the other players. As u can see clearly that dravid cannot give a good start,he plays slowly and so he is needed in 25- 40 overs period but not during the opening session of the innings. I think this problem can only be solved if Ganguly is called back and placed as an opener. He is the best and dont forget his records. Every player has a bad tenure in his lifetime and now i think the bad tenure of ganguly has been finished and now he must be called back.

There is not a big difference in their talent. Lara holds the record of highest number of runs scored in first class cricket, 501 not out and in test cricket,400 not out both in or against England. While Sachin holds the record of most numberof ODI Hundreds 40 and test Hundreds 36 highest ODi runs. The first man to pass 20000 international runs and the list never ends. While looking at their career graph, both had their ups and down. Both went to lead the nation but not very successfully. As a player both are outstanding on a day. They can dominate any attack at any part of the world. Lara being left hander has natural eligance while Sachin is unmatchable. To me Sachin shines better and is better than anybody else today in world cricket. Sachin surpasses Lara in handling pressure. Sachin has entertained huge crowd almost all the time he weared blue dress. He has been there for more than 65 % Indian Victory. He has earned the recognition of Sir Don Bradman who considered Sachin as his next generation.What else? Sachin has never misbehaved out of the field like Lara had outing on beaches of UK and was found lying and having fun with English Models. Sachin never played his part in politics while Lara is responsible for early failures of Carl Hooper as his second innings as captain. Sachin has murdered all bowling attacks but has gained applauds from the same opponents like Shane Warne. Sachin has fullfilled the saying that "Form is temperory but Class is permanent." He is the best batsmen in all forms of cricket. Probably Sir Don in this era would be habing same average as Sachin has. Hence I can bet that he is the best player the world has ever seen. On a given day if not with bat, he will perform with ball. Remember Australians given a treat with 5/32 in One Day  when they toured India in 1998. That day Sachin failed with bat but bowled heroically to win man of the match. With his leg spins, googlies, off cutters slow medium pace, he can bowl according to climate and pitch condition. Did Lara ever bowled consistently as Sachin did? Never. Proteas still can't wipe out from their memeory the magic last over by Sachin in Hero Cup SemiFinal of 1996.Sachin always give more than 100% even if he fails to produce a gem of an inning, one can feel his presence. Today in SA, we are hoping that if Sachin scores, we can revert the history. \nSalute to master craftsman!

Sachin Tendulkar great in cricket because he plays very well(before elbow injury). He have scored as many as 25000 runs in international cricket. His average and strike rate is very high. Sometime he bowls also.

Opening bowlers have long been the bane of the Indian cricket team and the reason why they do not get close to the number 1 ranking.  Australia hit number 1 with McGrath and Gillespie and exception support from Kaspa, Bichel or Lee as a first change option.  And of course they had Warne.  South Africa briefly hit the number 1 spot using points from the great Donald career and the emergence of Pollock and Ntini as good opening bowlers.\n\nIndia do not need bowlers who are occassionally good with the new ball, they need bowlers who are constantly good and they could also use a good old ball bowler like Simon Jones.\n\nBatting will avail them nothing, they had an all time great batting lineup in Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman and it still didn't help them win away series.

Full name Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar\nBorn April 24, 1973, Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra\nCurrent age 32 years 334 days\nMajor teams India, ACC Asian XI, Mumbai, Yorkshire\nBatting style Right-hand bat\nBowling style Legbreak googly\nTest debut  Pakistan v India at Karachi - Nov 15-20, 1989 \nODI debut  Pakistan v India at Gujranwala - Dec 18, 1989 \nWisden Cricketer of the Year 1997\n\nBatting averages \nclass---mat--- inns---runs--- hs---- ave \nTests---132--- 211---10469--- 248*---55.39\nODIs----362--- 353---14146--- 186*---44.20\n\n\nWhen he became the first batsman to score 50 hundreds in international cricket, Sachin Tendulkar established himself as the greatest of all Indian cricketers. Recognised by Sir Donald Bradman as his modern incarnation, Tendulkar has a skill - a genius - which only a handful have possessed. It was not a skill that he was simply born with, but one which was developed by his intelligence and an infinite capacity for taking pains. If there is a secret, it is that Tendulkar has the keenest of cricket minds. At times in a Test series he looks mortal. But he learns every lesson, picks up every cue, dominates the opposing attack sooner or later, and nearly always makes a hundred. His bravery was proved after he was hit on the head on his Test debut in Pakistan, when he was only 16; and his commitment to the Indian cause has never been in doubt. If captaincy - or rather the off-field management of men less skilled than himself - was beyond him at his first attempt, his reading of the game, and his manifold varieties of bowling, have shown the same acute intelligence. His cricket has been played in the right way too, always attacking, and because he knew that was the right way rather than because he was a child of the one-day age, as he himself modestly said. The awe of opponents was as great as that of crowds. But the finest compliment must be that bookmakers would not fix the odds - or a game - until Tendulkar was out.

Yes.\nSachin tendulkar has been critisised by many magazine in the recent times. Butwe have to remeber his average is of 44 after 300 matches that shows his consitency. He has quite few records which is likely to remain unbroken. He has changed his way of playing in recent time to adjust to the current team requirements.\n\nSachin was playing big shots when there was no one else to do that and there was no support from other players in that period. Today we have shewag and dhoni, yuvi to play big shot now sachin is showing his experience and playing without risky shots.\n\nWITHOUT SACHIN INDIAN TEAM IS INCOMPLETE.

Comparison can be in different levels. As a player if we check the records, ganguly is not far from Sachin. His 10,000 is more faster than Sachin. Remember sachin has more not outs, so more average. Ganguly is the next batsman in the no of centuries, next to sachin. More over there was a time he scored more centuries(century/match) on an average. But when he stepped out from the opener role to accomodate shewag and sachin, his scoring rate went down.That doesnt mean he was not in form. Let Sachin come down from opening, i dont dare to tell that that will be the end of sachin. Even sachin knew that more than anybody. In this many centuries, if take how many are match winning ones? ONly two innings, that too very old in Sharajah..againist Australia. Apart from those innings sachin cannot one hand effort. He always fells short of his target(I mean India's Target, He always reaches his target, centuries) Take any example, u can see that. So how can he be a better player. He is technically good batsman. Thats all. Now as a captain, Ganguly is beyond comparison with Sachin. He is a good sports man who gave his opener role to another player, for the betterment of the team,but sachin was not ready. That shows he is always aiming in records. So considering all these points, including the things they have done to the mother land, Ganguly is more more better than Sachin, Time is not far, when these duplicate God's mask are going to be ripped.

Sachin made a world record yesterday. He made 35 century in test cricket. Why should he retire?

ahem YES....and to the person who feels India does not win each and every match, that's impossible for any team. Besides the only matches which India have lost in recent past have been ones which they lost because of experimenting with players. the matches they lost to England, srilanka and Pakistan were all experiments. heck i don't even know why were they trying to experiment with the first match in Dubai. their form can be reflected that they were pretty even with south Africa and broke their streak at a time when they were experimenting with a bunch of youngsters and saurav ganguli was creating a lot of rift from outside.

Age is catching up on him and he refuses to accept it. My view is that like Saurav, he has his eyes on the World Cup. Both want to end their career after that. Just look at the talent that we have right now, and to think of it, a year back the whole game would revolve around Sachin. Agreed that he's one of the greatest of his time, but nothing in this world lasts forever.

The problem lies with BCCI and its selection committee. Wrong selection of players and inability to develop players for fast, bouncy foreign pitches. Poor performance of Dravid as a captain.

This is the most upseting thing about India's Cricket team...their fans and the people who support them. Sachin, along with the rest of the sqaud are playing good cricket but the reason they aren't winning is because of the rise of international superstars. The Indian Cricket team needs to look at young talent more often then relying hevaily on three or four big name players. In a magazine I read while in Bombay (India Today) I read an article about a bowler named VJ Sharma who was considered a very good prospect to the team at the age of 19. Now, he is 21 and playing for (I belive its England). He is one of those few talents who packed their bags and decided to play for someone else who reconzied their talents.\n\nAnother thing that ticks me off is the politicains who suggested that the players be paid less if they do not perform as well. I laughed so hard when they said that, I mean c'mon their Indian politicans who get paid and make tons of illicit money and fall asleep in Senate meetings who are suggesting the players get paid less if they loose a game or two.\n\nBasically, its not the teams fault and it is not the coach's fault either, its the recruting...I bet you their are players out their who are very good but do not get a chance to play due to the fact that some current players have connection with politicians and team sponseres (sorry for the speeling error)\n\nITS TIME WE START LOOKING AT OUR OWN INDIAN TALENT AND ALLWING YOUND PLAYERS TO TAKE OVER THE ROLE AS BATSMAN OR BOWLERS, ETC.\n\n\nTo answer your queston I belive he is not a disruvtive image to the indian team...
