Yes, you are right tendulkar scores against minnows at most of time and when the pitch really suits him. He did not help his team nor he scored more than 10 runs when the team needed most. Remember,
at 99 WC, against AUS in super six...Out in 1st ball
at 2003 against AUS in final Out again cheaply
2007 against SRL, the scene continues.........

I really pity his star status..........But those runs in WC didnt help at any point of time to get the WC.........
Thank you very much !!!!! For a cogent observation.

I mean no disrespect to any nation still playing, but what a horrible, depressing World Cup. India are about to be wrapped up, Pakistan already out, Woolmer murdered….this is one WC I would like to forget!

SS, let's discuss the England squad shall we? :laugh:
Yup. So a couple changes I think. I think Kumble will still be around for tests, so basically the dravid - tendulkar - laxman middle order stays? Now that Yuvraj is healthy, he should get in (even though I don't believe he is a test quality player)?

The problem comes down to the openers - surely Sehwag should be gone. Karthik was one bright star in the SA series, so I really like him too.

Ganguly over Yuvraj, no?

Tendulkar has been given vice captaincy and has accepted it. So it is very much likely that he is the next in line. I have made cleared in the past why I think he would make a good captain as well.
this was a "must-perform-well" game for a player of his stature given the importance of the game...very disappointing last world cup game for tendulkar....as for captaincy, he has to first deserve a place in the side before being given that...this performance really calls for a major overhaul of the team, tendulkar should either be asked to retire or be dropped....

I know this is a big blow to the economics of the cup. I know this will ruin cricket for several years to come. I know it'll probably be a huge blow to cricket interest in India. I know there are millions of people in India throwing things at the TV or going into mindless despair right now.

I still can't help feel happy for the two little nations of the subcontinent. Sorry.

Thank you ! the history of Indian players earning mega-bucks is that they have to be shamelessly pushed out ! He will NOT retire - he is milking it !

DROP TENDULKAR !!!!

Well, how stupid and unlucky can us Indians be ?
Unlucky..First up you are nowhere near to good performance and saying that you are unlucky......Luck and unlucky is only to those who take each game seriously . IND no where near to professional cricket
