Damien Martyn's 2005 was pretty bad.

As was Jamie Siddons' life......
Siddons, from the slips: "Hurry up and take guard, this isn't a bloody Test match."
Batsman: "Obviously. You're here!"

I'd never heard that one. Do we know who is reputed to have said that?

Have they won all the games where Tendulkar scored in the 90s?
I think the fans want to see the centuries more than Tendulkar really needs them.

His chokiest year perhaps. Doesn't matter though I suppose. The difference between a 97 and a 100 for your team is very minimal. Your team goal should always come first, so he's proved me wrong and served the team better than I thought he could.

That was as a result of poor umpiring decisions though, Tendulkar hasn't really been "unlucky" in my book.

No-one's unlucky to keep getting out in the 90s unless they're repeatedly being run-out or given out incorrectly.
It is astonishing that anyone could get this many 90s in a row without getting a century once, even more so when there are 3 99s, but ask any batsman before almost any innings if they'll be happy to get 90-odd they will.
Tendulkar has had far, far worse years than this and I doubt he'll be anything more than a bit frustrated at his bogey-90s.

Nothing compared to that of Headly Verity in 1943.
Just trying to put things in perspective.

Nah not really. Unlucky, as Richard said, would be a slew of incorrect decisions. He has had some, but in most he has simply been out. That's just the way it goes.
Lucky ? how ? .That LBW was too high . The only lucky part was that run out ,otherwise he was dominating right through the innings .

Yeah. Was choking at times. Shows how even the great champions of the game are human.
