Overrated Sanity - what are your thoughts on the ball tampering/lolly incident with Dravid during the Aus/Ind/Zim ODI series in 2003/04 in Australia?

That was dicey too, but looks far less blatant than Tendulkar's. Anyway I'll wait for Dravid to break his silence and lie about what happened to sell his autobiography after Clive Lloyd dies and has no way to respond.

Known poor bloke Tendulkar badly in need of cash, so lying to sell his autobiography.

If he is lying its for his rep, not to sell books.

You know, between the ball tampering, monkeygate and this, I'm starting to think Sachin may be a pathological liar.

It's good to see the likes of ***** coming around to the logical conclusion some of us here reached years ago.

Tendulkar is indeed second to Bradman. Not only as a batsman, but in cultivating an image of a wholesome, generous good guy (albeit about as interesting as shredded cardboard) when he's actually a sour, self-obsessed ****.

I don't think it's money, but celebs release autobio wanting to sell them. Not really specific to the buffoonerous Tendy but in general it's naive to think they don't put things in thinking it will get them to shift copies

But my point was specifically in regards to Tendulkar and the ball tampering incident boi. If he is lying, he is doing that to make people not believe he's a cheat.

There is exactly a 0% chance that Sachin is making this up and Chappell didn't want Dravid gone. It is completely consistent with his reported behaviour throughout his entire tenure, including his open desire to slowly rid the old players from the team.

The fact after he left he even took credit for India's success because he said he was the one that knew the young players were good says plenty about him.

Happy to cop the Monkeygate and ball tampering points, but Chappell's statement is clearly false here.

Yeah, unlike English cricketers (see Flintoff, Cook, Swann), Tendulkar wrote his book when he had actually finished his career and had something to say.

Wow. Chappell's article above says things like, "Men don't say these things, but I have a genuine affection for Rahul Dravid."

Although I don't like to entertain the possibility of this, could it be that one of the players who wasn't pleased with Dravid's success was Sachin, and that since Chappell referred to that in his book, Sachin made a counter-attack in his book?

Could Tendulkar really be that obsessed with maintaining the good as god persona of his?

Maybe Sachin really is just a self obsessed prick with a god complex.
