Is sachin tendulkar having the unluckiest year ever?

[Dravid]

Is he?

 

[Anil]

no

 

[Agent TBY]

You can't get that many high scores and be unlucky.

 

[Dravid]

Unlucky as in has there anyone that has got more 90s in a year and not a 100?

 

[premium2007]

still scoring a lot though..

 

[shortpitched713]

Damien Martyn's 2005 was pretty bad.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

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!"

 

[social]

Saw the beginning of Tendy's innings yesterday and he was incredibly lucky so would be delighted with 97

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

 

[ohtani's jacket]

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.

 

[Richard]

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.

 

[Goughy]

Is he?

Nothing compared to that of Headly Verity in 1943.

Just trying to put things in perspective.

 

[silentstriker]

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.

 

[Jono]

His couple of 90s dismissals in England were given incorrectly, but the rest he just got nervous and went out in the 90s.

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.

AWTA re: England dismissals, haven't seen the rest of his 90's though so i can't comment.
