Is Tendulkar a choker

[aussie_beater]

there are 2 reasons why anyone would rate ponting better than viv:

1) he probably has the brain of harbhajan singh...in which case he should just stop watching cricket. or

And what has Harbhajan Singh's brain gotta do with anything here... to allude that he is dumb is absolutely outrageous, and has nothing to with this discussion. Try to act like an adult and maintain sanity while having an argument.

 

[aussie_beater]

you can bring up tendulkar centuries on wickets where 3 opposition players scored centuries(probably included the keeper or a no 8 batsman) and the rest of the indian team(that included rathour,raman,manjarekar,ganguly,mongia etc) didnt score.

And you don't take into consideration the quality of Indian pacers over the last 10 years when you say that opposition batsman scored centuries in matches where Sachin was the only Indian centurion ??? In surfaces away from home, the opposition batsman had to face a lot of "greats" like Kuruvilla, Agarkar, Prasad, Prabhakar for a while, Johnson etc. and one quality pacer Srinath in the ranks and the rest being spinners. Yeah....that's a great bowling attack which sent down shivers down the opposition batting for all these years Sachin has been playing cricket...

don't you get it, a_b? see the trend of his claims and assertions. the guy just doesn't take into consideration anything that might affect his arguments, that might force him to take a second look at what he is saying. basically whatever he doesn't believe in, doesn't exist.

Yeah you are right, I just about had it with this dimwit.... I am not gonna waste my energy anymore.

 

[maxpower]

In my opinion, yes, you are wrong and I am right. You may have whatever opinion you want though.

I think this thread should have been locked at this point, but it went on a bit more. Maybe someone can start a thread on how Don is overrated, that should be fun

Interesting Question

Kaustubh Patil, India

Sachin Tendulkar has scored 34 hundreds and 61 fifties in LOIs for India as of 16 March, 2003. How many of these 95 matches has India won?

India won 62 of those 95 games. The full breakdown is: hundreds - 25 won, 8 lost, 1 no result; fifties - 37 won, 23 lost, 1 no result.

So his centuries are effective almost all the time

Either that or he only scores them against the weakest of opposition, making it more than likely that India would've won anyway.

Oooohh, contentious!!!

Yeah Right and This bowling attack was really great. It must have reminded you of the great WI attack of Holding, Garner, Roberts, MArshall etc.

actually if you had watched that match you would have seen the edwards,best and collins all bowled pretty well.granted not as good as holding garner and roberts but definetly good enough to dismiss india for 200 odd with dravid 70* and tendulkar out on 5.and then we would hear the perennial excuse of " you dont expect him to play well all the time...look at the pressure on him."

jeez and i thought all you didnt have was right under the belt...but clearly you dont even have a sense of humour either.

what about the quality of the batting beside tendulkar that made him look good on flat pitches??what about the rathours, manjarekars, amres,jadejas etc.
and btw one quality fast bowler and one quality spinner along with a decent support bowler,prasad or prabhakar isnt that bad an attack that they cant get wickets on seaming wickets.

since when have we been look at his odi(flat pitch) record? what relevance does this have to him not being a flat track bully or a choker??? good god read what the discussion is about before bringing in illogical facts.

Hahahahaha They certainly bowled better than Mcgrath, Donald, Waseem, Waqar etc.

BTW, check this out, Sachin 117 - http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_dat..._IN_WI/SCORECARDS/IND_WI_T2_19-23APR2002.html

So now he only looks good because the rest of the team are bad?

If they were that bad then they would all get out cheaply so he'd have no partners.

14 centuries when chasing - what a Choker!!!!

 

[biased indian]

defintion of choker in cricket

make lot of runs aganist the best Opp(14 centuries vs aus 7-7)

I think you are so fed up of replying to others, you are seeing all red, I know you don't like tendulkar but for god sake don't criticize everyone's posts

P.S, Check your facts out, the the thread says "IS TENDULKAR A CHOKER", if my posts is not in reference with the thread, than what is?

You keep on saying Flat Track bully, so he scored more on flat Tracks (according to you)..so what. Don't the bowlers rely on piches all the time, so if a particular bowler takes more wickets on a bowler-friendly pitch but fails on another..what would you call him....Seam/spin/bouncy track bully?

Tell you what, its his presence..that others around him play comfortably. I can bet you till date, indian crickets fans won't be sure of winning a match until they see his name in the 11.

So, toeextracool..relax your extra tool..and choose your words while replying to others

Cheers
