Verbatim from cricinfo commentary - color emphasis mine
Pollock to Tendulkar, OUT, Sachin falls. Pollock again takes him out. Well outside the offstump, Tendulkar is bit unsure whether to leave or play, ends up doing both as he tries to get out of a shot at the last minute but by then it was too late. The ball had kissed the outside edge and Boucher fell low to his right to take a smart catch. Indian batting again in doldrums. Any one surprised

Sure. With midless worshippers like you - anyone can be out there scoring against Zimbabwe adn Bangladesh and you would worship him. Mind you, Tendulkar FAILED MISERABLY as CAPTAIN. Remember ? What a genius....Dravid said:
Compare him to Ponting and Lara. Or Gavaskar.

Uh, what in the blue ****ing hell does being a captain have to do with him being a batsman. BTW http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Players/PlayerOpponents_ODI.asp?PlayerID=1735JustTool said:
Search before you say he only scores runs against Zimbabwe and Bangaldesh

Game on, guys. 
Indian bowling was very good at times, but what was, for me, the best, was the fielding. They were quick, sharp and pounced on everything. Great stuff.
I am also quite impressed with Sehwag as captain. He never let any of the batsmen relax or get comfortable. Even Gibbs in spite of his 93. Sehwag mixed and changed and kept them jumping. Good captaincy!

Eh, it was OK. Sreesanth could have gotten more overs, and Sachin was persisted with a bit too long.jot1 said:Game on, guys.

I'm not sure about the fielding, I actually thought it was pretty poor.jot1 said:Game on, guys.

I forgot - "this" is your life. Where were you when India were 1st....oh, that was going to happen under Dravid-Chappell with Tendulkar. Next week, maybe. After all we do have the world's best ever batsman. Come on guys. Get serious and find a real job other than worshipping failure.adharcric said:
