#1 \| 38 days ago tanucute2002 (+)	acc to me it is sachin tendulkar, as i said i am talking about evry aspect of the game.......there is nothing which is need to be said about his batting...all the achievements n records speak of it......n he has really been a handy bowler in many situations 4 his country......more than 70 of the cricketing records are on his name....... well, but what makes him THE ALL TIME BEST is his CONSISTENCY.......despite of carrying the pressure of a country like INDIA on his shoulder n still PERFORMING after almost 2 DECADES in the cricket world......is the toughest thing, no one can do this....BUT HE HAS DONE IT.....n he's continuing to do so..... while comparing him with sir don bradman & brain lara(THE BESTS)....wat makes SACHIN STAND OUT is his consistent performance in BOTH- ODI as well as TESTS.......

#4 \| 38 days ago rajeshscience (+)	Sachin Tendulkar is the best player of all time. Altho Bradman has greatest batting average and no body can touch it.but in my opinion Sir Donald bradman did not play with various teams and different conditions and he never played oneday cricket and cricket was not evolved that much that time. i am not disrespecting him at all. Everybody knows his stature and average. But the pressure sachin handles and being an Indian i know how it is and he is technically perfect and can be defensive like great Sunil gavaskar and can be destructive like Vivian Rchard and Bradman. That is the hall mark of the greatest player. in my opinion next to him will be Brian charles Lara. hence without iota of doubt he is the best player ever. Enter the poll to see my answer

No, it is not that, I like the good performances of all the players, disregarding many performances which are good, glorifying the person for non-performance is not appreciated.Sachin being seen as demigod, is for me, incorrect, as he is as human as we all are, with skills he has performed and failed also many times more in twenty years.

#19 \| 34 days ago aritragupta (+)	First the list put up here is hardly a comprehensive list of the greats. If it were a certain Mr. Gary Sobers would not have been missing. The guy is an all time great and probably the most complete cricketer the world has seen. He was a brilliant left arm bat, a magnificent fielder and bowled left arm orthodox spin, left arm chinaman and left arm fast medium!!! He had 235 wickets in Test cricket (a mere 93 Test Matches, mind it), out of which 143 were as a spin bowler and another 92 as a fast medium bowler! He also had 109 catches for good measure. All time great cricketer? This is the man. But since he is not on the list, it has to be Sir Don, simply by virtue of being the best batsman the world has seen. Enter the poll to see my answer

Raja, I do not know what you have against Sachin Tendulkar. Even in the other poll 'Do you think that Sachin Tendulkar should retire from International Cricket?' you have made similar comments. Unfortunately neither there nor here have you given any facts or logic to support your claims. There you said when politics was happening Sachin did nothing. Here you are saying Sachin himself is doing politics!!!!!!!!! You have cited only one example of Sachin's bad performance. And then when given an example of magnificent performance you say flash in the pan. Flash in the pan?????????? There are more than 100 such flashes in the pan, sir!!!!!!!!! Also you ask how many matches Sachin won for India. Well, you know the answer already, because I put up the data in the other poll and you replied to that. You say performances of other players are being ignored due to Sachin. If so, it is very sad. But I request you to please clarify which players you are referring to, and what performances they have. Then we can decide whether they were indeed performances that can put Sachin's position in doubt or whether they were, to borrow your expression, 'flashes in the pan.' Finally, Vinod Kambli was definitely a magnificently gifted batsman. I do not know what role politics played in his downfall, but his own indiscipline has been acknowledged as a major cause by experts, by critics and even by Vinod himself. So lets not blame Sachin for that. All I will say dear sir is you do not seem to have much against Sachin the cricketer. But you seem still mightily displeased with the man. But as long as the man plays cricket as well as he has done (by the way before you start saying he is not as good any more let me remind you to refer to the other poll where I had given a detailed break-up of his performance in the last 4 years), your views about the man cease to be relevant. I apologize if I appear to be confrontational, but you, too, have been degrading a legend. This is not meant to be a personal attack. So, sorry for any offence caused. Enter the poll to see my answer

Great Sachin ran away from the responsiblity of captaining for very elfish reasons, because he could be the last man standing.

Dear tanucute, I do get your point. But if Sir Don is generally accepted as the greatest batsman the game has seen, Sir Gary is also generally accepted as the greatest all-round performer the game has seen. There is another similarity: both were very aggressive cricketers, and experts have often wondered about what they could have done in the shorter version of the game (Sobers was the first to hit all six balls of an over for six in first class cricket and Bradman famously scored a triple century one day of Test Cricket).

Team that performed well won that championship won the championship. Definitely. The VB Series in Australia special because it has a best of 3 finals. India won the first 2 easily and rge 3rd match was not required. Sachin was man of the match in the first having scored a brisk 117 not out and guiding India to the victory. In the second match he scored 91. Apart from Man of the Match Praveen Kumar he was the primary reason for India's victory. By the way, both matches were won quite easily in the end.

The definition of slander was not created by me, I have just quoted the Camnbridge Dictionary. I have never said Sachin is a demigod. I have accepted he fails sometimes, but he is still the best in business. I have supported this assertion by quoting his performance in terms of runs, in terms of matches he has guided India to victory, in terms of comparison with other batsmen.

#139 \| 14 days ago aritragupta (+)	mmaheshmk wrote: but india lose again fail against Aus A team Yeah. To quote Mr.Gavaskar, "It was shameful." But if this is in context to Sachin Tendulkar, please also note his recommended bitter pill for Team India's sickness: "Send young guns like Ravindra Jadeja , Suresh Raina and Ishant Sharma back to domestic Cricket. They have a lot to learn about the pressures in Cricket. There is a lot wrong with them when it comes to temperament." Actually, I believe India's series loss has a lot more to do with strategy and team conditioning. And, yes, unfortunately, I am starting to miss Saurav Ganguly's skills and combative nature at the helm. For some time now India has been winning matches on the basis of brilliant performances by individuals. Even in this series twice Dhoni batted brilliantly and once Yuvraj was on song. That resulted in 2 comfortable victories. Another time Sachin's 175 took them close to a mammoth target. But India fell short because of little support from the rest of the team. Also, in general, the performance of the bowlers was mediocre at best. The team seems to rely on Zaheer Khan's ability too much. And since the Champion's trophy Zaheer's absence has meant that the Indian bowling line-up has not won a single match for the country. Finally, decision making - the 6th ODI in Guwahati was a shocker. If we chose to bat hoping to take advantage of conditions suiting spinners later in the day, why was there only one specialist spinner in the team? What was Amit Mishra doing on the sidelines? Surely he is no cheergirl whose job-role is 'inspiring' the team from the side lines. And still on a helpful wicket he was not included.Also consider this: it was an early start at Guwahati. In fact, Guwahati is India's eastern-most International Stadium capable of hosting cricket matches. So starts here are earlier than anywhere else in the country. That meant the ball would do a bit early on. And as far as I remember India has always been considered better against spin than genuine swing bowling under helpful conditions. The logic of the decision to bat first cost India dear. Needless to say that was not the only reason, but definitely it contributed. The onus lies not just with Dhoni because in India, especially in a home series, it has been a tradition that the selectors present in the ground, of course, the coach, and even some board officials are very proactive in matters of picking the team and the decision of batting first/second, etc. Any which way, I am hoping for a better result in the Test series versus Sri Lanka, and not just because it is not Australia. Basically I have believed for sometime now that rankings notwithstanding India has a stronger Test Team. The presence oF Dravid and Laxman gives the batting much more depth. Given that it is a 5 day game India perforce has to go in with 2 specialist spinners. And yes, in the context of this series, Zaheer Khan is expected to return. Enter the poll to see my answer

Either on this topic, or on another one named "Should Sachin retire from International Cricket?" I had provided the exact data of what percentage of Sachin's successes lead to a success for India. Please cross-check that data before jumping to conclusions. There are a couple of other things I would like to point out: One, none of the young guns in the team made any significant contribution in this series. In fact none even seem to have the stomach for a fight. I do not think these guys are any readiness to "replace Sachin." Two, it is rather ironic that you mentioned Virendra Sehwag. He was in wonderful touch in this series, got starts in 5 of the 6 matches played till now, and ended up getting out to rash stroke-play in every match. Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shashtri have been livid about what they call "lack of responsibility in a senior player." There is no doubt in my mind that Sehwag is a proven matchwinner. But to come close to Sachin he has to temper his belligerence with caution. Enter the poll to see my answer

Anyway, why was it unforgiveable for Sachin? Why was it forgiveable for Sehwag who yet again played a rash stroke? Why was it forgiveable for Yuvraj who got out comically in that match, and yes, in the next match too? Why was it forgiveable for Gambhir to play a stroke which had to clear the boundary over thirdman or else there was a fielder waiting for a catch? Why was it forgiveable for Ravindra Jadeja, a supposedly 'regular batsman' who was still there when Sachin got out, to go for a non-existent single and run himself out for the second time in 2 matches? Do not forget that Praveen Kumar had been batting well throughout the series. He did his bit even in that match. If Jadeja had not decided to commit suicide India would have won.

Frankly I do not even believe this is Sachin's best innings ever. But it definitely is a magnificent innings in every respect. As far as 'match winning innings' goes, the Man of the Match is given to the best performer in the match, not to the best player from the winning team. Sachin was rightly awarded because he single handedly took India close to an improbable target. And of course Cricket is a team game. That is why India lost despite Sachin's Herculean effort - no one else contributed. But Cricket, while a team game, depends on individual performances. What is a team effort other than a series of good performances by a number of players in a team. And no one really needs to prove whether Sachin is one of the best ever or not. Whether he is the best is another question altogether. My view is Sir Garfield Sobers. Enter the poll to see my answer

Unfortunately you did not. If you want I can actually give you the scorecard of that match if due to some reasons you missed it. But trust me if only winning was the criteria most of Sunil Gavaskar's innings were useless. If India has a litany of inconsistent peformers Sachin is not to blame.

As per your first criteria (% of run scored) this is the 8th best innings in cases where the batsman in question has scored a century. Please also note the data you yourself provided very carefully - all the innings you mention were played batting first. This is not a coincidence. Scoring runs with a mountain of runs to climb is much more difficult. Just for the record, in terms of % of runs scored when the batsman has scored a century, and the team is batting second, this is the second best of all times. Enter the poll to see my answer
