MASTER ROCKS !

Hi All,

 

The most SPECIAL FORUM for and from Me !

 

What to start and how to start Will I able to get it all in words ? Will I be able to express his Greatness in words ? I doubt myself YES, I DO.

 

Firstly let me RATE his Innings though I pity myself that I dont have that level of understanding and knowledge to RATE HIS CLASS. I didnt watch the Sandstorm innings but still feel that was his BEST EVER (in ODIs). Watched WC 03 and reckon it was his 2nd BEST EVER, looking at the occasion and importance of the same. In Sharjah, it was something else. I rate it first because it was ONLY HIM who took India away. I still remember this QUOTE

 

Steve Waugh - We won against India but lost against SACHIN TENDULKAR.

 

That says it all ! People with some brain can easily understand what he meant by that. I dont say that it was or it is today A Single Man Army. Yes, today Team India is not ONLY dependent on THE MASTER for a Victory. There are many other who can prove to be a Match Winner on a given day and I am proud of this fact but are we honest and KIND enough to still think whether Team India rely only on THE MASTER. I mean to say that in his 20th year we still expect him to gift vistories on HIS OWN while he has been already doing that since long. I can confidently say that he RULED TEAM INDIA for atleast 10 YEARS, if not more People, I am not talking about how good he played for team India, I am saying that it was HIM upto whom Team India use to look for a VICTORY. He is OUT, people are out of the stadium and most of them use to switch off their TV sets, including me until I got other greats like Ganguly and Dravid.

 

The thought I am trying to share here is that why do we still argue about him being teh only MATCH WINNER for India. Why we still say "No, Team India can win without him or his knock" Is this FAIR enough ? Isnt it a DISGRACE ? Isnt it a SHAME ? I feel like crying when I listen people talking all this.

 

Why Cant we just stop judging him, even after 20 LONG YEARS

[King Of Masses]

after so many matches he gifted us, after so many days he made us feel Happy, after so many moments he gave us to feel PRODU of, after so many memories he gave us to look back and Cherish, We still cant help ourselves judging him. We still want more. Well, its not about wanting more as a FAN, we alwayz want that but the problem I have is that why do we change our thoughts when ours expectations are not fulfilled Do we do the same in our lives and our beloveds, the answer is NO. I know some of you think the way I do and support him but there are many who have loads of crap to say. For Example - One friend of mine said what is he doing since last 4 matches, not even made a Fifty. He was right in his thoughts, I understand but is it right to criticize THE MASTER if he failed in few matches, one out of them was a Run out and he was playing well in that Match.

 

I dont like Indian Captain because of what he speaks. No doubt he is THE BEST CAPTAIN, after DADA but he still need to learn how to get the BEST out of your Senior ost Player, who is a INSTITUTE in himself, half of the Cricketing World feels like Me. If you have got the No 1 rating for all those years, doesnt mean that you dont expect apprecaition, atleast from your Skipper. It alwayz motivates any player, no matter how Genuis he is. He should applaud MASTER's effort a bit more, if his words and time is not that Precious.

 

If 2nd Greatest Batsman does not fall short of Praising THE MASTER, every now and then, I dont think Indian Skipper, who have scored a Century after a year, should feel awkward of praising him. On the contrary he should feel privileged to do the same. When THE MASTER does not make A CENTURY in 3-4 matches, he goes "Top Order should Fire"

 

Is that the way you make THE BEST BATSMAN feel ?

Is this the way you get the best out of him ?

 

As a Skipper, NO ! If you still dont find players who collectively cant do the JOB which he has done for more than 10 years atleast (Years when India was One Man Army), you should not say so.

[King Of Masses]

Feel Proud !

Well, I will keep on going and will still not give up. Its better I stop and just wait for MY MASTER to keep rubbing his boots on the faces of all those Loosers He like doing all that and I RZPKT it

 

Lets see some of his recent STATS -

 

In 2009,

 

He reached 17000 from 15000 in 47 innings and averaged 47.22 with a stike rate of 87.23. He scored 4 Centuries and 12 Half Centuries during this period. His runs tally from 12000 to 15000 came in 77 innings and he averaged 43.25 with a strike rate of 81.74. This means he has improved his average and strike rate in last couple of years during which he scored these 2000 runs.

 

Can anyone answer my one question - Is he getting Better or....?

 

Well, let me make it more clear

 

Morover, he averages THE BEST among all opener of all time. His average is 48.28 (2nd Best - Grondon Greenidge, 45.39) with strike rate 87.68 and he scored 41 CENTURIES and 71 Half Centuries (2nd Best - Our Very Own DADA, 19 Centuries and 58 Half Centuries).

 

If we talk about his current form - He scored 746 runs in only 16 innings he played in 2009 and averaged 53.28 with a strike rate of 94.43 He hit 3 Centuries and 1 Half Century this year. Just assume if he plays more than 30-35 odd matches like he alwayz did in past when he use to play all the matches India played, he will obviously SCORE around 1500 RUNS, which I guess can be still rated THE BEST as he Averages THE BEST in the whole world for current year. YES, I am not kidding, its surprising but its TRUE. He also has most 100s this year

 

Note: I dont consider DHONI's Average as he already got more NOs than THE MASTER.

 

Moreover, after playing only 16 innings, THE MASTER is 3rd Top Scorer for Team India, after Dhoni and Yuvraj, who scored 995 and 754 respectively, from 25 and 21 matches respectively.

 

I am not comparing that dhoni with MY MASTER Its just that some people tend to it and here is my answer. Lets see if anyone can do it for consecutive 5 YEARS, which Master is doing after 20 YEARS

[King Of Masses]

He is a National Treasure !

I forgot to mention that he shares the No 1 Position for leading Century makers for 2009 with Watson and one Zimbabwe player but YES, he played only 16 innings which is almost half what other players like Ponting, etc have played this year.

 

POINT - There is still no COMPETITON OR COMPARISON

 

HE RULZ -------- ALL THE WAY --------

 

 

We will henceforth record his all innings in here. I hope I get support from THE LICC Members - If you LOVE Cricket, You gotta RZPKT THE MASTER. This way we can also keep this Community HAPPENING and LIVE by posting our views on our fav players and also posting views on the matches on the other forum. This forum is just for THE MASTER

 

We do have many things to feel proud of as A INDIAN, but this is the NATIONAL TREASURE which makes me feel SPECAIL I am PROUD and Privileged to call myself A INDIAN, one of the main reason is

 

 

SIR SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR !

 

 

Thanks for staying in MY HEART and making me feel on top of the WORLD.

 

My wishes are alwayz with you MASTER, no matter what

nice thread

[K D No.1]

ok

[King Of Masses]

Sachin Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon as well. His batting is based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that intangible quality given only to geniuses, anticipation. If he doesn't have a signature stroke - the upright, back-foot punch comes close - it is because he is equally proficient in each of the full range of orthodox shots (and plenty of improvised ones as well) and can pull them out at will.

[King Of Masses]

There are no apparent weaknesses in Tendulkar's game. He can score all around the wicket, off both front foot and back, can tune his technique to suit every condition, temper his game to suit every situation, and has made runs in all parts of the world in all conditions.

[King Of Masses]

Some of his finest performances have come against Australia, the overwhelmingly dominant team of his era. His century as a 19-year old on a lightning fast pitch at the WACA is considered one of the best innings ever to have been played in Australia. A few years later he received the ultimate compliment from the ultimate batsman when Don Bradman confided to his wife that Tendulkar reminded him of himself.

[Bezawada NTR]

[King Of Masses]

Blessed with the keenest of cricket minds, and armed with a loathing for losing, Tendulkar set about doing what it took to become one of the best batsmen in the world. Tendulkar's greatness was established early: he was only 16 when he made his Test debut. He was hit on the mouth by Waqar Younis but continued to bat, in a blood-soaked shirt. His first Test hundred, a match-saving one at Old Trafford, came when he was 17, and he had 16 Test hundreds before he turned 25. In 2000 he became the first batsman to have scored 50 international hundreds, in 2008 he passed Brian Lara as the leading Test run-scorer and in the following years, he crossed 13,000 runs and 30,000 international runs.

[King Of Masses]

He currently holds the record for most hundreds in both Tests and ODIs - remarkable, considering he didn't score his first ODI hundred till his 79th match. Incredibly, he retains a divine enthusiasm for the game, and he seems to be untouched by age: at 36 years and 306 days he broke a 40-year barrier by scoring the first double-century in one-day cricket. It now seems inevitable that he will become the first cricketer to score 100 international hundreds, which like Bradman's batting average, could last for ever.

[King Of Masses]

Tendulkar's considerable achievements seem greater still when looked at in the light of the burden of expectations he has had to bear from his adoring but somewhat unreasonable followers, who have been prone to regard anything less than a hundred as a failure. The aura may have dimmed, if only slightly, as the years on the international circuit have taken their toll on the body, but Tendulkar remains, by a distance, the most worshipped cricketer in the world.
