 By Sachin again in World cup 2011...

Congrats Sachin

Hardly anyone would grudge Sachin getting this, well, except for the SA's watching this game because as a fan, you always want your team to win and that would mean getting every batman out as cheap as possible.

Its not possible mate he bats too low to score that many runs plus currently most team declare around 600-650.

Originally posted by kahmad he nedded 13 years to break this record. It will take now more time for someone to break this one. Because of T20 lots of people will come near but to cross it they need some special day. Maybe Sehwag can get there.SA must be very happy that they have got Sehwag out early otherwise we could see 2 doouble hundreds on this ground today.

Even if Sehwag does, it won't be as great because when Tendulkar hits, its flawless. Not a single chance or mistake no matter at what speed he is going at.

He now virtually holds every batting record in cricket. He may not get the highest Test score but still he has everything else.

Speechless - I wouldn't be adding anything new other than congrats, brilliant, went to the man who deserved it the most. Take a bow you master. he is one of the few players in world cricket who is liked by one and all around the cricket world - even we Pakistanis love him.

Probably India would call him for the T20s.

He must score the fastest century to take all the Batting records:-))

But i think its not nesseccary for him to be the best Batsman in the world.

It's bit harsh to take shots on Punter or punterulz at this moment, just because Sachin scored a double.Ponting has been one of the best since 2002 or post captaincy.It can't be taken away from him.
Sachin has been class from the day 1 and will be till he decides to call it a day.We are all blessed with such a master for so long.

i think nobody has the rights to decide who is the best and the finest. Its opinion from everyone. For a Sri Lankan is maybe Jaysurya the best. For SAs Kallis. Everyone has his favourite player and he is the best for him. For me Tendulkar is one  of the best. At the moment no one is near to him.
Its unfair to compare players. They have all different qualities. How many World Cups has Ponting won? He has one brillant Innings in the finals against India where Tendulkar got out in the first over. Is that a comparison for you? I dont think anybody can compare one player with another. They have different qualities.
One indian friend of me here thinks that Dravid has won more matches for India. He told me every time that Sachin is giving a very good start but the match is won by Dravid. I had a lot of discussion with him that without Sachin's start Dravid couldn't win those matches. Even the comentators and Experts are not calling someone the best.

My comments werent answer of posts mate. I read so often here the comparisons and on most other sites. I just wanted to write down my opinion about player comparisons.

Very true indeed. What amazes me is his humble approach despite being a player of such stature. No arrogance nothing.

I meant he own pretty much MOST of the records and anyway the important ones belong to him except for highest Test score but Lara deserved that.

Originally posted by mystery So Series ended with 2-1 it was series that any team could have won but India got lucky and won it.

Aus won 4-2 when  came to India , One match Bhajji and PK almost won the game , they were just 1 shot away.Other Sachin singlehandedly alomst won it. Aussies got lucky in those two matches and won it ,  it should have been 4-2 India. Note: I am not saying this , I just took the same anology and applied to different series.........

Yes Dips i agree i just said that to show Raj that its not about one ball or one over its about full match who is doing well in the full match which Australia did well against India they were always winning it.
