Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar has scaled a peak in cricket that people can only dream off.
But as said by some great "If elephant walks, dogs bark" - there have been innumerable instances of people coming up with there theories going to an extent of coming up with headlines "Endulkar". Many cricketers who havent made 1/10th the number of runs Sachin had made, went on to decide when he should retire or which shots he shouldnt play. Some people who have not achieved 1/1000th of what the master blaster has done went ahead to redicule him & worst which is hard to imagine was mumbai crowd booing him when he got out for just 13 runs.
Despite this he has scored consistently, now i am sure many would have stood up seeing this - but i have figures to prove. The max. time Sachin has stayed without a century is 17 matches and compare this with Lara - 27, Border -61, Steve Waugh - 41, Dravid - 22, Ponting - 18 only goes on to prove how wrong the detractors have been. Now most would save he hasnt played winning innings - till 2000 he was the fulcrum and played to save India from losses and since then his scores have ever increasingly been at times when India won!
His CV surely looks weak in 4th innings and the only few things unachieved are a world cup and 400+ score. I havent read many good articles in the recent past but this one is an awesome one so all those Sachin fans - http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/current/story/373350.html
And hey, congrats Sachin - The Master Blaster!
