I have come to realize that no matter how much I or anyone for that matter tries, its impossible to refute the fact that sachin is without the slightest hints of doubt one of the best batsmen in the world cricket scenario today and perhaps will remain so for years to come. DEAD RIGHT! i am not saying sachin is a bad/worse cricketer, am i? :P. like you, i too have absolutely NO doubt in my mind and heart that sachin is ONE of the best batsmen in world cricket today. BUT juxtaposing him with the likes of the great sir donald bradman and putting him in the shoes of the BEST batsman of all time is just tad too much of a comparison in my humble opinion. as i pointed out earlier, cricket is a mind game. when it comes to pressure more often than not the best batsman of this era (Mr. sachin) pees, everyone knows that. apart from the 98 tournament in sarjah where he single handedly brought india in the final against the aussies and actually beat the hell out of them in the final to claim the series, i have NOT seen sachin batted like a TIGER in a PRESSURE situation. so much about the master blaster, even other indian players fail to perform to the level, in general, outside india. even in bangladesh for that matter, let alone in bouncy wickets like in australia or the west indies. hehehe :P flips, i am not saying india is a bad side. but yeah, against pakistan, they have time and again showed that they don't have big hearts. i told you and i am telling you again. even tendulkar admitted that being aggressive in not in the blood of indians, let alone indian players !!!!!! LOL... find some better team to support for dear friends ___ HELL NO INDIA!!! :P LooTe
