guys,

first of all , sports and the players should be judged fairly irrespective of the nationality,

so just dont be biased , that applies even to u pyari kt

no_quiero,

with due respect to your opinion, i wont totally agree with ya ,

if you consider the life of Sachin, i found it always inspiring for millions of ppl around

the world and he has been a great player in every form of the cricket, and been admired

by his contemps and veterans as well.

watch some documentaries made on his life by ESPN, which reveals he is not only a great

player but also a great person, as judged by his team mates and those on his rival teams.

so, when u judge a person just look at the overall stats, not just point out the downfall days,

i m sure the stats he has put on the boards all those years speak for himself, and we all know

he was the master blaster in his haydays, with his unparalelled flair and techniques of the game.

his imp in indian team is evident by the moral boost of the players and audiences when he is in the

game and never forget that he has shown his best performance against the most dominant team (Aus).

so, may be he is not the greatest of all, but he does not deserve your cheap comments either dude,

i have seen players come and go in this competitive era, but its his outstanding contribution to the

team and the game that keeps him on field,

so please learn to appreciate,

regards,

chyantu
