re: Sachin Used To Shiver While Facing Shoaib Akhtar:Afridi
before someone commenting on sachin performance in early 2000s in which akthar got better of tendulkar
which was also wrost part of sachin's 22 year old cricketing carrer with back injury in 1999-2000 agains't pakistan in bangalore or chennai test(he almost won the single handedly,but didn't happen thanks to injury) ,he had to reduce his bat weight .some of the shots have completely disappeared,then the tennis elbow happend,in between he had injury to his (finger and feet),same goes for akhtar by the time sachin got better of him not in 2003(2006-07 series,in between there was no series ) akhtar wasn't in form and had few injuries,pace came down a bit from 150s to 140s
lol now ur blaming the injury for the defeat of the test match in which sachin scored 140 odd runs and could not win the game for India......Only 10 runs were needed and 3 4 wickets were in hand .....Any other could have won it for India but Saqlain wrapped up the tail and won it for Pakistan......In 2006-07 Series Akhtar played only one test and Got Sachin in it too.....The only where Sachin got better of Akhtar was in the 03 WC Match

how many runs did sachin score before akhtar got him out,he was clearly out of form in that series,anyway sachin has been in the best form of his life after 99s. world cup could have decided the battle
about that test match,there was lot of loose balls from saqlain in which normal sachin could have hit a four,clearly he was in pain
re: Sachin Used To Shiver While Facing Shoaib Akhtar:Afridi
check ur link again it’s from 99 series and iam talking about 2006 series
about the injury it can happen while playing or even worse as match prolonged.
and not finishing it was the job of others who followed sachin to do the job.it’s completely wrong to assume sachin didn’t win macthes
whatever he scored were all part of indian victories,if you remove those runs 90 percent of matches india would have lost,you don’t always need to be at end to say he won the match,most of the career sachin started as opener and number 4 in tests.
you can’t compare sachin’s position with vivan richards or pointing they always had team of champions who could do other jobs(sachin was like mardon with napoli in 90s).plus amount of pressure all the money and fame you could always go wrong track viv richards himself said that,unlike ur shoaib or afridi sachin hardly had any controversies in his career as a crickter or in personal life

same here i respect shoaib,infact my fav player from pakistan
he is most liked player in india(from pakistan) too bad with this book everything he earned would go waste
re: Sachin Used To Shiver While Facing Shoaib Akhtar:Afridi
Pakistani players are throwing all kinds of muck at Tendulkar, he is not throwing anything back.
A zen like attitude that he shares with Dravid and is the hallmark of Tendulkar's 20+ Years of controversy free career.
As for the shivering part, if I went out to bat under the weight of expectation of 1 billion people, I would be peeing in my pants before I reached the wicket.
See ball, hit ball Afridi of course has no such issues.

A little bit of butterflies is good - whether it is cricket, athletics, or a presentation. Keeps the adrenaline flowing - the great ones channel the nervous energy to get a positive outcome.

Welcome!
What weight of expectation? ... we always expect Sachin to fail in pressure situations (he often does) :D
And please do take a look at the people accusing Tendulkar. Shoaib and Afridi have frequently been in the news for all the wrong reasons, so no big surprises there for me atleast. You will never see Misbah making such foolish or unnecessary comments
Shoaib to Afridi : khub guzrey gee jo mil baithein gey (hum) deewane do
Sachin's greatness as a batsman is indisputable, just don't think he is a great finisher or delivers when the chips are down

Doesnt change the fact that Sachin is not a match winner

Its all fun uncle never take it to the heart!
Waleed - I am enjoying this - no worries :) :)
By the way, the media is not reporting the fact that Shoaib Akhtar joined Akram and his friends to save Veeru from the big bad politician (even though Veeru prevented Shoaib from playing in a cricket match - source: Chillar Party)
