that's true i think Sachin Past it.he's on decline
I have astrange feeling about it...before i saw all the figues i thought that may be he is growing as a player and just going through a phase of maturing as Player who is not 26 anymore...but two Yrs is quite a long period and he has had astonishing 16 single digit innings in this period out of 25 innings that he played....this is astonishing.
well he is getting older and older now still quite young though only 28i think r29 but seems like he has lost his natural touch
^^ Lets hope he hasnt, that is the only good thing for cricket if we can see Tendulkar repeat his old form.

good thing for u fans laiken bad thing hamara when we tour india in febuary :D
i think its just that his weakness(es) have been now exposed....
^^ and those are......?
since no one ever saw this on the scorecard of any match
SR Tendulkar c @#$# b armughal
or
SR Tendulkar b armughal
or
SR Tendulkar lbw armughal
i think i wud not be the best guy to answer....
why dont u ask those who got his wicket.... :)
A very enlightening article.
He has always said that he has had to curb his natural instincts of late for the good of the team. I suspect he just doesn't have that old touch.
Everybody ages. The guy is well past his prime. Whoever said he is still in his 20's is wrong. He is over 30 I'm certain of it.
People have to move on, he was a great player, and still is a good player but he can't play like he's 26 forever.
What's the big deal? Did all you guys actually believe he was God? It's not as if he was ever a matchwinner anyway.

He has been playing for 15 years, no wonder he has tennis elbow,,,,,,
You know he debuted in teh same game as Waqar Younis, shows you how long he's been around.
Yeah sad it is, but it does seem like its around the corner......I thik id ruther see him play mosr test match Cricket thn ODi.....
I dont think his weaknesses have been exposed, dont think he has too many, apart from ebing getting out LBWm while trying to drive the ball eaRLY.........any way Viv went through same phase for last one and half Yr of his career, he didnt havev nay weakness he just Kept on gettingout..
Ehsan Bhi, u must have seen Viv last tour of Eng, how was he like in that series...if u remember?
Hmmm I guess its not related to the age issue very much , Or the technique issue . Its just the bad patch . Remember Inzamam during the WC 2003 times .It happens .. But one thing to be sure , Big players either come out of this patch as New and improved or They just simply retire .. So lets see ... Tendulkar should try and spend some time on the pitch before making runs ... or What ever . He knows better ............
Hey good find yaar, didn't know he had 16 single digit scores out of 25 innings. That sucks but he has been injured too so hope for best
Tendulkar is a run scorer not a match winner, dravid is a match winner!!!
Well he managed 20 odd runs today but very un chartecteristic.........anyway wht is soultion to u guys
1) Being Dropped
2) Given a Break, remember Brian Lara took a break from cricket and came back with 700+ against SL
3) Chnage of batting order, either #3, or 6, where he can play more of his strokes, this to me is the best solution as he has been batting in Familiar situations for last 2 Yrs..at # 4, and naturally tries to play same way for two yrs...so i think change in batting odred where he would get a different feel of game situation would be the best solution.
Ehsan bhi, how was Viv in last tour to Eng, i really wanna know that.?:)
