Guest whineleg Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 finally Manjrekar says something smart! Tendulkar is not performing at all! Link to comment
beetle Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Mangrekar has something against Tendulkar.....This is not the first time. Pata nahi kya kahani hai inke beech mein...:D Kissi ko kuch pata hai bhai logon?:P Link to comment
Gambit Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Mangrekar has something against Tendulkar.....This is not the first time. Pata nahi kya kahani hai inke beech mein...:D Kissi ko kuch pata hai bhai logon?:P IMO SM's comments about SRT are for most part spot on. He was fully justified in criticising him during SRT's test slump in 2005-2006. But for the sake of nuetrality, he goes OTT sometimes. He wants to show that despite being SRT's close friend, he is not averse to criticising him and goes overboard at times. Link to comment
yoda Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 SM is a hypocrite. He will say anything to suit his agenda which currently includes bashing SRT. Link to comment
PaiN_KiLLeR Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 His article is spot on. I dont know why you people find it OTT. Manjrekar also pointed out that in the last 51 One-day internationals, Tendulkar's batting average when he bats first is 62.10 in 24 innings. In contrast when he bats second, it's 26.00 in 27 innings Anyone who says SRT hasn't been having a problem batting second in recent times is obviously joking. This is the main reason why we haven't been chasing well, off late. Need good starts to chase down big scores. SRT of course has the talent and understanding to overcome even the toughest of hurdles. I hope he gets it right before the finals. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 some Srt Fanz might over react to this.. but Manjrekar is spot on here as some other posterz wrote too.. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 yup as a diehard fan of sachin, sm is absolutely on the money! srt has to realize this man hes not taking any responsibility thats wats lacking in his illustrious career Link to comment
cochise Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Tendulkar ton tomorrow! Link to comment
IndianRenegade Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Tendulkar ton tomorrow! Tendulkar needs to fire against Aus.Though a ton tomorrow would also be welcomed. He hasn't scored one in AUS in ODIs! Link to comment
cochise Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Warm up for the finals. And then...dare I dream...the first double ton in ODI against Aussies in the finals! Okay, okay...I know, it's a dream...but hey, I hope it comes true... Link to comment
Ram Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 "Another problem that India have these days when they bat second on a good pitch, is that their most experienced batsman, who bats at such an influential position in the batting order, becomes almost redundant," he wrote in his column for the Times of India. Thats the single most stupid comment I have seen from a former cricketer in recent times. Link to comment
DomainK Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Quite on the point. Tendulkar's game deserves some harsh criticism right now. He has been opening long enough now to know how to deal with the new ball. That shuffle across the stumps has happened too many times now. I am sure though that he is due for a bing one now.

suraj Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thats the single most stupid comment I have seen from a former cricketer in recent times. Why- I think Manjrekar is quite right here even though it seems he has had something against SRT throughout- but in this case his statement is accurate Link to comment
Ram Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Why- I think Manjrekar is quite right here even though it seems he has had something against SRT throughout- but in this case his statement is accurate Do you know what the word Redundant means ? Link to comment
suraj Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Do you know what the word Redundant means ? oh so you criticising the technicality; well maybe he used the wrong word but I am agreeing with the spirit of what he is talking about here Link to comment
Ram Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 oh so you criticising the technicality; well maybe he used the wrong word but I am agreeing with the spirit of what he is talking about here What do you mean technicality ? One wrong word could mean a world of a difference dude. If Manjrekar had said Sachin hasnt been as effective batting second, as he has been batting first, that would have been a reasonable statement to male. To say Sachin has been "redundant" in chases is nothing short of preposterous. Manjrekar has been treading on Sachin's toes for long. He first shamelessly sided with Ian Chappell, when Chappell called on Sachin to retire after the world cup. Now, he onto his antics again. And what in the good world does he mean when he say " Sachin is like this big elephant in this room that no one wants to talk about" !!Well they better not talk about him, coz he has just top scored for his team in FOUR consecutive ODI series and ended the last calender year with 1500 runs. Only someone out of their minds will have the courage, or in this case, the foolhardiness to question Sachin's place in the ODI team. Link to comment
Anakin Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 It's still very clear, even the ODI team still depends on SRT too much to win. So much for the improvement from the 90s Link to comment
King Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Just leave Tendulkar alone. He did really well and won couple of games in England batting second. It's ridiculous to suggest he's redundant. If you start nit picking every batsman you will see there is not one batsman that comes out a champ in all conditions and situations. Tendulkar is very valuable to the Indian team. Sure he has failed in this series and it doesn't need to be pointed out as everyone knows he hasn't score a 50 yet in the CB series. I don't quite know what does SM achieve by talking about Tendulkar alone. In the same breath the Aussie top order have not done anything great either. That doesn't mean they all need to be shafted.
