Sachin moves to No: 1 in ICC ODI Ratings; Breaks Bradman's record

[Shehezaada]

back to where he belongs

[Chandan]

Right I am not sure where those who said he should retire are at the moment? anyone have any idea?? :hysterical:

Most recently, ie during the CB series, Sanjay Manjrekar and Peter Roebuck said so. And do you think they stop saying it? Nope. Just one or two low scores in next ODIs and they'll all be back, singing same boring tune!

Tendulkar breaks Bradman's world record Tendulkar became only the second batsman after Sir Don Bradman to make 5000 or more runs against a particular opponent in all forms of international cricket. More... March 05, 2008 In the second final of Commonwealth Bank Series, Sachin Tendulkar [images] broke a world record that almost went unnoticed. When his score reached 9, Tendulkar became only the second batsman after Sir Don Bradman to make 5000 or more runs against a particular opponent in all forms of international cricket (Tests, ODIs and T20 internationals). On 38, he broke Sir Don's world record of 5028 runs against England [images]. Now Tendulkar has 5082 runs against Australia in all international cricket. Sir Don Bradman had scored all the runs in Test matches. No one can come close to this record, not even Tendulkar. But, in all international matches, Tendulkar is now the 'Don'.

I see the australian ex players and how they support the australian team no matter what.no one is asking ponting to quit. There is no surprise that indian team sucked with people like manjarekar in the team.

Sanjay Manjrekar owes an apology to Sachin. Sachin was really hurt from his comments. You must think a thousand times before making harsh comments about a great like him.

Tendulkar most enchanting of all time: Roebuck Noted cricket writer Peter Roebuck showers encomiums on Tendulkar for his back-to-back match-winning knocks against Australia. More... Tendulkar one of most enchanting players of all time: Roebuck Press Trust Of India Melbourne, March 05, 2008 First Published: 17:39 IST(5/3/2008) Last Updated: 18:24 IST(5/3/2008) Showering encomiums on Sachin Tendulkar for his back-to-back match-winning knocks against Australia in the ODI tri-series' finals, noted cricket writer Peter Roebuck said the little master counts among the most "enchanting and compelling" players the game has seen. "Over the past 15 years, cricket enthusiasts have enjoyed many delights but two stand out. Anyone able to follow the careers of Tendulkar and Shane Warne at close quarters has been privileged," Roebuck wrote in his column for 'The Sydney Morning Herald'. "Both were craftsmen of high calibre but also artists of supreme talent. Warne was a mesmerising tweaker with a fiercely competitive streak. The Indian remains a classical batsman unburdened with ego and capable of exquisite stroke-play," he added. Roebuck was also all praise for the Indian young brigade for putting up a fearless challenge to Ricky Ponting's men in both the Test series and the one-day tri-series. "India defended their score with spirit and left the country with heads held high. Throughout a contentious trip these tourists played with tenacity and audacity. It has been a colossal struggle between an ageing champion and a bold challenger," he said. The former county player said the second final in Brisbane that turned out to be a cliffhanger was a fitting finale to the ill-tempered series and singled out Tendulkar's 91-run knock as the best memory that one could take home from the game. "A match jam-packed with desperate action has brought a pulsating summer to an appropriately dramatic conclusion," he said. "Apart from the frenzied finish and the curious outbreak of tackles on the field, the abiding memory of the match came from Tendulkar's bat. The first final, in Sydney, had produced one of the game's finest chasing innings. "Alas, the hullabaloo distracted attention from Tendulkar's hundred. Accordingly, reporters hoped for a second helping from the maestro. Happily he obliged with a superb effort in the second final," he added. Roebuck said Tendulkar did well to allow his bat do talking when it came to responding to critics who questioned his track record in Australia. "It is not so long ago that observers wondered whether the time had come for the veteran to slip down the order. He had been losing his wicket to the new ball and seemed to have lost his edge. "Recently, another critic pointed out that Tendulkar had never scored a one-day hundred in Australia and had a relatively poor record chasing targets. Never awaken the sleeping tiger," he said.

5000 runs v Australia alone!

Well....I am not surprised that Bradman scored five grands against England in tests only. Those days those two teams played most of the cricket. I am sure that he played 80% cricket of his life against England. His career total was 6996 runs and he scored 5028 of that against England. That tells the story.

nice wheres the rest of the article?

[Anakin]

Few years back SRT was averaging over 50 against ozs in ODIs if not mistaken. His bad run of form saw it going down. Amazing feat to say the least. And that is one of the reasons why SRT and BCL are a league above others.

[Brainfade]

Sanjay Majrekar has proven to be a loser.

Either that or he is an exceptional psychologist - when he senses that SRT is starting to look out of sorts, he makes some inane comment with the knowledge that the Boss will respond with a couple of stellar performances! Clever trick, I must say :)!

[goose]

What's left for SRT in the one-day game? Now would be a pretty special note on which to call it a day in one-dayers. He's carried India to a 2-0 win over the world champions on their own turf and moved to No.1. Going to be hard sustaining the hunger and focus for one-day runs against other opposition. What else is left to achieve ... ? 1) World Cup winner 2011? 2) 50 centuries? 3) Highest one-day score? 4) 200 ? 5) 900 plus in the ICC rankings? Which ONE would you love to see him accomplish and why? My pick is No. 4).

[Mr. Wicket]

1. Final in Bombay? Too good to miss out on. (And I reckon if 1 comes true, 2'll happen along the way as well)

[Holysmoke]

If I had to pick 1, it would be #1.

If he's playing and India reach the final, I'd sell an arm, a leg, and a kidney to get there to watch it :nervous:

[Desi Cartman]
