Should sachin have played more cautiously??


Recommended Posts

Given the situation, when he was hitting some shots especially against Patel I was telling myself that he was being a bit too careless for the situation. It was a lazy dab at a innocuous delivery. Now all three Sehwag, Gambhir and SRT got out playing lousy shots. Dravid and him needed to fire big and now it seems they will be bundled out under 400 or even less.

Look, they have to save the Test somehow. The rest of the batsmen need to step up in the 1st Inn, and the guys who played poor shots have to more than doubly make up for it in 2nd Inn. If they dont win the Test series in NZ, then its a big waste of opportunity. It'll be really ridiculous - these are reasonable conditions for batting, and batting and scoring big runs are supposedly our superstar cricketers' speciality!

The man is not perfect...give him a break. He can't carry the load for the team everytime...someone else also has to step up.
hey cochise, don't bring common sense into this. after all SRT should have been more cautious - instead of just trying to defend he should have just left it alone and tried one of the Manjrekar variations of padding up to a ball. and even those fours and that six he hit, he should have just watched legends like Chris Tavare and taken the buddha approach to batting. (btw, did you get my email with that '85 rendition of Sultans?)

yes the Master should have played more cautiously today but we should not blame him.. we cannot expect than he hits 150 in every match .. somebody else also needs to step up to the occassion Let the young players also understand tests ... except Viru who performs occassionally none of the other young players seem to perform well in tests .. let GG, Yuvi etc. also perform now

Sachin played fine. That was simply a lazy/nervous sort of shot(not an overaggressive shot)...typical of him when he's near a milestone. But his overall approach to the innings was fine. Pity it had to end so early. He looked primed for a huge one.

He's a selfish guy. He can't play uncautiously. He should've just blocked for a while. What was the need to go for singles at such a crucial time? He had 14 runs off Jeetan Patel's previous over (who by the way is so awesome now - they really missed him in the previous match and in the ODIs and T20s and the matches in Australia before that). So what if he has experience of 150 test matches? Its useless when he can't use it - like today. Pathetic losers this bunch.

did u notice how he scored those 14 runs ..how do u expect the score ticking if everyone plays defensively..did u notice how NZlan was approaching the game... almost all the century makers had above 80 strikerate... its fine when the runs are coming.. Blind worshippers going orgasmic over Sachin drives and cover shots.. time he gets out, Sachin is Selfish... and mind you, he got out playing defensive shot
