Should sachin have played more cautiously??

He does it again in the second innings! Chasing a ball outside the off stump when it was needed to hunker down and spend time at the wicket. I guess this test match is gone!

For a legend, he should have avoided that trap given the circumstances! Who will save the match now. Both Wall and SRT are gone.

Your hope seems to start and end with Tendulkar it seems. Aren't there another 10 players that can do the job? Relax man, Laxman is a terrific bat. Give some credit to the rest of the guys, they are very capable too.

I will be thrilled if I am wrong.

Take it easy, he played positively the whole time in this match. That was a good ball to be hit but he missed it.

God is not a machine. Even machines fail. Give the guy a break.

[fineleg]

^ should he not spend bit more time at crease on D5 before going for those?

[graphic23]

Nope, he was feeling comfortable out there. Hit a nice four. Positivity sometimes can lead to your downfall. The ball was there to be hit.

[Anakin]

Nope' date=' he was feeling comfortable out there. Hit a nice four. Positivity sometimes can lead to your downfall. The ball was there to be hit.[/quote'] Exactly. It was not a reckless shot. The cover drive was on and he went for it. BTW he played more riskier shots in both innings than that one.

It's a game of cricket. Not a thesis on hand made precision watch making. Shyte happens.

Yup. Although I think if he went for a square drive, he would've played it a little later, and might not have edged it.

[DomainK]

It happens guys. When his shots come off, they look breathtaking. Some times they dont.

[Shehezaada]

it's good to see him batting like this regardless of everything. He's feeling good and I'm sure he'll come up with a big one in the next game. But really there was no need for the shot. It's not irresponsible, as someone mentioned before, positivity sometimes leads you to failure. The same positivity has lead us to test match victories out of nowhere before
