Facts about Sachin for his critics and fans

[King]

Re: Facts about Sachin for his critics and fans I'm as a big Sachin fan as you guys are but am in no delusion about his batting form. He is in a huge slump. I want to stay clear and stick to my opinions. He is a true legend and is a great example but his batting quality has gone down is something none can deny. Is he capable still? I think if he isn't capable then none of the batters are. I hold him as the best batsman technically to grace (I've not seen Bradman so am exempting Bradman from the list) cricket ever still. The sheer number of runs and 100s in both forms of cricket are difficult to not take into consideration. Despite all this if I say he is the best in the world today then I must be kidding myself. The batting has been on a different plain since 2000s whether it is due to lack of terrific bowlers, pitches more conducive for batting I'm not sure. Thanks to the likes of Ponting, Dravid, Hayden, Lara, Yousuf et al the run scoring has increase dramatically. Now if we see Tendulkar struggling to come to terms and score well consistently it bothers us all. We want to see more of him and that is the true reason we sometimes give him a hard time. Although every good things must come to end at times it pains us to see what has become of a living legend. When he struggles to even face up to guys like Paul Harris, Bangladesh bowlers et al we are very concerned. This concern is like a concern for a family member that seems to have drifted from his mundane and is taking a wrong route. Everyone is sensitive and surely his fans are too. Bottom line is everyone wants him to do well. When he fails to even match up to half his potential people can't bear it. It is a very natural phenomenon and should not be construed as hate or bashing. As for questioning his attitude to the game, only a stupid man can do that. Make no mistake I've heard personally from couple of writers about what they think about Tendulkar. These guys are still writing on cricket. They said Tendulkar was a selfish batsman. Imagine when Tendulkar fails often what must be cooking in their minds to write their next column
