Serani Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Hopefully he gets a test match 100 at Lords, not sure when India tour here next though. I am sure if he plays he will get a ton there.
wrath Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 WORLD CUP Something he keeps missing everytime. This would be the icing on the cake for him and I believe he will hang his boots in ODIs if he does win the world cup. But the problem for India is their bowling.
straight.drive Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 a Test series win in Australia and South Africa.
patriot Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 1) Motivate Badrinath to convert domestic performances into international ones. 2) Use his influence to ensure Nohit Sharma isn't seen close to the Indian team ever. Oh no wait.....Nohit who just made a 1st ball duck in the vijay hazare trophy followed by a 1 against Tamil Nadu is back for the 3rd ODI :mad:
Ultimate_Game Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I would love to see Tendulkar be part of a world cup winning team - that's one gap in his resume. Even though winning a cup is not an individual task but it would prove beyond all doubt that SRT is in a different league than Lara or Ponting.
thevortex Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 a Test series win in Australia and South Africa. Ditto, straight.drive! I agree. Contrary to so many people talking about the World Cup, I would value away Test series wins in Australia and South Africa more. But this certainly will not be the popular opinion. Only Tendulkar can say what he feels is more valuable. From 20 years of watching him field questions, I am sure he will find the right, diplomatic thing to say :).
straight.drive Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Yep, A test series win SA and Oz is much much more valuable than unpredictable ODI championships..

Yep' date=' A test series win SA and Oz is much much more valuable than unpredictable ODI championships..[/quote'] Can Sachin alone win the Wc? Can Sachin alone win a test series in Australia or SA? These two things are certainly for the team to cheive, not an individual batsman! As for me, I will like him to score two tons in one match. He hasn't done it till now. And also 500+ in a test series.
Temujin Khaghan Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 He hasn't got 500 in a series. Hope he targets that 974 record of Bradman for a series :--D and thats when all those who are comparing him to bradman are gonna run away. sachin cannot hit so many runs. he is consistent over a long period of time... but he never has those super-purple-peaks. as others have also said... we dont have 6 match series anymore.
thevortex Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Oops - slip of the tongue. Should have said - Tendulkar being a part of the series winning Test team on an Australian/South African tour. Maybe if he is also Man of the series - that more than anything is sure to please me :). Oh and all this in a 5 Test series.
king2be98 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I;ve seen many players almost humiliated because they went past their prime and didn't retire and were forced out of the game. Tendulkar has individually accomplished everythign, broken just about every record in the book and scored against everyone everywhere. He should continue while he can maintain this high standard, but the moment he feels that his body is no longer up to the task, he must retire and on his own terms, it would be a tragedy to see a player forced out when they have done so much andf carried so much for so long.
vvvslaxman Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 and thats when all those who are comparing him to bradman are gonna run away. sachin cannot hit so many runs. he is consistent over a long period of time... but he never has those super-purple-peaks. as others have also said... we dont have 6 match series anymore. I know. This is not a mandatory requirement as well. He rarely featured in a 5 test series in his career. When he did it was very early in his career.

yoda Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 World Cup is the next obvious thing, then again with this bowling, we will need a few more 200s to win it.
Temujin Khaghan Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Make him play with the lalloo bowlers that went around in the 30s and he will bloody never get out .... :cantstop: yeah the kind of bowlers who say sorry when they bowl a bouncer, consider bowling to a 7-2 field as a crime and never bowl yorkers and bouncers to the 'gentleman' who is just in. ... i dont know about sachin but sehwag will murder them.
Temujin Khaghan Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 i want to see sachin lift the ipl. i want to see him to win as a captain atleast once. ... we are such pathetic fools. we are satisfied to see someone else be happy. bloody ayn rand would spit on our lot.
