Here is analysis of each of those centuries he scored when INDIA lost and reason why it went in vain. Sachin Tendulkar gets to yet another century but India end up on the losing side - How many times have we seen that? While there would be the Tendulkar bashers and critics who say that India lose a match whenever Sachin scores a century, the statistics prove otherwise. Out of the 48 hundreds, We won 33 , Tied 1, Draw 1. And we lost only 13. 1. 137 off 137 (Strike rate 100) balls Vs SriLanka at Delhi in 1996 World Cup. India scored 271/3 in 50 overs. The only other 50 score was from Azhar. SL made 272 in 48.4 overs. Manoj Prabhakar had 4-0-47-0. He also opened in the innings and scored 7 of 36 balls. 2. 100 of 111 Balls Vs Pak in Singapore - Apr 96. India 226 all out in 47.1 overs, When Sachin was out score was 186/4 (We cant blame because next 3 are match fixtures). Pak had a reduced target of 187 from 33 overs. 3. 110 of 138 Balls (Slower but...) vs Sri Lanka In Colombo - Aug 96 Again India 226 for 5 in 50 overs, Only other 50 score from Azhar (58 of 99 balls !!!). Sachin has also bowled 6-0-29-1, the second most economical bowler and the only wicket taker (SL were 230/1 in 44.2 ) of the match next to Srinath. Seven bowlers were used by Azhar. 4. 143 of 131 Balls (!!!) Vs Aus at Sharjah, Apr 1998 This was chasing under lights. The qualifying match before the final. The whole world knows about this match. Still one interesting point, when Sachin was out India were 242 at 5 at 43 overs. Target was 276 in 46. Still India finished at 250/5 scoring just 8 of the next 3 overs. 5. 101 of 140 Balls against SL at Sharjah , Oct 2000. Indian score was 224/8 in 50 overs. (No other 50 score). SL got 225/5 in 43.5, Sachin also bowled 5-0-22-0, better economy rate than everyone except Srinath. 6. 146 of 153 Balls against Zimbabwe at Jodhpur , December 2000 India made 283 / 8 in 50 overs. Sachin was the last man to be dismissed, score was 235/8 at 46.3 overs when he was out. Agarkar and Zaheer Khan propelled India to 283 in the last 3.3 overs. When Sachin has scored 146 of 235 in 46.3 overs, you can guess what the other 8 great batsmen were doing against the World class Zimbabwe attack. Second Highest scorer was Zaheer Khan with 32. Zim got 284/9 in 49.5 overs. Kumble bowled the last over. Sachin also got 6-0-35-1 7. 101 of 129 Balls Vs SA at Johannesburg , Oct 2001 India got 279/5 in 50, Ganguly made 127 of 126 balls. When Ganguly got out, the score was 193-1 in 35.2 overs. Sachin was the last man to get out at 263. SA got 280 in 48.4 overs. Sachin bowled 9-0-51-0, second best in economy rate next only to Agarkar (10-0-45-1) 8. 141 of 135 balls Vs Pak at Rawalpindi, March 2004. India were chasing 329 and were 317 all out in 48.4 overs, 8 balls to spare. No other batsman made even a 50 (when chasing 300 ) and when Sachin was out, India were 245-4 in 38.4 overs. They needed 85 from 68 balls with 6 wickets in hand. 9. 123 of 130 Balls Vs Pak at Ahmedabad, April 2005. India made 315/6 in 48 overs (48 over match), again no other 50 score. Second highest was Dhoni 47 of 64 balls, (third highest was extras - 39). Pak made 319 in 48 overs. The three quicks (Balaji, Nehra and Khan went for 188 runs from 26 overs between them taking only 2 wickets). Sachin bowled 6-0-36-1. No Harbhajan and no Kumble. 10. 100 of 113 Balls Vs Pak at Peshawar, Feb-2006. India were 328 all out in 49.4 overs. Pathan and Dhoni got 60 each. When Sachin was out when India were 305-5 in 45 overs. Managed only 23 in the last five overs. Pak scored 311/7 in 47 overs and won by D/L method. Could have been anybody's game. Sachin did not bowl. 11. 141* of 148 Balls Vs WI , Malaysia. India made 309 /5 in 50 overs. Sachin was not out. Pathan was the only other 50 scorer. WI made 141/2 in 20 overs and won by D/L method. Again could have been anybody's game. 12. 175 of 141 Balls vs Australia at Hyderabad, 5th Nov 2009. India needed 351 to win. And at the End, lost by 3 Runs. Spare a thought for Sachin Tendulkar. He seemed to have done everything possible but didn't last the final lap. Only Raina scored along with him…made 59…and other Players just Enjoyed Sachin’s batting. 13. 111 of 101 Balls Vs South Africa at Nagpur , 12th March 2011. India were 267/1 and at the end all out for 296. When Sachin got out after scoring 111, India only managed to score 30 Runs with lost of 9 Wickets. This Proved how good Sachin’s hundreds were! Hope people will stop laughing now. In other 35 Instances , We won 33 , Tied 1, Draw 1. Just to add to this fact...he already has 14 scores in '90s... Many of which has resulted in an Indian victory. If we look at the centuries scored by Sachin while chasing are better then the others. Below is the list of players scoring centuries while chasing : SACHIN --> HAS DONE IT --> 14 times PONTING --> HAS DONE IT --> 08 times LARA --> HAS DONE IT --> 07 times INZAMAM --> HAS DONE IT --> 03 times Sir Viv.RICHARDS --> HAS DONE IT --> 03 times DRAVID --> HAS DONE IT --> 02 times Now , let us see what Sachin has done for India's cause when he has gone past 50 but not a ton. Out of the 93 times Sachin Tendulkar has scored a fifty, India have secured 56 wins while ending up on the losing side 35 times. Two games were without the Result. Digging deeper, India has won 28 times whenever Sachin has scored between 70 to 99. Who has scored the maximum number of tons in winning causes for their respective teams. Sachin’s critics will have their mouths tightly shut because the master tops the chart with most number of tons resulting in a team's win. Most of the time he stayed unbeaten. Sachin : 33 Hundreds --> 13 times he was Unbeaten. Ponting : 25 Hundreds --> 8 times he was Unbeaten. Jayasuriya : 24 Hundreds --> 5 times he was Unbeaten. Ganguly :18 Hundreds --> 10 times he was Unbeaten. Hope everyone will understand Sachins stats and hopefully the worth of Sachin's 100's would not be discussed again. To people for whom the above stats are not enough then SACHIN's... *** 21 years of cricket is not Enough...?? *** 48 tons aint Enough...?? *** 33 TONS in WON-Matches ain't Enough...?? *** 14 TONS in WON-Matches "while-chasing" ain't Enough....?? NOTHING is Enough..... ...coz.... They got to know aboutt cricket ----- SINCE LAST WEEK..!!! Note: The reason for this was to stop people debating about sachins stats. Anyways hats off to all ignorant indian cricket lovers who do not have any proper analysis of the game. Try to watch the game with some education i mean game analysis and try to stop making useless and proofless statements. Written by my friend

For Vaibhav_Dhoni:

Remember when you failed an examination. How many people recall that, your class, friends, relatives? You failed to make it to the IITs or IIMs. Who remembers. How many times have you had the feeling of being the best in your class, school , university, state….., you failed to get a visa stamped this quarter…, you missed a promotion this year…, how did it feel when you dad told you in your early twenties that you are good for nothing…..and now your boss tell you the same... You keep introspecting and go into a shell when people most of whom don’t matter a dime in your life criticize you, back bite you, make fun of you. You are left sad and shattered and you cry when your own kin scoffs at you. You say I am feeling low today. It takes a lot from us to come out of these everyday situations and move on. A lot??? really? Now here’s a man standing on the third man boundary in the last over of a world cup match. The bowler just has to bowl sensibly to win this game. What the man at the boundary sees is 4 rank bad bowls bowled without any sense of focus, planning or regret. India loses, yet again in those circumstances when he has done just about everything right. He does not cry. Does not show any emotion. Just keeps his head down and leaves the field. He has seen these failures for 22 years now. And not just his class, relatives, friends but the whole world has seen these failures. We are too immature to even imagine what goes on in that mind and heart of his. That’s why I would never want to be Sachin. True, he has single handedly lifted to moods of this entire nation umpteen number of times. He has been an inspiration to rise above our mediocrity. Nobody who has ever lifted the willow even comes close to this man’s genius. His dedication and metal strength is unparallel. This is specially for those people who would have made fun of him again last night when India lost. They are people who are mediocre in their own lives. Who just scoff at others to create cheap fun. Who have lived in a small hole throughout their lives and thought they have seen the oceans. Think about the man himself. He is 37 years of age. He has been playing almost non stop for 22 years. The way he was running and diving around the field last night would have put 22 year olds to shame. The way he played the best opening quickies in the world was breathtaking. He just keeps getting better which is by the way humanly impossible. Its not for nothing that people call him GOD. But still I don’t want to be in those shoes. We struggle in keeping our monotonous lives straight, lives which affect a limited number of people. Imagine what would be the magnitude of the inner struggle for him, pain both mental and physical, tears that have frozen with time, knees and ankles and every other joint in the body that is either bandaged or needs to be attended to every night, eyes that don’t sleep before a big game, bats that have scored 99 international tons and still see expectations from a billion people. And he just converts those expectations into reality. We watch in awe, feel privileged. Well I think its time that his team realizes that enough is enough. They have an obligation, not towards their country alone but towards sachin. They need to win this one for him. Stay assured that he himself will still deliver and leave no stone unturned to make sure India wins this cup. This is not just a game, and he is not just a sportsman. Its much more than this. Words fail here.....

1. this thread is regarding India's relative inability to win when Sachin scores Tons. And as mentioned in my last post, that issue actually exists esp from the last decade.
Oh okay. So you are trying to say that Sachin scoring high scores is good for India, but you have issues with him scoring tons? So I think he should just hit his wickets when he is on 99..!!
2. Pls post the link to whatever stat you are posting.
Will definitely try to do so going forward..

I think Vaibhav has a credible point. And by that I don't mean Sachin should stop scoring tons but the team should not get complacent when he does so and support his efforts by winning the Match. India loosing the match when Sachin scores a ton is not his fault at all, He scores in Crunch situations against the best bowlers and often at a strike rate higher than others. So the lesson to be learned from this stat is that its about time Team India Pull Up Their Socks and help this Legend win the cup he so totally deserves. I predict a Sachin 200 at Mumbai >>> The Last Miracle before 2012 :yay:

It's funny. When counting India's winning % for Sachin's tons, you never excluded No result matches
Yeps, 1 century was scored in a No-Result match back in 2002: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/35320.html?class=2;filter=advanced;opposition=1;opposition=2;opposition=3;opposition=4;opposition=5;opposition=7;opposition=8;orderby=start;result=5;runsmin1=100;runsval1=runs;spanmax1=31+Dec+2011;spanmin1=01+Jan+1989;spanval1=span;template=results;type=batting;view=match Thanks for pointing out!!
