Deja Vu... Feels like 90s once again

[bunny]

Translation - 90's were worse.

That's a hogwash theory. Tell me one series outside of India in the 90s (apart from the Australia tour in 99) when Tendulkar was our best player.

[King Tendulkar]

:hysterical:Good OP. The kids have had it to good! They dont know how lucky they are

[yoda]

one 50 after 3 failed innings (albeit two with fever) and SRT brigade wants to talk as if no one else has done anything of worth. Dravid says hello!

An Away series in 90s was a given defeat. A drawn test was an achievement.

[Hell Raiser]

Atleast in 90's we knew our team was crap and were full of nobody's( Except Sachin ofcourse). but this team has legends that makes it even more disappointing.:((

[CSK Fan]

lol must've been a misery for you guys who witnessed these scenes for over a decade. Used to see India winning/drawing for most of the time. :((

Actaully this is much worse. In those times any win was a bonus and we didnt expect much from the team except a good fight. Now the expectations are much more and such a tame surrender hurts

Missed it amongst all the "yea yea yea, we are still the same one man team, bla bla bla". Good post by you there. :two_thumbs_up:

You sir, have serious comprehension problems. BTW, what do you say now about Dravid's second succesive 100 being in a losing cause? Did he lose his match winning abilities suddenly?

Really?

You sir' date=' have serious comprehension problems. BTW, what do you say now about Dravid's second succesive 100 being in a losing cause? Did he lose his match winning abilities suddenly?[/quote'] Yea I lack comprehension problems and you are the genius here to bring up irrelevant stats like scoring in a losing cause, here in this thread. The discussion here is about the reliving the experience of a one man show, whereas this test and this series has been anything but THAT ONE MAN's show.

[Ranjha]

Where was tendkar in previous 3 innings...this is not 90s at all. Even bhajji scored 46 only 10 less than tendya in this inning.

If you read the OP again, he was not calling this seires or the test as a one man show. He was just saying(and mostly tongue-in-cheek) that the second innings score-card reminded him of a 90s scorecard. That doesnt mean other batsmen are useless or we are back to the 90s. Its just an observation. For example, seeing vada-pavs on the streer reminds me of my college days. As for scoring in a losing cause, that was again tongue-in-cheek as if this was Sachin instead of Dravid doing all that scoring and still India ended up on the losing side, we would have threads after threads on it. In fact dravid,s batting in this series did remind me a lot of Sachin's stands in the 90s, a lone heroic innigns while the rest collapsed

Yea yea, so every time the team is failing and SRT is still not out you guys get reminded of the 90s, totally ignoring match context, even what happened in the first innings of the same test where we had a magical innings by someone not named SRT. And again, the scoring in a losing cause may be a pet issue of yours and others, it doesn't mean it makes a difference to everyone on this site, so it is irrelevant to the discussion here.

I don't think so mytwocents. To be fair to yoda, Op did mention Tendulkar being 41* when India is 6 down. Not that I care about it. but just want to mention it.

OMG Sach vs team debate has started :nervous: I thought this thread meant ,the manner in which we are losing resembles our 90's days,not about Sach being a one man army :hmmmm2:

[jairamesh]

i dunno about the 90s, but conceding 400 runs in a day twice! in the same series, that's a walloping.

[master22]

sachin scores a 50 for the first time in this series and we get a thread like this:wall: On the other hand dravid silently keeps scoring century each match without much appreciation!!

OK if this thread meant Sach being one man army then I dont agree.I thought OP meant manner of defeat resembled 90's.
