When he scores: Selfish and plays for records. When he doesnt score: Choker. :giggle:

:headshake: you forgot the most important part - when he scores a century, India doesn't win!!!

[Sid]

^And he still isnt a bigger match winner than the great Inzi :phehehe:

[saneindian]

"Sunil Gavaskar has told me that I have to get to 15,000 runs. He said he would be angry with me and would come and catch me if I didn't. I admire him so much and to score that many would be a terrific achievement, but that is not the only aim," he said, adding that "to win the World Cup in 2011" is his another ambition.

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/sachin-eyes-15k-test-runs-mark-2011-wc/498872/ An article dated Aug 6th 2009. In 2 years time, both the goals achieved! :hail:

[akshayxyz]

:headshake: you forgot the most important part - when he scores a century, India doesn't win!!!

And if he does get in this innings - it is because there is no pressure.. only 2 wickets down, against mediocre team on home ground.

Sachin: I am happy, not satisfied

[Sachin=GOD]

^that is the reason he has achieved so much.

[saneindian]

What should be the new target for him? 17K in 200 tests?

[ganeshran]

:agree:

[Andrew Peter]

Greatest and the Most consistent Sports Personality ever .

[Trichromatic]

There is only one thing which he hasn't achieved despite such a long career and so many runs 500 runs in a test series. He is probably only great/legend batsman who hasn't done it yet.
