:two_thumbs_up: I love this delusional among you guys. You throw up nonsense all day long. Your idea of backing up statements with evidence is to attack anyone who doesn't agree with it. Reminds me of a certain group of fundamentalists who enjoy blowing themselves up P.S. Refer to a string of posts by rett for examples of this

analogy you given was totally tasteless..this is just a game no need to take it too seriously as i mentioned we are not Bashing Sachin...during debate some limits crosses but they are not personal.. Also here people are not telling Sachin is inferior....just in this case his innings is second Best...whats wrong in that.. Also you have to see who bought up selective stats to prove their point..who is calling dhoni selfish etc..

[Sachinism]

As Virender Sehwag bulldozed his way to the world record score, the entire country – and the large pockets of Indians worldwide – went delirious with excitement. There was a kind of innocence with which the balls were brutally blasted to all corners of the ground, slaughtering strokeplay purified by the fire that seemed to scorch the Holkar Cricket Ground. What followed in the aftermath of such a fantastic milestone paints a rather mottled picture of the nature of cricket following in India. There were truckloads of accolades and applause that deservingly framed the monumental achievement with deserving and sparkling embellishments. However, there was also in equal proportion that age old propensity of the Indian cricket fan to dip a landmark in the murky green colours of comparison in order to tarnish some of the glittering gemstones in the treasury of the sport. Instead of savouring the moment and allowing the goose-pimples to deliciously die down along with the reverberating echoes of the tremendous strokes of the Najafgarh maestro, out came the self-appointed cult of cricket activists who claim to live to keep the game supposedly clear of the vicious tentacles of individualism and cabalistic blasphemies. Quite quixotically, Sachin Tendulkar, miles away from the action, peacefully flying through the skies on his way to Australia, started popping up in posts, articles and comments. For many it was a triumph of the sport against the passion for individual glory as represented by the adulation for Tendulkar and his achievements. For some ridiculous armchair metaphysicians, it was proof that man could triumph over ‘God’. The glee of these peculiar perverts, thrown up in ever increasing numbers by the game in this curious country, had to be seen and read to be believed. A floated joke about Tendulkar being the new holder of the world record for the slowest double century soon began to be taken seriously and doing rounds as the fabricated sense of righteous indignation against the man who had broken the 200-run barrier. Well, if a 147-ball 200 can be criticised for slowness, I will live with it. While the end result was simply that Sehwag scored a brilliant world record-setting 219, and India won the match and series comprehensively, this ridiculous reaction produced comical self-referencing paradoxes engineered by the guardians of the game, the national and the theological keepers of Indian cricket. It is striking evidence that these very followers of the game cannot rise beyond the limits of individual fanaticism. Their enjoyment of the brilliance of Sehwag came a poor second to their endless endeavour to tar and feather the achievements of the greatest Indian batsman of all time. The country and the cause of India are simply excuses for these sickly souls to rise up in diabolical debasement of a hero. And by calling upon the spirit of an absent soul, someone traversing the heavens in the direction of Down Under, these very scattered groups riddled with the hate gene did ensure that the little master was bestowed with powers of omnipresence. It was these very critics through their own vested interests, in order to throw malicious mud on his path-breaking performances, who presented the abilities of god to the man. Tendulkar absent seemed to exercise a more powerful influence than Tendulkar present, a defining benchmark for a God. Would it not have been simpler to revel in the glory of two Indians owning the record for the top two scores in One-Day International cricket? Much as Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid own the top two aggregates in Test match cricket as well? Can we imagine Australian fans reacting in this way if Michael Clarke broke some record of Ricky Ponting? Or the English if Jimmy Anderson went past some landmark set by Ian Botham? Ah well … there continue to be some things which happen only in India. http://www.cricketcountry.com/cricket-articles/Why-ridicule-Sachin-Tendulkar-while-rejoicing-Virender-Sehwag-s-moment-of-glory-/9006

Virender Sehwag's 219 at Indore last week is the highest individual score by a man in one-day internationals - but my sister insists that a woman still holds the overall record. Is she right? asked Benoit Briens from FranceYour sister is indeed correct: Virender Sehwag may have joined Sachin Tendulkar in reaching 200 in one-day internationals during that amazing onslaught in Indore last week, but both of them are trumped by Australia's Belinda Clark, who made 229 not out against Denmark in Mumbai during the 1997 Women's World Cup. Interestingly, the women's record Clark broke was set earlier the same day, when Charlotte Edwards made 173 not out for England against Ireland in Pune, on the day before her 18th birthday.

Would love to be on the ban list of some of the folks :P

You have weird fetishes

[CSK Fan]

As I said earlier some people should watch that match again to get over the misconceptions they have about both batsmen's inniings.Amazingly non-existent reasoning has been given by some fans here regarding this match and innings.

And as what was said earlier, it would do you good to read the whole thread, understand the context of the posts you are replying to, before jumping up and down. No one is blaming Dhoni but you jumped to his defense quicker than a sailor on shore-leave jumps on his wife. And we are called the fan-boys

Clark scored it against Denmark, Viru or Sach would have scored 500 against them :P (and the argument continues)

:--D Not arguments mate' date=' just some facts in case people didn't get time to check other sites with all the trolling going on here.[/quote'] Haha. But Clark is one of the giants of Women's cricket, and averages more than Sachin, Ponting or Lara in ODIs. She deserves all the records.
