Since 2004, only 5 of 13 ODI 100s from Tendulkar have come in wins

with 7 of them in losses and 1 in a tied match also, some fanatics might talk of 33 of tendulkars 49 100s coming in wins, but those stats are inflated with 9 of them against teams like zimbabwe, kenya & namibia. take them out and that comes down to only 24 of tendulkars 40 100s coming in wins the fact is - when tendulkar hits a 100, he gets there so slowly and usually kills the chances of the team winning. since 2004, he has done that 8 times in his last 13 odi 100s 100s from any decent batsmen help the team to win, but in case of tendulkar, they become the reasons for indias loss

Dubious record for a great player. But can we really blame for all those losses? Yesterday fine, may be he batted a lot slower than he normally would. But what about his other other 100s?

It was Dhoni's mistake who can not marshal his bowling resources.
Surely, just for yesterday's game Tendulkar's slow batting must take part (not all) of the blame. All the rest statistics in the first post are meaningless, IMHO.

This is one of "the" best Tendulkar tons which never gets mentioned. The D/L method (and of course the great bowling) may have screwed up things for us.
The pitch was not the easiest to bat on. During the first game it was merely the odd ball that had seamed extra, but here it was quite decidedly two paced. More than once the ball scooted along on the ground after pitching and more worryingly, one or two took off from a length, hitting the splice of the bat or the gloves hard. Dravid was able to master the variable bounce, cutting out the horizontal shots after an initial cut shot when the ball was new and hard. Tendulkar went for his strokes, especially when there was a bit of width on offer but found that it was not always easy to get hold of the ball as the bounce was not true.

You say that like thats the only reason. There were collective failures. Dhoni's captaincy, crap bowlers and YESSSS Tendulkar being selfish as hell. I can admit India has crap bowlers that contributed to the loss why cant you Tendulkar die hards admit he played a substantial role as well?
