living Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 When many people say how many of Sachin's hundreds have come for a winning cause, Here is analysis of each of those centuries he scored when India lost and reason why it went in vain. Out of the 41 hundreds,........................ Out of the 41 hundreds, 11 hundreds have gone in vain. 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. 7 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. Great performance by Laxman and Kanithkar indeed. 5. 101 of 140 Balls against SL at Sharjah in 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 (Game of Dougla Mariliar) 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 5 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 at Malaysia ndia 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. In the other 31 instances India has won 30 times and once there was no result. Now, please think again when you say sachin's 100s were in the losing cause and that he is not a team player. It is a fact that for the entire 90's India played International cricket with 1 PLAYER and 10 JOKERS.

bharat297 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 absolutely agree. Sachin is a proven match-winner and would have gone on to make match-winning hundreds in the trent bridge test and the headlingly ODI had it not been for "questionable" (ok fine, absolutely wrong) decisions.

Guest dada_rocks Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Even if u take out his losing hundred winning hudreds alone are more than anybody could ever hope to score. Link to comment
bigdhoni7 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: unfortunately it's true. outside of dravid/ganguly/kumble/azharuddin of course. i would add srinath to the list but he never had a strong bowling partner to further develop into a great bowler.

gopsy Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 a more pertinent analysis of his hundreds would be to see how many of his knocks were in crucial matches when the team really needed them. am sure it would make a poor reading when you compare it with blokes like Steve waugh, Bevan, unsung players like jhonty,etc. Link to comment

A 50 from a lower middle order batsman is as impressive as a century. A notable innings by a lower middle order batsman usually comes during a crisis. With sachin's 100's , such situations rarely did happen. So your comparison does not make sense. Link to comment
Tugga Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Sachin is great in setting up matches...i.e. when batting first, he gets india 2 a good position (invariably)...but it is during chasing (esp. in crunch matches) that he (more often than not) has disappointed...! Link to comment

sachin_fan Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Absolutely bheem, some ppl just wanna enjoy bashing sachin.....its as if there daily activities include on hour of mouthing against the man....I read an article somewhere, it starts " Sachin - India's Kohinoor'. The title was apt. Just like the kohinoor, we will not know his value as long as he is with us. If only he had been playing for england or australia or Saffies, then we would have felt his force really Link to comment

Mandrake Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 This is a myth spread sply by Pakis and ill informed fans that Sachin has played for records and such crap......these fellas will be the first to disregard stats saying "stats are meaningless".....wonder what else makes sense over personal prejudice....

gopsy Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 the true mark of a great player in a team game would be how he fares when others are losing their ground beneath them. And on that count he has always failed . And how many battles has he won with the best bowlers in ODI'S , SAY SOMEONE LIKE MCGRATH, Donald, waquar, Akram , he may have had a few success here and there ,and those few have come in pitches of subcontinental type, but on most occasions it has been bowlers like Mcgrath who have won. Can you compare this aspect with someone like Gilchrist who has been able to even tame bowlers like Akram , waquar, any one you name it, has he been able to tame bowlers, knock them out. Rarely. Don't talk statistics when you want to talk about greatness. if you want to talk about good players you could give all the statistics. Tendulkar's Hundreds don't give any indication of greatness. He surely is one of the best though. Link to comment
