Tendulkar autobiography

[SLICKR392]

So when Dravid bats slow,its because hes always been like that and not selfish and if others do all hell break loose? It was clear Yuvi was finished.it was more lack of ability

Yuvi's was surely because of the lack of form. But no, all hell breaks loose only when something's against Sachin. Dude has a shield around him!

Dravid was not the fastest ...that is a fact...just like Chepu..... Point is ..will he make an issue out of it if the captain takes a decision for the team which may not be in his personal interest.He might be disappointed.But will he go on and on about it ....like sachin as was the case in Mohali....( I had been in this situation before and did not want a repeat of what had happened to me.)

No I am still on about Yuvi point :mad: How was it selfish when he wasnt chasing a record?:dontknow:

[Magneto]

yeah I also feel that.Ganguly apparently said he wasnt even consulted' date='that sounds bogus[/quote'] He was in the dressing room an over before that. Looked agitated. And he was the series captain in a way, Dravid was just a stand-in. He is anyway too politically correct to take such a decision.

I can't believe how Sachin Bhagats are defending Tendulakr didn't care about this milestones. I am sure he sleeps with his statsbook.

[JaFanatic]

Just two lines and Dravid fanatics are whining for days!

You peeked into his bedroom ?

[SLICKR392]

I hope you guys know that it was Ganguly's doing. It was clear that he walked into the dressing room and incited Dravid.

Din't Sachin say this during that Arnab interview? It was Ganguly's decision or something like that?

[Magneto]

Well' date=' you gotta give back to these Sachin bhakts when they come up with gibberish such as- Dravid and Chappel planned Ganguly's exit from the team. :giggle:[/quote'] Well, the guy who planned the exit was someone else. When Ganguly came back fuming, he was not pissed with Dravid but with someone else.

No I am still on about Yuvi point :mad: How was it selfish when he wasnt chasing a record?:dontknow:

Yuvi was selfish because he should have tried harder even if it meant loosing his wicket as wkt wasn't that crucial...no of balls were.

[Sachin=GOD]

564 posts for his book......ICFers still miss him :sniffle:

[Magneto]

Din't Sachin say this during that Arnab interview? It was Ganguly's decision or something like that?

I don't watch TV so I don't know. But as a Sachin bhakt I feel embarrassed that this thing still gets talked about. I remember I was very pissed with Ganguly then, but it all went away once India won the historic series.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/engvind/engine/match/258470.html so Dravid was selfish here?We led by 300+ in 1st innings,he didnt enforced follow and scored 96 ball 12 :hmmm:

[SLICKR392]

Just two lines and Dravid fanatics are whining for days!

Why?..are only Sachin fans allowed to protest when something's said against him? Multan thing has been going on for a decade even after the Test win

This was more of safety-first. Old school cricket, that even Cook is so fond of.

[Lord]

This was more of safety-first. Old school cricket' date=' that even Cook is so fond of.[/quote'] 96 ball 12?come on.we were leading by 320 and needed to declare in time to bowl them out

[beetle]

Looks like we won the series. Sometimes it makes sense to go for a safe draw and win the series.Old school thought I guess. People are free to slam him and see how he reacts. sachin scored 1 in 11 balls...so it could be the team plan.

We lost an opportunity to win an away Test. Anyway safe draw could have been achieved by batting faster too.England werent gonna chase 450-500.

[SLICKR392]

We were 76-4 and did declare before the end of Day 4. How exactly is that selfish?

Not supporting it. Only Ganguly was playing with a sense of purpose, and Dravid was playing sheet-anchor.
