Border ke us paar,,,Kallis makes a silent comeback to the SA team (English purists - Please reply....do you "make a comeback to the team or comeback in the team"???) and scores a century in each innings against Pachha Pasanaga (Tamil equivalent of green boys or Pakistanis) and Robin Jackman wallops...hey hey my turn to say "you are looking at the best batsmen ever"
Ofcourse when Ponting scores a century against who cares or Lara scores a ton against who cares or who cares scores a ton against some team,,,there is some or the other who cares commentator announcing that this who cares is the best batsmen in the world...hai ki nahi???
Amidst so many contenders for the coveted "best batsmen in the world" tag...there is wonly won batman and robin who can be the best batman and robin in the world,,, agreed???
Abhi tak kuch naya nahi bola...lekin please padho... meri behen ko cancer hain...aap nahi padhenge aage to uski shaadi rukk jayeegi,,please...
The pertinent question to me atleast is, after all, among all these best batman and robin who is the real first among equals??? who is the best best batsmen in the world...aaajkal bolte hain na...who is the bestest batsmen in the world????
Lets,,, in true VII standard geometry style,,,assume Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is...if we cant prove it then the assumption is baseless...albatta if it is John Wright,, then HENCE PROVED..wokkay????
Salutory Warning - The contents in this article are biased yet pious in nature- I am a sachin Bhakth, true, mad sachin bhakth...somebody asked me kya tu sachin ke liye homo ban jaayega kya???CHooddna please dont ask me such questions...choddna not chodna,,, choddna please lets prove the theorem - The Sachin Bhakthi theorem....
Data - Aankho dekha haal, cricinfo, various other blogs, various interviews, my blood test, other batsmen's performance
Claim - Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is the best best batsmen in the world
Proof -
- Has always been selfish,,specially when he nears his century
- Slow ho gaya howratt,,Why doesnt he play his natural game?
- Bloody innings kya ho gaya, ki A/C dressing room main full aaraam, where is boost and his energy secret???
- Tu hi bol, whenever he scores a century India match haarthi hai ki nahi, tu hi bol???
- And well... Saala paisa ke liye kheltha hain
- Boss, why does he not step out to spinners like South Africa's Harris
- Boss he is the best batsmen in the world against Kenya, Bangladesh, u get the drift, dont u???
- He is the man to have for all finals as long he is in the opposition, right??When required sachin never fires...how true???lets see
- More potential vaale Youngsters will become oldsters before our 34 year old Sachin retires...
- Lara is a better matchwinner than Sachin
- Forget everything...we can simply look at him and say he is struggling...look at his footage in the 1990s on Zee Sports, Ten Sports, etc. and look at his Sydney innings (241 against Aus)
Abhi tak kuch naya nahi bola...lekin please padho... meri behen ko cancer hain...aap nahi padhenge aage to uski shaadi rukk jayeegi,,please......
Are these all????I am willing to bite dust if i dont manage to negate even 1 assumption...and will not end with HENCE PROVED...
Basically only if all the assumptions are negated, can we claim that Sachin is the best best batsmen on earth, mars, jupiter, venus and mine and ur anus,,wokayyy???
Lets Go:
Criticizm 1- Has always been selfish,,specially when he nears his century
Counter 1 - Correct assumption...basically 41 times out of 400 innings and atleast 15 more times when he has missed his century to the world's most successful bowler - Mr. Nervous Nineties...
Actually this doesnt require a counter - Does scoring 90 or more over 55 times make him the most selfish batsmen in the world, (please revert)....show me one batsmen who has been selfish more than 50 times.....please visit cricinfo and subtract the kenya, bangla innings,, he outshines the rest comfortably..
Does it mean that when he doesnt near his century he is selfless..The sheer number of times he has come close to scoring a century makes him the best... add to it the number of times he has crossed it...
Lets not be hypocrites - I challenge both of us (u and me) to have a willow in hand and bat in the 90s,..even if we get out once the flak we ll receive and the fuckol feeling of getting out in the 90s will deter us from ever playing fearlessly in the 90s....
Besides, lets agree that today this great team game's staunchest talking point is the number of centuries, half centuries, all individual records etc. .i dont buy the arguement that he is selfish,,,a mature cerebrum will interpret it as a more careful Sachin in his 90s because a set batsmen crossing the 3 figure mark is always more dangerous than the next batsmen raw and fresh, isnt HE??
Without a fearless, selfless Sachin the Pakistan world cup win would never have been possible
Besides - Selfish is when u run ur partners out..Sachin is the best judge of a run...i ll infact go ahead and say that my favorite DADA also owes a lot of his records to Sachin...without some like Sachin,, dada wouldnt have scored so many runs in one day as he would ve been run out half of the times, forget running his partners out...he doesnt even call for a runner even when he is injured(again most highlighted example - Ind Vs. Pak, 2003 - Centurion)
...i guess my arguement is becoming weak now...if u agree lets go the 2nd assumption now, else lets go to the 2nd assumption later
Conclusion1 - Sachin and Selfish - Sorry wrong number
Criticizm 2 - Slow ho gaya howratt,,Why doesnt he play his natural game?
Counter 2 - See i told u i am not a gay fan who is blindly in love with Sachin...i agree Sachin has shifted gears,, ..let me supply substantial reasons why??
Now let me drag my favorite keeper Dhoni....Do u remember how Jharkhand da Sher was when he 1st burst onto the scene???? SLAM BANG DHONI
One world cup failure, basically just 2 matches - Bangla and Lanka and the Sher has shifted gears...dont u agree that Dhoni is much watchful these days???
To me, this explanation is enlightening...Do u know the amount of expectations Sachin carries on his shhoulders ...10 SOT innings followed by one failure means Sorry Sachin time up and pack up(SOT - SEX ON TOAST)..
The amount of Success he has had viz-a-viz the level of expectations itself confirms SRT's greatness...No, Lara doesnt go through it, no, ponting doesnt go through it, Steve never went through it,, Sanath doesnt go through it only Inzamam goes through it to an extent, which is why, to me he is the 2nd best batsmen in the world after Sachin....
Its very easy to discount the above mentioned...ask Lara why he thinks Sachin is better,, this is the exact argument he ll supply..
By shifting gears Sachin has ensured that he his std. deviation is minimal, his mean is almost equal to his median and his strike rate is still a healthy 85 plus....
Conclusion2 - I am happy Sachin is howratt for runs, arent u??? go suck a lemon
The natural game theory
P.S. - This is an independent theory in itself, u can skip it, my ailing sister wont mind
Lets reflect what we mean by play ur natural game...Its highly opinionated world..sometimes flashy words get the better of us..
Do u know why my favorite Rahul Dravid was left out of the oneday team...
Answer - Ya,,,because he was busy playing his natural game...he has become a certainty in the team over the years only because he never ever played his natural game since his comeback since the the New Zealand tour
Basically when we say play ur natural game...we refer to Sanath's or Afridi's natural game...
When Sehwag plays his natural game and gets out cheaply...there is GOLD FLAK..when Dravid plays his natural game and doesnt get out there is Chotta GOLD FLAK....
Natural game is what every individual player thinks he is most comfortable playing..it doesnt refer to slam bang hitting alone...hence every individual including sachin should be the sole judge of what his or her natural game is...ya even she could have a natural game, cant she???
Hence please dont refer to the natural game theory loosely
Criticizm 3 - Bloody innings kya ho gaya, ki A/C dressing room main full aaraam, where is boost and his energy secret???
Counter 3 - This is the probably the most valid criticizm that can almost be successfully levelled against Sachin...i think he should watch BABA Ramdeo's Pranayama for better health and fitness daily at 5:30 am on Aastha channel.....
Sachin's body is ailing, no question about it...some geniuses have a frail body..it tends to break down after 18 years of non stop cricket...
Please refer to an indian express article about what sachin does when he is the dressing room...i ll see if i can post the link...
the article says, His muscles are almost always torn beyond repair after each knock ...but somehow a half to 3 quarters fit sachin is always doubly Sameera ready for the next game...for all those who dont know...this boy's passion for the game (not just batting), but bowling, fielding and thinking is unparalleled...even if he is half fit he makes his way to the middle....besides what can our problem possibly be??....for a few its a win win situation for all except the opposition...
While Sachin regains his health, there is an enthusiastic rohit sharma or karthikk to replace him,,, more runs are saved and lo and behold sachin has just scored more runs than those added to his tally and all this perfectly legal and within the rules...
Conclusion 3 - Its better to stay in the dressing room when u r fatigued than on the field and receive GOLD FLAK for any misfield
Criticizm 4 - Tu hi bol, whenever he scores a century India match haarthi hai ki nahi, tu hi bol??
Counter 4 - The cerebrum is just behind the cerebellum, while the real BUM is just staring at this computer in front of u who thinks that this is a criticizm..
This is an easy criticizm to counter
If he scores zero...does india always win??? would u prefer him to score a century or Duck
Duck maara tho surely GOLD FLAK., century maara tho bhi GOLD FLAK...
Lets apply a little bit of gyri and sulci to agree that its fashionable to cook up such theories..coz no batsmen has scored more centuries or 90s for a winning cause than Sachin....
If he has scored so many in vain centuries then the defeats have been despite sachin and not because of him...lets impute the blame on our bowlers too...
We are a better batting side when we set targets and we are poorer bowling sides when we defend targets..which means our better bet is our worse bet simply because we can have full faith in our bowlers to let the opposition as close as possible while bowling 2nd...
Give my team one quality bowler and let sachin score a century then...we will be deserved world champs
Conclusion 4 - Blame it on the bowlers if sachin tons it and india never wins it
Criticizm 5 - And well... Saala paisa ke liye kheltha hain
Counter 5- Boss thats his job...to expect more money from ur job that forces u to retire if u have a couple of bad days at work is understandable...
Besides he doesnt earn money through fixed matches..atleast till he is proven guilty...do u know how many crores my favorite actors SRK, Rajnikanth and Kareena kapoor get to do a film??? to act..where there is a script and an easily foolable audience...and hey do they care if the film flops or hits,, of course not...kareena says ..i am happy with my role...if a film flops i dont care..as long as i get to do another film at the same price..saaali Xth fail...
Lets not envy his wealth...usko bhi inzamam-ul-HAQ hai paisa kamaane kaa....besides the money he earns is a reflection of how much advertisers can pay which in turn is a reflection of how much we like to see him selling our favorite cars, drink and biskuts
Conclusion - Look at numbers but not the ones in HIS wallet but on the scorecard
Criticizm 6 - Boss, why does he not step out to spinners like South Africa's Harris??
Counter 6 - Again, if u agree that he is playing as per the situation and his natural game (according to my natural game theory), then u would know that Sachin over the years has minimized the number of ways bowlers can get him out and not stepping out to Harris just advocates our point....Each opposition targets the best batsmen from the opposite camp and plot his downfall...sachin's wicket is still plotted...a true tribute to his greatness
When bowlers sort u out, its a challenge to minimize the number of ways to get u out..u will automatically score more runs...
Conclusion6 -Negative bowlers need not teach Sachin how to bat against them, geniuses find their own way...
Criticizm 7 - Boss he is the best batsmen in the world against Kenya, Bangladesh, u get the drift, dont u???
Counter - Simple...do u know how many matches we play against these teams in a year???
For someone like Sachin doing well against lesser teams is a double edged sword....If doesnt play well..he is useless for he cant even play against lesser teams and if he does the reaction is my premise itself...
Sachin is the most consistent performer we have had against all teams...he goes about his job silently and because of the double edged sword situation his performance is independant of his performance against lesser teams...
Conclusion 7- He plays against lesser teams as well
