SACHIN FAILS YET AGAIN PURSUING PERSONAL RECORDS (2nd Nov 2009, 2330 Hrs)

SACHIN FAILS YET AGAIN PURSUING PERSONAL RECORDS (2nd Nov 2009, 2330 Hrs)

Blame it on Sunil Gavaskar for pressurizing Sachin even before the Australian series started. His PR activities have backfired on Sachin’s dismissal performance. A pity that Gavaskar had to shout aloud to warn the Australians about Sachin’s vengeance with a hunger to create more individual milestones rather than play for his country’s pride! Gavaskar’s statement – “The series will be Sachin Vs Australia!”… Foot-in-mouth, the Little Master’s PR announcement has backfired so badly that Sachin has been a complete flop against the Australians, scoring just 90 runs in four outings…

His continuous failure to win matches for India reflects his selfish motives to create more individual records. 4 in 8 balls, 14 in 29 balls, 32 in 47 balls and today 40 in 68 balls…
The nervousness of losing his milestone for 17000 runs is making him edgy and the number of balls he is taking to score those runs says it all. It is a pity that every Indian must be asking as to why this great batsman has been playing more to create his individual record rather than play for the country. It is a pity that GREATNESS is reflected in such a big failure and not even in a single match he has been a match winner.

Today, once again while trying to create his individual records, he succumbed against the Australians. He has always played one great innings followed by ten flop shows and still the selectors stick by him… he should gracefully retire to keep his dignity rather than pursue his individual records and fail every time, there by jeopardizing India’s winning chance. While Dravid scores 79 in Champions Trophy and yet is dropped from the team, Sachin’s continuous failure shows how strongly he has been playing politics to stay in team India. It is time BCCI should ask Sachin to step down gracefully thereby giving a youngster a better chance to groom for the 2011 World Cup!
