Tendulkar's world-record 200

[Hyde]

Wrong title. It should rather have been "First ODI double century ".

when the thread was created

it was only a century

 

[paritosh]

in another words, Sehwag got no brain and not milestone set in his mind

that is the key reason why i say he is not a proper batsmen..... he just know how to Hit the ball........ he plays more like a baseball........ just hit the ball and leave the results on to God.

No technical shots only HIT HIT and HIT

precisely...but still manages to have a test record that is gthe envy of most!
makes all the techniques in the world look stupid...
he has the mind of a soldier...jaat budhhi...

 

[footmarks]

yes but he comes under the category of players like

Afridi, Jayasuriya, Morgan and few other sloggy players

Afridi??
Have a break man, Most of the people with some cricketing sense will not even consider him as a batsman. I personally like him for his aggressive way of playing and there is also some king of style in the way he carries himself on the field. Apart from that, he's is just an ordinary bowling allrounder. Nothing, absolutely nothing in him to be comparable of sehwag. He is more comparable to Yusuf pathan.

 

[Jatt Boy]

Tennis elbow took its toll, Tendulkar especially in his prime (1996-2003) made an absolute mockery of any bowler in his way. He was most destructive batsmen.

Virender Sehwag
Adam Gilchrist
Sachin Tendulkar
Brian Lara

^ There's a top 4 who made batting look so easy and dismantled attacks with ease.

IMO Sehwag has slight edge, he single handedly changed the course of the matches and win it sometimes from the jaws of defeat. Even Lara and Sachin failed to do so in their prime.

Mr X - Ask Sri Lankans, best spin attack they have, Sehwag rules !!! Fast bowlers, slow bowlers, India, SA, Aus , he has performed everywhere. No one can score 3 triple centuries by HIT HIT (Slog). Even Inzamam admires Sehwag, 'I have never seen any batsman hit the cut shot harder than Sehwag'.

 

[Ingis]

You know its indian cricket pitch .. even Salman Butt can stroke play and make 100 on that pitch

Wait for Amla he will probbly make 200 on this pitch

Now what Mr. Azad Pakistan?

Planning to hide in your "patli galli" with your big mouth?

Oh... and if you haven't yet... care to go through the scorecard again?

'Glad I'm not bowling to him'

A selection of tributes on Sachin Tendulkar's double-century

Sachin Tendulkar is congratulated by MS Dhoni after rewriting the record books, 2nd ODI, Gwalior, February 24, 2010

Aamer Sohail: "if you ask Saeed Anwar, he would say he's happy that Tendulkar broke his record. The reason for his success is that he has a great respect for the game."

Aamer Sohail, Saeed Anwar's good friend and opening partner, pays a fitting tribute to the new record-holder

"He should aim for more. Maybe a Test innings of 450 or an ODI knock of 250. And then he himself wants to win next year's World Cup. There is a little boy in Tendulkar who wants to keep playing. That spirit keeps him going. It's absolutely incredible how he keeps going."

Keeping with the Mumbai ways, Sunil Gavaskar is not yet sated

"Come on Sachin my friend get your 200. World record to please! You deserve it… Nervous for my good friend Sachin everything crossed for you mate… Glad I'm not bowling to him today ha ha ha."

Tendulkar's old pal Shane Warne tweets his excitement as he nears the double-century

"It shows his mental and physical toughness. He's a player who does not throw away his wicket once he's set. He always places a huge price on his wicket."

Dilip Vengsarkar salutes the attributes that such a knock needs

"Sachin - the greatest ever player ever - without any doubt… I salute Sachin... World's greatest sportsman. We can see him only rise. (He is an) inspiration to us all. He is the best."

IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi waxes beyond eloquent, on his twitter page

"What an innings it was. He had come close to achieving it twice. I always felt that Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya are capable of doing that."
Kumar Sangakkara has not forgotten Tendulkar's recent dazzling form

"He is my favourite player. I had said that one day he would go on to break all batting records and now you see him scoring runs and runs."
Javed Miandad kinda saw it coming

"Whatever record is seen to be impossible to achieve, he makes it possible.

The one and only Sachin Tendulakar.

Sehwag has a technique - it is just not classical - this makes it difficult to set a field to him than say a more orthodox batter like dravid or youhana. You will never see either of them hit an inside-out shout through the covers to a yorker pitched on leg stump in a test match. Sehwag has achieved a lot - but he is just not in the same league as some of the others.

What makes Sachin so special to India and the cricketing world is not just the way he plays the game but also how he conducts himself on and off the field. He doesn't throw tantrums on the field, never questions decisions, is never in the news for affairs or link-ups, is a doting father - that is the way we like to see our heroes / role models - as perfect human beings. Great sportsmen like Tiger Woods and Maradona have been carried away by this "role model" tag - but I have only seen two sportsmen who have conducted themselves with his dignity and grace - one is Sachin, the other is Federer.

There have been so many controversies around ricky pointing that he may be everything except a gentlemen ......READ THIS



RICKY PONTING, admitting he has an alcohol problem, has been removed from the Australian limited-overs cricket team because of an incident in a Sydney nightclub in which he was knocked unconscious.

Australian Cricket Board chief executive Malcolm Speed said that the batsman would be stood down until an investigation into the incident was completed.

Speed said it was expected that Ponting would be charged under the board's code of conduct. Ponting, who had a black left eye, said he had no recollection of the incident which happened at a night-club in Kings Cross in the early hours of Monday morning. He said the next thing he remembered was being in the team's hotel. "I have to admit to myself

Sachin Tendulkar got into the groove with some attacking shots...

...and some deft touches

Dinesh Karthik gave good company at the other end

Sachin Tendulkar brought up a fine hundred early, and it looked like he was good for a lot more

He duly doubled his score before the end of the innings

No technical shots only HIT HIT and HIT

True Sehwag's innings are not impeccable. His style is such that he offers chances. But as his record goes, he is favoured by God. Now, who are we to give judgement on Sehwag when God is taking his side.

True test of a batsman is test, right??
When a batsman hits two triple tons and gets on the verge of hitting a third one in test matches, you have to overlook his techniques.

Tendulkar's finest ODI performances

Sachin Tendulkar's ODI career is studded with memorable performances, but a few of them stand out for their sheer brilliance

143 v Australia, Sharjah, 1997-98

India are chasing Australia's 284, but more importantly they need to score 254 to beat New Zealand on net run-rate, and make their way to the final. Single-handedly, Tendulkar takes India close to the cut-off when sandstorms disrupt the play. Just when making it to the final looks difficult, Tendulkar not only takes them beyond that target, but for a brief while even flirts with a win.

134 v Australia, Sharjah, 1997-98

It surely couldn't have got better. It does. Two days later, at the same venue, chasing a similar 273 to win the final, Tendulkar decimates the Australian attack. By the time he is out in the 45th over, he has left India only 25 more to get. Shane Warne is so devastated he confesses Tendulkar hits him for sixes in his nightmares.

141 and 4 for 38 v Australia, Dhaka, 1997-98

Six months after having destroyed Aussie bowlers' psyche, Tendulkar meets them again in big-match environment: the quarter-final of the ICC Champions Trophy. And again, single-handedly, he puts Australia out of the game with his third century against them in three matches. His 141 come in 128 balls, and India are 280 in the 46th over when he gets out. To put the matter beyond doubt, Tendulkar kills an interesting contest by dismissing Steve Waugh, Michael Bevan, and Damien Martyn in his 4 for 38. Tendulkar is clearly dominating Australia like no other single player has ever done before.

98 v Pakistan, Centurion, 2003

Tendulkar has been compelled to live this World Cup match against Pakistan for a year in advance. He has not slept properly for 12 nights going into the match. A target of 274 set for India, bat in hand, Tendulkar shows no anxiety whatsoever. Or is it that nervous energy? He just finishes his hyped battle against Shoaib Akhtar in the latter's first over with an uppercut for six, and then a flick and a straight block for two boundaries. Every bowler is dealt with similar disdain. He has not looked more pumped up before. And although he misses a special century, he leaves the match sealed in the 28th over.

117 not out v Australia, Sydney, 2007-08

Going into the first final of the CB Series, Tendulkar has not achieved many things: an ODI century in Australia, a century in 37 innings, a chase-winning century since 2001, a century in any chase since March 2004. In a 235-minute masterclass, he washes it all away, scoring 117 off 120 balls and leading India to the 240-run target on a difficult wicket just about solo. He dominates in the initial overs, shepherds the tentative middle order, and stays unbeaten to see the side home.

175 v Australia, Hyderabad, 2009-10

Australia have amassed a massive 350 on a flat pitch in Hyderabad, and Tendulkar almost chases it, single-handedly, with no support to speak of. Displays through the innings how he has mastered the art of scoring quick runs without taking any risks. The only support comes from Virender Sehwag (38) and Suresh Raina (59), but they both look like getting out any time. Tendulkar, who scores 175 off 141 balls, gives hardly a chance through the classic. When he does take risk, it's worth preserving those shots in an album: the stepping out to spinners and lofts straight down the ground, and the unbelievably late flicks, even later late cuts. It all ends in heartbreak, though: in Chennai in 1998-99, Tendulkar, having played an innings as incredible as this, left the last three wickets 17 to get; on this night he leaves them 19 off 17. The rest choke like they did in Chennai.

Its quite stupid that guys here are comparing Inzi to Sachin, really there is no comparison here really, Inzi is great but Sachin defines modern day bating. Not only does he carry hopes for over 1 billion people but also manages to do that with upmost honesty and humility. Have you ever seen sachin get angry or swear ? really stop trolling and learn to accept the facts. When legends the Richi Benaud and the don himself rate him second to none i dont think we have any right to question him. And Shane Warne has nightmares about Sachin not anyone else. lol
