Tendulker 200*

**Evil_Genious** · 25-02-2010, 21:56

Since AP went down thanks to Nigerian hackers a lot has happened. Anyway for me the biggest was Sachin Tendulker's phenomenal double century. Which is the first in the history of ODI (about 40 years).

Anyway, I feel compelled to drop my feelings about it. I was sitting at work watching the innings on CricInfo commentry and scoreboard. You know I swear may Allah strike me down if I tell a lie, when he was on 111 I was like he should play for the double century. I know nobodies going to believe me, and I can't and won't make you, I'm just saying what happened.

So anyway, even though Mahendra Dick Dhoni tried his hardest to hold strike and steal the limelight from Sachin and the awesomeness of reaching 200 and beyond, eventually Tendulker done it in the final over. 200 muthafucking runs bitches.

You know, this might come as a suprise to some of you, but contrary to what the uber coolness suggests I'm am of Pakistani origin. But I am as happy as any Indian that Tendulker was the first to the milestone. I've been watching cricket for about 15 years, I think what Saeed Anwar achieved was superhuman, he done it against India, in India. But let me make it clear that Tendulker is in another league to every batsmen I've ever known. He just has a different ability to deal with stress and pressure, the dude has never buckled under the pressure of 1 billion and more people relying on him. Pakistanis and others that want him to fail, the dude is the greatest batsmen that has ever lived. Yes there was Bradman, but I don't think even Bradman played with the pressure Tendulker does.

You know, I'm just a fan of cricket, I love cricket, and I love good cricket, Tendulker loves and respects cricket, he plays and puts his soul into it, he gives his life to it. So really if you hate on Tendulker, you're just a hater, because technically, mentally, statistically and visually he is the best batsmen. I trully believe we'll never see another batsmen of the same quality in our lifetimes and when he does retire we'll start to appreciate the contribution he makes to cricket.

You know when I asked my mum if she heard about Tendulker, she said no, I said he made 200 runs in a ODI and still was not out: you know what she said? She said "MashAllah". And you know, I have to agree, regardless of what Tendulker is and what we all call our lord, we have to aknowledge that he gives without discrimination and to whomever he chooses. So yeah, if you're a hater Pakistani and you're going to hate on me on saying this, then take a few seconds to think about that.

200 and not out. 50 overs. Undisputed pioneer and really is the greatest batsmen of all time. As a Pakistani, cricket lover. I have to salute the general.

Superman batsmen. I hope he plays many more years to come.

Tendulkar is god. I don't even understand how people can say hes ovverated and not in the same standard as ponting just because he has more world cups. But thats the media fuckers for you. He really is god. Someone who starts playing test level cricket at the age of 17 against 30 year old fast and dangerous bowlinng, must be a cricketing sensation. And its true, the people in india love cricket and only see cricket in their lives as something to look forward to, and tendulkar has been carrying this weight for years on his shoulders. Legend. Only he deserves to be first ever man of 200 runs. He survived all 50 overs too. God.

btw i would rep u, but u spelt his name wrong on the title of the thread. Sachin dont deserve that loll.

Dude, I don't even follow cricket on the button. Yet, the name Tendulkar automatically clicks "Awesome Batsman" and to be frank it's done that since I was in Year 7 and even then the P.E. teachers that taught me and perfected my way of cricket were like "go read up on sachin tendulkar" and watch him play. I wonder if he'll get up to the status of Botham and Gatting and Richards as an all round cricketer, if not already.

If your rep is that cheap you can shove it blad. I don't give a fuck about rep. And don't tell me you was gna rep me. I had a bitch tell me she would have sucked my dick if I didn't say something I said. But that don't mean shit to me once I've said it does it? So either do it or don't LOL. Don't talk about it.

Anyway: Sehwag said on CricInfo

"We have had chats about him scoring 200. He thought it was difficult, but I told him only he could do it. Last year in New Zealand, when he retired on 163 I told him he had missed the opportunity, but he said "Agar meri kismat mein hoga toh woh mil jayega [It will eventually happen if I am destined to do it]." He said the same when he got 175 against Australia last year. On Wednesday he said "Woh likha tha, toh mil gaya [I got what was destined]". "

Virender Sehwag: 'I was saying "finish it, finish it"' | Specials | Cricinfo Magazine | Cricinfo.com

Nah mean? If it's destined to happen and God has written that for you. Nobody, not Australia, not NZ not even muthafucking Dhoni could stop it.... BTW, I don't agree with Styles' God declarations, thats blasphemous, I don't go with them ones. But I do say Allah blessed him.

I won't go as far as calling Tendulkar God, primarely because he is too short to be God.

lol

I don't know anybody who has said tendulkar is over rated. But if anybody did, they don't know anything about cricket. Tendulkar is the finest player to ever pick up a bat and I have no hesitation in saying he is the best batsman of all time. He can play any shot, he can make difficult shots look easy, he could be aggressive, he can play controlled, he has style, he is a complete batsman. Aside from him being short, what a man he is, what a player he is! a legend indeed

Let's put things into perspective. Even I could score a century on the flat Indian pitches so catered for towards batsmen. It's almost a non challenge for batsmen vs bowler.
