Many of his records are due to the fact that he has played cricket for a very long time. He started playing international cricket very early (which is not very common in India). He has also played for the team when he was clearly out of form (early on Ponting was dropped a few times from the Australian team due to bad performance). He is still a great player. But not the greatest. Welcome and thank you Nalini,

You are correct.

Many of his records are due to the fact that he has played cricket for a very long time. He started playing international cricket very early (which is not very common in India).

He is still a great player. But not the greatest.

He is good but he is old and needs to retire. Nice write up, I must say.

But great players in all sports "will" their team to victories when it matters the most. Most people who follow cricket for the past thirty years would agree that Sachin played with much more established players than a player like Gavasker ever did. Welcome Vijay,

Only if all the player in Indian Team contributed well, then it would have been a different ball game. There are many matches where It was just sachin who would have scored runs and rest of the players not contributing through their bats or balls. Sachin first double century is the moment which would have bought tears on many Indian's. Vijay http://www.keepwrite.com Sachin as an individual is been compared to another team.
