well, one would have to agree that by saying "Sachin wasn't himself" or that "Sachin didn't give what he was expected of", one is actually referring to the immense talent and ability that this guy has, and the fact that expectations surrounding Sachin are usually for something superhumane. for example, if he scores four thirties in a row, fans go nuts, whereas if someone else does something similar, people are like...oh well, he's having some problems converting those to bigger ones but he'll come back.
