Real players shine more when pressure is on. Sachinn failed to do so and keep failing in tight situations. Today he failed to delivered again in such a tight situation. His failing in 4th innings was another example. He is a legend no doubt but he is also very overrated.

We don't realize this, but once all of them are done playing, this will come out.
Even though Ponting's form has gone down a bit, I'd love to be some one like Ponting. He won Aus a lot of matches, he lead the team from the front. And he is a badass captain.
And when was the last time Tendulkar played outside of flatland in last 2 years?

he proves my and many other Indian fans point yet again.
Lax will save India yet again. Not Sachin. Sachin will score 100 in the next game though, I guess that's when it really matters the most.

Tendulkar is great for his statistical achievements, consistency, his technique, and physical batsmanship. However I think he fails mentally. As oppossed to a guy like Laxman.
It would be interesting to see how many choke jobs vs match winning knocks different great batsman have played...that research would be tedious but rewarding.

well said.. Agreed... Tendu is not a match winner.... When the team badly needed him to score then he'll failed 2 score surely...
