Sachin Bashers, or the “Vice (It’s not a TYPO) old men” of Indian cricket criticism, have risen from the ashes like the Phoenix bird and they have put the broken record back on saying “He is not a match-winner.”
One very-knowledgeable person claimed, “Sachin was playing for the sake of his personal milestone. If he was a true team-player, he should have played the full 50 overs. Then he should have opened the bowling and after delivering the ball he should have doubled up to the slips and taken the catch when the ball flew off the outside edge. As the senior player, he should have handled the post-match press conference as well so that Dhoni wouldn’t have had to take the heat.”
Another one asked, “A lot of his fans call him GOD. Well! Not even a single person has been exploited in his name. Not a single war fought on his name. And you call him God! Preposterous!!”
“A match-winner is defined as the person who scores the winning runs. All that comes before are not considered as match-winning contributions. Hrishikesh Kanitkar, for example. He scored the final boundary in that famous chase by India in Dhaka. Now, HE, is a true match-winner. Or Jogi Baba, he took the last wicket to fall in the T20 World cup final. Another true match-winner.”, another VICE guy beautifully explained the concept of a “MATCH-WINNER” between gulps of KF strong beer.
“His fitness level and commitment is questionable. Why are people making such a big deal of 99 international centuries? Look I’m 44 years old and I just brought up my 200th ODI century”, said the fourth vice man, while slouching in his couch with a packet of Potato Chips in one hand and a joy-stick on the other, playing a popular video game version of Cricket.
P.S : Get a LIFE people!!
