SACHIN TENDULKAR: No Hundred In His Last 21 Tests

OK Folks!

THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE!


* In his last 21 tests, going back to July 2011, the great Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar has not scored a test hundred.

* In those 21 tests Sachin has averaged a mediocre 31.80

* Sachin has retired from onedayers and T20s

* But Sachin earned 22 million US last year---most in endorsements

* So it is very difficult for Sachin to walk away from cricket---22 million dollars is 22 million dollars.

We all know Sachin is god-like in India----the great man cannot be dropped.

THE BCCI IS DOING ITS BEST TO HELP SACHIN SCORE ANOTHER TEST HUNDRED.


They have invited the West Indies to play 2 tests in India----Sachin would have played 200 tests after the WI series.


CONCLUSION:

Good to see the BCCI show loyalty and respect to the great Sachin.


LET SACHIN DECIDE WHEN HE WANTS TO LEAVE.

It's hard for Sachin to walk away from 22 million----that's how much he made last year.

The last time Sachin scored a hundred against the West Indies was 11 years ago----he made 176 at Eden gardens in Oct 2002.

I actually HATE watching Tendulkar bat these days.  He's become a shell of his former self.  Crap dibbly dobbly bowlers are getting him out.  I mean who wants to remember him as a struggling old man holding on past his sell by date getting bowled down by crap bowlers? 

Well I am sure Sachin will get back his groove playing against Tino ~

Sachin's numbers in his last 2 years reflect his steep decline---31.80 average in 21 tests---and no hundred.

But like I said---Sachin earned 22 million US last year---at an exchange rate of 61.80---that's 1,359,960,000 rupees.

Sachin is finding it very difficult to walk away from 1.4 billion rupees a year.


RE: SACHIN VS SHIV

If Shiv were to average less than 40 in either or both series against India and New Zealand----the Rev would be the first to scream---he must retire----it's imperative that Shiv ends his career with a 50+ test average.

SO ZERO SERIES FAILURES WILL BE TOLERATED FROM SHIV FROM HENCEFORTH.

Sachin's overall test average is still 53.87----so he can fail a few more series----and still end with a 50+ test average.
