Hey guys🤗

I have a discussion for you guys to tell what u think.

Is it right to blame Sachin Tendulkar?

Here's an article i found and then some of my opinions and questions for u guys to answer:

I am shattered beyond words: Sachin Tendulkar
New Delhi, April 04: The split in Indian cricket is now evident with veteran player Sachin Tendulkar coming head on against coach Greg Chappell's remarks. In an interview to a newspaper Tendulkar said, "No coach had ever criticised my attitude even in passing." He also added "I have never felt so bad in my entire career".

"I've given my heart and my soul for 17 years. No coach had mentioned even in passing that my attitude was not correct," the 33-year-old batsman was quoted as saying in a newspaper on Wednesday.

"Cricket has been my life for all these years and will always be."

Local media on Tuesday quoted sources close to the India coach as saying that Chappell was to raise the issue of the attitude of top players at the national board's meeting later this week.

"Tell me, the world has gone on talking about all this (our defeat and exit) but has anybody spared a thought for us? Did they try to find out what we have been going through?" Tendulkar said.

"I am shattered beyond words and I feel helpless. I've never felt so bad in my entire career."

The 1983 winners crashed out in the first round of the event after losing two out of three group matches, to Bangladesh and former champions Sri Lanka.

Irate fans and a number of former players have called for the axe to fall on captain Rahul Dravid and Chappell, while senior players are also under fire.

Even Tendulkar may not escape the wrath of the cricket-crazy fans. A majority of the respondents to polls being conducted by private television channels want him to retire.

Darling of Indian households since making his debut as a curly-haired 16-year-old in 1989, Tendulkar flopped against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and managed only a half century against Bermuda.

"No matter how many tests or one-day series you win, nothing else even comes close to a World Cup triumph. The World Cup was our passion, our collective goal, our dream and that has been shattered. We all are terribly disappointed over it," he said.

"Again, it's not that we are defending ourselves. We do realise that we played badly and, as a team, we take full responsibility for that. But what hurt us most is if the coach has questioned our attitude."

The two-day board meeting, beginning on Friday, is expected to decide the future of several senior members of the World Cup team and coach Chappell.

If I was asked about this I would only say that its wrong to blame Sachin and I dont think we can blame the Indian team for not playing well.When they win then there is no issue or no problem but when they loose there's a big issue created. Why do this?Why blame them for no reason?yes, i know that they lost and got out of the World Cup in the First place but dont u guys agree with this fact that when there is winning then there has to be loosing.

Some Questions for u guys:

    Do u think that Sachin is to be blamed?
    Why or Why not?
    Don't u think that it's not only Sachin's fault but can be or is the whole team's fault?
    Why is there a big issue being created with the fact that India Lost, Whereas there is no problem when they win?
    Is Sachin's quoting right or wrong?
    Does he really want the Captainship?
  • Or Is it just the Media who is making a big deal?

I think that is it from me. Lets keep going with this Discussion and face the truth. Please keep it clean.😊

    Do u think that Sachin is to be blamed? No way!
    Why or Why not? Because the whole team are at fault!
    Don't u think that it's not only Sachin's fault but can be or is the whole team's fault? Whole team
    Why is there a big issue being created with the fact that India Lost, Whereas there is no problem when they win? Because the country expects a lot with the quality of players they have. And Cricket is the main sport in India.
    Is Sachin's quoting right or wrong? Right.
    Does he really want the Captainship? No
  • Or Is it just the Media who is making a big deal? Media making a mountain of a molehill😡

    Why is there a big issue being created with the fact that India Lost, Whereas there is no problem when they win? thia was not the question of only losing ,but losing ina degrading manner and that too to a minnows team.that really hurts ,man!Go down fighting just as srilanka did with SA ,then no one will complain.
    Is Sachin's quoting right or wrong?no comments.
    Does he really want the Captainship?No,he has tasted it before and found it bitter.

    Do u think that Sachin is to be blamed? Partly....
    Why or Why not?
    Coz he didn't exactly perform up to our expectations, he is the only good or rather best opening batsmen for Team India.
    Don't u think that it's not only Sachin's fault but can be or is the whole team's fault?
    Yes...When India wins, its the whole team that wins...when India loses its the whole team that has to be blamed.
    Why is there a big issue being created with the fact that India Lost, Whereas there is no problem when they win?Good question!! 😃Perhaps, there aren't any mistakes when India win and they have performed what we expected from them!
    Is Sachin's quoting right or wrong?
    Honestly, I didn't read the article....I opened this post to post my views!😳
    Does he really want the Captainship?
    I don't think he should become the captain because I think he can't perform well under pressure. He is a really good player and his fans want him to play nicely so...I think he better stay out of this!
  • Or Is it just the Media who is making a big deal?
    I don't think so....they are just reporting on the views and opinions of people although some news channels really overdo this "reporting"! and that really bugs me!😡

    Do u think that Sachin is to be blamed? yes.
    Why or Why not? he could have made us win if he performed well..we could won against Bangladesh is he batted the way he has been. He is totally out of form!!!
    Don't u think that it's not only Sachin's fault but can be or is the whole team's fault? well it's everyone's but Ganguly's fault. No one showed their best!!!
    Why is there a big issue being created with the fact that India Lost, Whereas there is no problem when they win? Its very shameful to lose in the first round..and everyone like victory!!
    Is Sachin's quoting right or wrong? it can go both ways!!
    Does he really want the Captainship? i dont think so...he doesn't want to get bashed around more than he is right now!!
  • Or Is it just the Media who is making a big deal? it's his fault and the media's for hyping it up!!

Great DOTW!!!😉👏

    Do u think that Sachin is to be blamed? yes he should
    Why or Why not? bcoz he too is part of the Indian team that lost
    Don't u think that it's not only Sachin's fault but can be or is the whole team's fault? Its the whole team first but then as the most experienced and the glory and fame that indian fans have given him, he is a little more responsible .If he can be given the status of GOD and given so much adulation and accolades when he scores, he accepts with both hands so why does he refuse to accept criticism as well when he failed.
    Why is there a big issue being created with the fact that India Lost, Whereas there is no problem when they win?
    I dont care whether they won or lost , atleast for me the problem was their attitude . They played without any spirit,enthusiasm nor the attitude .As a viewer I would be dissapointed when the team representing our nation doesnt even have an iota of spirit to atleast try to play well for the billions of people and their nation.
    Is Sachin's quoting right or wrong? Wrong
    Does he really want the Captainship? NO
  • Or Is it just the Media who is making a big deal? Media does create a big hype but then cricket is such a big thing in media and oviously they would cash in on it.

I mean they want accolades,money ,praises, adulation when they win or perform well but they wont take any criticism ,any responsibility for the way they lost and failed . do they think they should go scott free whatever may be the outcome. What are they being paid for , to play the game with spirit and enthusiasm and put on a good fight , if they cant do that then they should be held responsible . They need the records , the awardsbut they would put the blame on the coach if something goes wrong. Its very clear that politics exist in teams and its prevalent right from the management to the team and if someone points it out, they become the scapegoat to save their skin.

Sachin is a great player and for the 17 years he gave for cricket, he got a lot too . He received the status of god, he received fan adulation and what not . Now when he is not performing well , what does he expect that people should continue to appreciate what he did in the past and let go .Thats a wrong way to look at it . As I said he spoke up only when his attitude was questioned. Now all will speak up to save their skin .Ultimately people will fall in their trap too and they will continue to play like this without any spirit and no one would be able to say anything against them and they will continue to rule and earn lots and even if someone does raise their voice, thats it , they will all get together to save their own skin and make thema scapegoat.

Do u think that Sachin is to be blamed?
yes , why not

Why or Why not?
hes not special, and he didnt perform against bangladesh or slanka bermuda doesnt matter

Don't u think that it's not only Sachin's fault but can be or is the whole team's fault?

its the teams fault but then nobody else in the team is pampered like sachin and nobody else has been declared God

Why is there a big issue being created with the fact that India Lost, Whereas there is no problem when they win?

Issues were always there its just when india loose they come out in the open

Is Sachin's quoting right or wrong?

absolutely wrong just because yr attitude is questioned and that too the report has not been handed to the bcci and u r not sure whether this has been actually written and u come out attacking yr coach is shameful just bec he probably showed u the mirror and u cudnt accept it and truth hurts doesnt it and it did hurt sachin

Does he really want the Captainship?

Yes , when form fails u get the captaincy , its the easiest way to stick arnd and make money ...

Or Is it just the Media who is making a big deal?

media they have ruined so many people and things this time its indian cricket team's turn



lastly i agree with tina59 completely ne body who shows them the mirror and tries to remove their comfort zone is made the scapegoat and this incident has set a bad precedent where no future coach will do nething cos they no players here are above the team and the game of cricket itself....
