Lack Of Support

For people who talk about Tendulkar's great innings being wasted thanks to lack of support, here is what the term "lack of support" really means.



12 runs were scored before Lara walked in to bat; 10 after he left !!


Can you believe it ??
Another masterpiece is going to go in vain. I mean this is just sick !! A glorious 196 - LOST. A magnificent 176 - LOST. This for a man whose 202 against South Africa a year ago had also resulted in a loss as had a 221 against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka in 2001. And that too when he scored a 100 in the second innings as well !!

At least most of the "great" efforts by Tendulkar resulted in draws not in defeats like this. Talk about heroic tragedies !!!

yeah..lara's case is much worse than SRT, probably the worst! SRT's innings lead to draw often just coz indian team is not as pathetic as that of windies...(we can at least make sure that we don't lose)

Too many quotes in the post. does that mean you think Tendulkar had more support than what Lara is getting now ? Isn't that contradictory ?if that's the case then there is more reason to blame to rest of the 90s Indian team by not fully giving 100% of that support.
