True Lies

A place to look back while moving ahead

Welcome back Sachin !!!

With all this match fixing scandals, poor performances, email leaks, Dalmiya`s dirty politics, Chappel-Ganguly spat, my interest for cricket increases every day…My first work of day starts with rediff cricket,cricinfo, cricket.expressindia.com.

On my personal view cricket.expressindia.com tops my list immediately followed by cricinfo. I stopped reading cricket.indiatimes.com as I feel its too biased.

Well coming back to heading I have posted, eagerly awaited Sachin`s return is marked on Aug 14th Srilankan tri series. I feel the best of Sachin is yet to come. Well well well pls stand corrected am not ordinate fan of sachin but a strong critic. But no one can write an article without mentioning this guy…With all his valour and armory he can do real wonders for team India.

My brother used to question his commitment for the team when he played under Ganguly. I too have few questions for him. What was the urgency to declare himself fit for Windies tour and withdraw in last minute…Wasnt he aware of his fitness state ? I certainly doubt whether it is due to endorsement commitments…

Inspite of all these questions no one can point his finger on Sachin`s batting prowess.

John Wrights “Indian Summers”, he has mentioned he has never coached but advised Sachin when he sought for. What sort of coach is he ??? Is Sachin beyond coaching ??? I doubt…Everyone tends to move away from their original strength and technique, over the course of time and I believe coach is the one who can observe and correct it…Definitely Sachin had a lean phase during those 4.5 years of Wrights stint. Its a shame on him to mention he has never coached but was a mere spectator and I would say he has failed to bringout the best of Sachin.

Chappel to his part he questioned Sachins carreer and later changed his stand. Inspite of his own heights there should be a clear definition of what is expected from whom to make them feel important and committed. I feel each time Sachin has to keep his bar raised by himself and it wont happen always from the individual. There needs to be a small push from someone who has authority. I bet he can do wonders if he is not seen in awe but with a vision.
