Sachin Tendulkar

I was amazed to see some people still criticize Sachin. I don't understand what they are expecting from a Human Being. And the questions they ask amaze me more
Is sachin a Match winner?
Is sachin Over rated?
Is he blocking the entries of some youngsters? and so on.....
                                    Is sachin a match winner, i read this question in a newspaper two years back, when Sachin was out of form, as they say, still he averages more than 50 in test and one-day format that year. When i was reading this article criticizing Sachin he already played around 385 Limited over games, 100 test matches. nice time to ask a question like this. How can a player who is not a match winner can play this much games. I don't think so. All kind of questions where asked when he walked on to the field when he was sixteen, when his friends where playing in the backyard of their house Sachin walked on to the field to face Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar younis, Abdul Qadar, all world class bowlers. He replied with dancing down the track to Abdul Qadar and hitting him for 4 sixes at the age of 16, is'nt that amazing feat. I think so. 
                 After that Questions was arising every time he fails. But, he himself answer every thing with the bat. It happened more than once. In 1997, 1999, 2005, 2007, every time he fails a match or two , these so called experts came to the media saying he should retire, he should give way to the youngsters..etc
                 when a country was completely deprived of economic, intellectual, natural and sporting wealth. And when half the gold of our country was given to the world bank for loan and when india was considered as a third world nation and when we Indians lacked confidence even to keep our heads high.. when the whole nation was craving for a reason to be proud of.. and when even a fourth position in Olympics (PT usha) was considered as a great achievement and a thing to cherish.. a star arose.. sorry a SUN arose.. a 15 year old kid made the Indians proud...This was taken from another article about Sachin, but i feel that this has to be said again and again. 
                  Is Sachin Over rated?...... yes, Sachin is over rated, he is called GOD, but if you consider him as human, he is definitely under rated. Everything What said and written is less for this little genius. But we Indians consider as god and everyone expects him to score a hundred every time he bats. After 21 years he still manages to score at an average of above 90 in test cricket, is that less!!!!!!. 
                  Before 1st test between New zealand and India in Mottera, Every one talking about Sachins 50 hundreds, When whole New Zealand teams sums up 19 Hundreds. That itself shows how great his achievements are.
