Oh No - I don't want to keep my hopes on Tendulkar. Poor fellow - The nation has been pinning hopes on him every time (in crunch situations) and he has always obliged by getting out soon and back to dressing room (and thereby reducing tension for the people who watch).
The last such innings I could recollect was his 136 against Pak at Chepauk. Before or after that, I haven't seen one match winning fourth innings knock by the "Maestro". Gavaskar better stop describing his cover drive in an exaggerated manner - if one is playing cricket for 20 years, cover drive should be that way.
Coming back to the topic - Actually, Dravid & VVS Lakshman have done it on innumerable occasions for India - they have rescued the team from disaster to strong position.
Still, the world believes Sachin can do. That is the problem with cricket obsessed people & media. Why can't they write - "Sachin, Dhoni & VVS stand between Aussies & Victory"?
Let us pray that Sachin doesn't build hopes again and falter mid-way. We would rather take the defeat and proceed to next match.
