Debunking the Tendulkar myth

Sachin Tendulkar does not slow down when approaching a 100, nor does India lose when he does well, says the Setpiecegoal blog, backed up by exhaustive statistical evidence.

Siddhartha Vaidyanathan, in his blog, presents a counter - and a counter to the counter - to Mukul Kesevan's article on Tendulkar, 'How not to close a great career'.

I find it amazing how people nit-pick when it comes to SRT’s apparent slow-scoring that affects the team. First, nobody ever cares to see how long he took from 40 to 50 or 70 to 80. They will always zero in on his strike-rate from 90 to 100.
