Hi.
I totally agree to what you have said. Sachin's innings was but not the best one seeing the way Robin batted. In those type of crunch situations it is really hard to keep cool and walk through. Yes Sachin did scored more than Robin, but he also have the run out of Wright who was playing tremendous cricket at that time. I just have a feeling that had he went on at that point of time England would have reached 325 or even 330.

I think the decision was right. Sachin scored 94 runs in just 81 balls which is remarkable. If Sachin didnt had given a good start to the game then it would have been very difficult for Indians to win. Yes Robin did a marvellous job but sachin played an important role too. So in my opinion it was a right decision.

i think the decision was correct. May be Robin has played in the last overs like this, but can anyone deny that sachin hasset the platform for this win?
He scored tremendously , 94 of 81 balls.
I think its contribution is amazing and he deserves it.

I think that Robin Uthappa played a great cameo at the end and kept his cool to take India to victory. He deserves rich accolades for the same, but still feel that Sachin was the man-of-the-match.
The reason is after the last over fiasco during England innings, the dressing room must be very grim and dull. But, to come out and give the kind of start that Sachin and Saurav gave must have lifted the whole dressing room and given belief that they can win. From there on the youth and cool of Uthappa took over.
Cheers!
