Sachin tendulkar takes 2 wickets in third test match. Should he bowl more often?

Yes definitely, I feel tendulkar must be given a chance to bowl every match as he is known for breaking partnership and also he can turn the ball more kumble used to turn it. He has a great potential yet left in him after so many years & now i feel that he should be given more chances when a partnership seems to be flourishing of the opponent team. Also his judgement in his lbw decisions is very confident as the umpires thinks that when he appeals the batsman is definitely out & so they go by his decision.

No, he should not bowl to much, because he is turing 37 this month, at this age he is playing with the bat is a privilege for us. We can not afford to get him injured by doing bowling.

if jayasurya can bowl consistently at the age of 40 ,why cant sachin?sure he got some problem with his elbows but as u have said he is not a quickie though he can bowl those seam up delieveries.i always thought a guy with such variety could have bowled more.during one of the pakistan matches,he bowled around the wicket.he bowled with shane warne's action and surprisingly his balls did turn a long way in that match.pitching 2 feet outside leg and hitting off stumps.lol.hope he will rest for the first few matches of IPL and take rest.we dont want him to waste his precious time on a money making baseball game.

I think because of the injury he is unable to bowl regularly these days. Tendulkar while bowling is known as PARTNERSHIP BREAKER. He might give off runs but at the same time takes wickets too. If not wickets atleast a wicket to break a partnership. It was good to see him bowl during the 3rd test b/w India and NZ... He could have ended taking up 3 wickets, if Ishant had not dropped an catch of Tendulkar. Hopefully Tendulkar will bowl much in the coming series as and when required.

I agree with what you said that Sachin should bowl more often and earlier he did. He has the capability of moving the both the sides. But ever since he had tennis elbow he has not been called to ball and we all know it. The Indian team will not take a chance with Sachin by asking him to ball more often but whenever there is a need to ball he is always there.

Friend, Sachin has been a part time bowler. He is more known for his batting then bowling. If we look at how well the bowlers in the present Indian cricket team are bowling, does we really need Sachin to bowl. He should concentrate more on his batting at this time of his career to reach new hieght and set new records.

I think he should be given chance to bowl more. If he get chances he can pick wickets too.

yes i think , sachin should be given a chance for bolling more or he should retire, becaz vaise bhi he has become too old now days and he can not bat that well so , i think the best way he can only do for the team is ball , lol.

Yeah I agree that Sachin should be bowling quiet often but other than the team who knows how his elbow is?He has been a partnership breaker so many times but you really cant ask him to bowl continuosly for longer spells as his line & length is not upto the mark.He is best when given a chance to bowl for 4-5 overs but not more than that.

I am very big fan of sachin tendulkar.He is a person who can be called as a all rounder because yet times when india wants a wicket he helps a lot in taking the important wickets also.AS all of us know he is an extra ordinary batsman he is also a good bowler and good fielder also.because of his shoulder problem he has not bowled for some period.but he is a crucial player in the indian team and i always enjoy his playing.

even i like to watch sachin bowl his variety of deliveries and i agree with you. he could have been a good allrounder for india but maybe he is such a good batsmen that they do not want to burden him with bowling as well. i think he is doing a lot for the team with his bat alone.

tendulkar does offer a lot of variety, I think he should bowl but not a lot as he is ageing and problems now could end his carrer... and most of us would not like that to happen. I am sure they do an assessment to make sure he is fit to bowl...lets hope he remains fit and bowls a few overs in future matches

Truly I too feel like Sachin should have bowled in every match he plays. He is a good spinner of the ball and can spin in both ways! It is amazing to see him bowl even if he goes for some runs initially, he settles down in good way after few overs. I have seen many matches where he has broken Australian team by taking 5 wickets! Telling my wish, I too care for his health. He is almost reaching end of his career even though he loves cricket more than anything. I love his love for the game and country, but wish him to play more games and for more years ahead. So I wish him to keep his health in tact and sometimes I feel myself that expecting too much of him (both to bowl, bat and hit centuries in every match) is bad. After all, he is too a human being and may feel fatigue.
