Why Sachin is targetted by Afridi?

Hi Dear Rajeev! Afridi knows that Sachin is known as God of Cricket in the World of Cricket. He knows that he is having almost every record under his belt and he had ups and downs in his life! The way Sachin bounced back from his bad days to present unbelievably superb performance to create so many records, the whole World now accepts him as the genius in the world of Cricket! Sachin is about to create a new Record by hitting his 100th century, if he makes a century in his next match! Afridi knows that Sachin is having the potential of achieving this feat at any given time and he just want to make it sure that this should not happen in this match, so that the history will be written when his name will also be taken along with Sachin when ever the 100 centuries of this great player will be talked in future! But the basic difference would be that Sachin will be remembered for the success while afridi will be remembered for the failure! So to avoid future humiliation Afridi is playing, a so called Mind game, which is nothing more than a freak Roar or a cat cry! The comments which are being made by the Pakistani team members making me to recall my childhood days when we used to challenge the other local Cricket team for no reason , just to put a pressure on them when we used to have a match against them, though we knew that we had no calibre to match those people! So in nut shell the talks which Afridi is making is nothing but a rsponse to fear psychosis which he is venting out! Just see how the little master will respond back to his comments in the media,with his bat! Thanks for the discussion!

Afridi is trying to disturb Sachin's focus. He is commenting like this so that Sachin will lose his concentration and start thinking about his 100th century. Afridi has forgotten that Sachin has never played for records. Sachin plays for his country and for his passion and records far behind for him. When he plays, he plays with his full passion and he made records almost unknowingly in a natural way. Last time also Sachin went out of ground when he was declared not out by the umpire. This shows how great player he is. He always focus on his game and country's benefit. Furthermore, Afridi has forget the past that whenever Pakistan or Australia or any other country have challenged him, he has shown them the path of trouble by hitting great shots and making huge runs in the very next game to reply back those challenges. Yes, you have well said that he always replies back with his bat and he will do so in this game also. Afridi, he is commenting that they will not allow Sachin to make his 100th century is also not very bad as anyone will say that. When news reporter will ask, "Will Sachin make his 100th century in this game?" or "Will you allow Sachin to make his 100th century?" then anyone will say No. He is not wrong in that sense as they have to plan something in order to check India. They know that if Sachin will make a century here, India will make a huge score on the scoreboard and that will be bad for Pak. So, this is not very wrong, anyone will say that.

I think most teams still think that if they can get Sachin, they can get at the Indian team. The fact though is that this Indian team loves mind games. There are characters in this team like Zaheer, Bhajji and Gambhir who move up a level when there are mind games. To add to this Sachin is the last person you would want to target. The only way he knows to respond is by wielding his bat as a weapon of mass destruction. Cheers! Ram

Hi rajeev, Pakistan has seen in last several world cup matches that they can not win against India on the field so they are trying some off field tactics to see if they can succeed. These tactics are of no use because Indian Captain and the players are quiet matured to react to such verbal volleys. Sachin in particular has always preferred his bat to talk rather than his mouth in replying to such criticism. Any way all these verbal comments will only increase spectator's interest in the match.

Sachin is one of the greatest batsman when comes in form nobody is there to stop him. Afridi will be kicked out of team soon as India will win this match .
