Can sachin do what arvinda d silva did in 96 world cup

I think he can do it at the present form.He has got good cricketing knowledge so it is not a problem until he performs.

ofcourse i hope so.......sachin can manage this position according to his play..and ofcourse he is doing that against westindies and srilanka.........he performed well in both series.....and hope he will do the same in worldcup..as he did always in worldcup...having highest century in worldcup..now with ponting ...having the same no of centuries in worldcup as sachin is having...

I dont think so, arvinda was on top of his form perhaps career best at that time, sachin now has random form, performs good in 1/2 matches, then goes to normal lack of performance mode

In 1996, Sri Lanka was in ominous form. It was alsmot impossible to defeat them even for the best of teams. And the credit for that goes not only to Aravinda but also to Jayasuriya and Kaluwitharna. About Sachin, he has the ability to make impossible things possible. He is an outstanding batsman, the best in the world and he gets better when he plays in World Cup matches. He has played 33 matches and scored 1732 runs at a whopping average of 60 in the World Cups. In 1996, he became the first batsman to score 500+ in a single tournament. He scored 523 runs at 87.16. That was even better than Aravinda's performance. Unfortunately for India, he didn't get support from his teammates whereas Aravinda got all the support he wanted. In 2003, Sachin broke his record and scored a massive 673 runs at 61.18. I still remember in the 1996 WC semi finals when India were chasing 240 odd set by the Lankans. Sachin was the only batsman for India who scored a half century. I think he scored 64 before getting stumped. He made Murali look mortal. All other batsmen were falling like a deck of cards at the other end and India were reduced to 120/8. Had batsmen like Jadeja, Azhar, etc. supported him, India might have won the World Cup.

Surely Sachin can do better than what Aravinda de Silva has done for srilanka in the world cup 1996.He is in great form and he is bowling well and west indian conditions should suit him very well.I think this time he will break all the previous records in the world cup against his name.

i'll second on dis surely he can do an arvinda or i say bttr than arvinda tooo...he is the best in the business but i go ahead and say sachin can bttr arvinda too coz itz his last world cup nd last thng to achive in his lucrative carrer...
