For Mr 'X' From NY/Chicago

Mr 'X' in his comments to my previous post had enquired "more about how slow his(Sachin's) innings of 193 was" & "more about how slow his 194 at multan was". I well tell you more than that.

Tendulkar's 193 in Headingly was scored in 330 balls, 431 minutes, when at the same time Sourav Ganguly scored 128 runs in just 167 balls and 261 minutes.

In Multan, Sachin scored 194 in 348 balls in whopping 493 minutes, where as Sehwag scored 309 runs, in meager 375 balls & 531 minutes. In the same innings, Yuvraj Singh had scored 59 runs in 66 balls.

In Sydney, against Australia, Tendulkar scored 241 in 436 balls & 613 minutes where as Laxman scored 178 in 298 balls & 403 minutes. In second innings, when India needed fast runs, Tendulkar scored 60 runs in 89 balls, when Dravid scored 91 in 114 balls and Sehwag 47 in 50 balls.

I think this information is 'more' than enough to open up your cataracting eyes. I am leaving the arithmatic for you. It just requires a few divisions and substractions now.

However, this might not be enough to give you some sense in comment writing. If you had a different of opinion, then state it with reasoning, like what Khandu did. But that's the part of the upbringing.
