Talk:Sachin Tendulkar/Archive 2

Missing citation
Citation to this part "When he was young, Tendulkar would practice for hours on end in the nets. If he became exhausted, Achrekar would put a one-Rupee-coin on the top of the stumps, and the bowler who dismissed Tendulkar would get the coin. If Tendulkar passed the whole session without getting dismissed, the coach would give him the coin. Tendulkar now considers the 13 coins he won then as some of his most prized possessions."

First to make 200
Abhishek sanadhya THE REVELATION

"Sachin Tendulkar underlined his reputation as the greatest player in the history of cricket by becoming the first man ever to hit a double century in ODIs, against South Africa in the second One-Day International, in Gwalior, on Wednesday 25th Feb 2010.

It was Tendulkar at his vintage best as he blazed his way to 200 from a mere 147 deliveries, inclusive of 25 boundaries, the most in a single innings and three sixes.
 * It is in the article. SGGH ping! 18:41, 24 February 2010 (UTC).

Abhishek sanadhya THE INCARNATION:

Its very difficult to Rate Little MasterSACHIN under or mere 100% with limitation, he sould be rated Greater than 100. No measurement for this Legend. I have never seen The Great Legend Donald Bradman playing, but while watching Sachin's game I would say SACHIN is the next Incarnation of GOD OF CRICKET after Donald Bradman. He is the REVELATION. No words in the Dictionary of any languages would match his fabulous performance. Even the people who do not know Cricket would praise this Greatest Legend. Hail to SACHIN. Im proud to be an INDIAN with this Great LEGEND era.SACHIN'S JOURNEY NEVER ENDS...." Britto.S' ---

Cleanup Required
The opener in the article is very focused on his (numerous) achievements. It is so centred on them that it fails to mention which club he currently plays for, where he is in his career, anything about his personal life or any other part of the article. Secondly, could someone cleanup this talk page. There is a lot of forum-like chat and most of the comments can be archived. Thanks 163.1.167.64 (talk) 02:00, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Can anyone clean up and align this page.. being a new member am unable to do it.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajesh TV (talk • contribs) 13:40, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

The of ODI ?
As in layman's use, ODI cricket refers to the men's game only. When Sachin broke the 200 run barrier, even many cricket connoisseurs hailed him as the first person ever to do so, not as the first male (Belinda Clarke passed 200 in Women's one day criket in 1997). Isn't Women's one day criket considered as "ODI Cricket"? or did the pundits just neglect the women's game? or is "ODI criket" defined as "Men's ODI criket"? I note that when statistics are shown on TV or on Cricinfo, Women's records donot find a place. As for this page we need a consensus. Define ODI Cricket (One day International Cricket) ? . Arjun  024  11:00, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Totally agree. Seeing the continuous addition and deletion of 'men's ODI' and Belinda Clark, I too wanted to bring this up for discussion to arrive at a consensus.
 * 1.Its true that everywhere when one refers to 'ODI' it implicitly means men's ODI whereas the term "women's ODI" is explicitly mentioned to refer to the female version of the game.see this and this  on cricinfo.com.
 * 2.Even in other 'gender-separated' sports this convention is followed. See for ex. football and women's football, baseball and women's baseball, bodybuilding and female bodybuilding etc.
 * 3.In almost all sports the absolute record is held by men. Except for this one I dont know any in which it is the other way around. But the records and statistics of the male and female versions of the game are not usually mixed/compared. For ex. take Belinda Clark's article itself. It mentions 'Most runs by an Australian in the World Cup (1,151)'. But then the most runs by an Australian in the world cup is actually by Ricky Ponting (1,537). . So do we include the records of male players when mentioning the record of a female player ?. Clearly we dont do that. Men's cricket and Women's cricket are separate games.
 * 4. That they are seperate games is also confirmed by this ICC classification of official cricket here. . Whereas men's ODI is played according to standard ODI playing conditions, women's ODI is played according to standard women's ODI playing conditions.
 * So to sum up, Sachin in indeed the first person to hit a double century in ODI. and Belinda is the first person to hit a double century in women's ODI. and I think we should not compare them. However to lead the reader to Belinda's wikipage we should include a link in the 'see also' or 'footnote' sections.-Mgtm7m (talk) 16:18, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * They are separate games, but that really means that the distinguisher is needed. ODIs encompass both versions of the game, therefore it's necessary to state which specific version the record applies to. It's not the case with almost all records because the men's version records generally are higher than the women's, but in this case it isn't. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  17:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well i totally agree with Mgtm7m. "ODI Record books" only show that of men's; and women's record are separately titled as "women's ODI records", for the obvious reason that they are different games that cannot be compared in a single statistical table . This shows it's become an assumed and approved standard to take ODIs as Men's ODI; and give credit to Sachin as the first person to hit a double century in ODIs.   Arjun  024  18:51, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I disagree. In most sports, it is assumed that the woman is slower, throws a discus a shorter distance etc even when the object is lighter, and there has never been a woman who went faster/further/higher than the men's champion in athletics, swimming etc. But in the news, people always say "Australia's women played an ODI" not "Australia played a WODI" so there may be confusion. Men's records are higher, which is not surprising as the women's matches were played on the same grounds and it's not as easy to hit lots of boundaries, and they also play less matches so they can accumulate less, so the clarification doesn't hurt at all  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  05:47, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Mumbai vs bombay
I don't understand why sachin's birthplace is mentioned as bombay on wikipedia. It hurts local sentiments bigtime. Sachin tendulkar is considered as a great representative of marathi people as well as sports ambassador of India. He always calls himself to be a proud indian and mumbaikar. City's indian name has been Mumbai from its inception and it's been many years that the international english name of the city being changed to mumbai from bombay. There have been many clashes in the recent past against the british time inferiority complex representative english names like bombay, victoria terminus,bangalore etc. All are changed to local languages but unfortunately wikipedia is still showing wrong information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amolkots (talk • contribs) 19:18, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree to Amol, that we should change it to Mumbai, same as Saurav Ganguly's article shows Kolkata not Calcutta. We should always adhere to what is now, than what was.  KuwarOnline  Talk''' 09:22, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I would make the point that a persons place of birth is a matter of historical record and if that country or city later changes its name that does not alter where they were born and the place should normally recorded as it was at their birth with a note as to what the place is now called. However the name of the city in question here has not changed, merely the accepted anglicisation of the name, so it is correct to use Mumbai as far as I am concerned. --LiamE (talk) 05:22, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I think player's sports achievements are more important than birthplace. As far as birthplace issue is concerned, I think newer names should be preferred. Just imagine when people use wikipedia after 100 years, they will get totally confused to see very old names of places. Information must be updated regularly. Afterall, wikipedia is not only for gathering information but it is also for learning from it and using it for benefit of all. Awkward references to old names would start accumulating problems gradually. Also, as correctly stated by kunwar, consistancy is not maintained in using old names for all people. This is true as it is very difficult to maintain status quo. The best option is keeping all the documents updated. Being a new user, I am not entitled to make amendments in this document. Moderators should discuss and do the needful. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chamatkar (talk • contribs) 15:24, 22 September 2010 (UTC)


 * In this case it is the international English version of the name that has changed, not the name of the city itself. Therefore the name should be consistent and say Mumbai. Carl Sixsmith (talk) 15:28, 22 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Er, no. It's not the international version that's changed, the city was officially "Bombay", so the official name changed. Like in every other case on Wikipedia, it is logicl that we follow standard practice and use the name that was in effect at that point in time and not an anachronistic name. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  19:57, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. "Mumbai" as a term only became the name for the city in recent times, and when Tendulkar was born, the city was called Bombay, officially, universally. It is not "wrong information", simply information that was correct at the time of Tendulkar's birth. It should stay as Bombay. We even have the modern term in the article. Ganguly's article has "Calcutta" not Kolkata, which would have been correct officially around the time of his birth as well. The Madras (talk) 11:28, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

"He is the only player to score a double century in the history of ODI cricket.[12][13"

Tendulkar is the only male player to score a double century in the history of ODI cricket. Belinda Clark, a female Australian cricketer was the first person to score a ODI double century, 229 not out in 1997. An external source is cricinfo (www.cricinfo.com).

The article has a lot about a car Tendulkar got in 2002. Is this really worth mentioning, especially in this much detail? Nev1 (talk) 20:47, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

If there is a controversy section, this issue should get a prominent part in it (atleast half). This was huge at that time and he hasn't been involved in any other non-cricket controversies. The issue got raised in the Indian parliament and there were even attempts to change the law to accomodate his request. --Sodabottle (talk) 20:53, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough. I'm not sure there should be a separate section just for controversies though; incidents can be woven into the main narrative of the article. That way they are presented in context and aren't given undue weight. Nev1 (talk) 20:57, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I agree that it was pretty huge news, but is it in the context of Tendulkar or in the context of the Government of India?

The innings of 241 brought in the concept of self control, where he decided not to play anything on the off side. Most of the commentators and the critics did mention that he is vulnerable on the off side. Sachin ensured that he will leave the ball alone, on every ball off side.

Comment on recent GA nomination
While it is not strictly a criteria that the person who nominates an article be one of the main contributors, that has not made a single edit to the article or cosulted other editors is a bad idea. Having contributed to the article, I have concerns about the sourcing and don't believe the problems can be quickly addressed. There is a clear issue of balance, not necessarily POV but in putting things in proportion. The article has 1,000 words on Tendulkar's international career between 1989 and 1999, in which time he played 73 Tests and over 200 ODIs. In contrast there are nearly 1,600 words on the year 2007 to 2010, covering 42 Tests and 68 ODIs. Something is clearly not right. The Champions League T20, in the grand scheme of things a domestic competition which does not have the same significance as an international series, has its own stubby section. The planning behind the article is non-existant, and it shows in its haphazarrd structure. The international and the domestic are treated separately as if they never interacted, which goes against common sense as when international cricketers lose form they return to their clubs to refind it. There are also entire paragraphs which are unsourced. These are not minor issues and are obvious without wasting a reviewer's time. I suggest that nomination be withdrawn.

Sachin Tendulkar Nickname Master Blaster
Sachin is widely known as Master Blaster. I doubt why it is not added under his Nicknames in Infobox. I've seen this in and article in wikipedia. Please verify this and add it if its right.Forgive me if its wrong. Abdul raja (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:12, 9 November 2011 (UTC).


 * The infobox currently has three nicknames: "Little Master", "Tendlya", and "The God of Cricket". The first two are sourced to Tendulkar's Cricinfo profile, and the latter (slightly less reliably IMO) to bollywood.com. It is important to include sources when adding material to articles so that the information can be checked. "Master Blaster" seems a bit too close to "Little Master" for me to think they're both worth including. To be honest, I'm tempted to follow Cricinfo's path and just go for two, getting rid of "The God of Cricket". They will have had the same issue and have decided not to list every single one. I can't say why, but faced with the matter here I just don't think a long list of nicknames is helpful, and lots of them appear pretty similar. This from a few months ago was ludicrous. Nev1 (talk) 15:29, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Nev1 for your view. I thought of adding Master Blaster since its more famous name than Little Master.As you said reference is very important to us and Nickname is not the only important thing in the Article. I'll try to find a reliable reference for this issue. Abdul raja (talk) 16:47, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
