Sachin scare causing Pakistan cricket nerve failure!
Sachin Tendulkar now is a scare name for Pakistan. He is a name they worry all the time when India comes to bat. Now they are shivering with the same name when Pakistan comes to bat! What Sachin did to Pakistan batting, is something that will worry all the great cricket teams.
What really happened is Sachin back engineered his bowling from the stand point of a great batsman. And that can be menacing. He tried and found the mistakes a good batsman like him would make!
Media Report said :
Always "fearful" of Sachin Tendulkar's ability to take a match away from them, Pakistan has and continues to centralise its strategy around how not to give him breathing space and to get him out early in his innings.
Former Pakistan cricket captain and now television commentator Rameez Raja expressed this view during an interview to The Nation. "We were fearful of him. The idea at the team meetings, discussed very popularly, was to get him out very early in the innings. Otherwise, if you gave him breathing space, he would tease you very badly. The idea was to put pressure on him early on when he had arrived at the crease, and then to limit and try to frustrate him if he had got settled," Raja said.
"The aim was to basically apply pressure by bowling on the off-stump line, taking a chance once or twice in two-three overs, but not to overdo it because he could smash you if you were trying too many things too soon," he revealed.
"One hoped for the best and always felt the pressure of an India-Pakistan game would get him a little nervous and we would get his scalp. But I believe that's how Pakistan teams have operated, they tried to attack early on and tried to conserve when he had got settled," said the former opener, who played 57 Tests and 198 one-day internationals between 1984 and 1997.
