Sachins brilliant feat

Much is being made by all and sundry about Sachins failed effort against Pakistan in 1999, when, inspite of his amazing innings of 136, it is being blamed on him that he fell short of taking India to Victory against Pakistan. How can people be so insensitive and cruel to Sachins monumental effort of 136 glorious runs , scored with a nagging back injury? How come no one is talking about the completely inefficient tailenders , nincompoops like Javagal Srinath, Venkatesh Prasad etc, who could not even score 12 runa between the 4-5 of them, to carry India to Victory? Cricket is a team game, and one man cant ensure a win however brilliantly he plays. It takes 11 men to either win or lose a game. That day against Pakistan , Sachin was a real hero, he tried his level best to carry the team to victory, but his stupid jerks of team mates, who had no pride in either themselves or sachins great knock or India, let the team down badly by miserably failing to score a pittance of 12 runs required.
