Karthik KrishnanSACHIN GENIUS OR BOGUS?
Sachin Tendulkar is a genius. But a recent survey by Harvard University concludes that it takes 10,000 hours of practice for anyone to become a Genius in their respective field.
Beethoven and Albert Einstein, most definitely. Sachin Tendulkar?.
Sachin Tendulkar, with 20 years of cricket behind him, has 149 Test matches and 435 ODIs. After some maths, Sachin has put in 4237 hours of actual matches. Given 4 hours of Practice before every match day, it gives him another 2336 hours of practice. With a little help from our beloved Calcy, the Master Blaster has practised cricket for - *trumpets* - 6573 hours.
Just read what Shane Warne said on Sachin Tendular:
You have to watch cricket in India to truly appreciate the pressure that Sachin Tendulkar is under every time he bats. They seem to want a wicket to fall even though it is their own side that will suffer. This is cricket as Sachin has known it since the age of 16.
If you believe Warne, you’ve got a Genius for India. If you go by Harvard, he is not a Genius. Go Fish.
sachin is born great, others achieve greatness. those born great need not spend too much time in doing practice:::::::harvard's research was for those who achieve greatness, not for those who are gifted with it...that's it!
ReplyDeletea wonderful maths,,,,but sorry to say his greatness lies in his score n not in his homework hours.
ReplyDeletesorry, but you made an elementary mathematical mistake :|
ReplyDeleteyou forgot to add his 16 years of cricket when he was not on the Indian side and its not just 4 hours before every match, don't you think he practices when there are no matches as well? :)
what about his ranji innings and other non-tournament gully cricket?
i hope you are getting the drift :)
by te way , the same Harvard article also mentioned that early on in our lives we learn more than in later years (which is why we pick up languages faster in our early ages) this is exactly where the 16 years before international cricket and gully cricket comes into play :)
