Manjrekar in 2019: The way Ravindra Jadeja batted in the semi-finals I knew that my time was up (as a commentator) :p
ARoy87 : 😂😂😂
ARoy87 sad that SM was sooo correct. RJ showed his aukaad and India lost a game we should have won. Saala Jaddu nahi, Fattu.
Exactly
To be fair, Sanjay was right. Jadeja was till that stage a "bits and pieces" cricketer. However, Indian fans as we are, we never take criticism well, do we?
Good one
no one praising him so decided to praise himself
It's quint- anti INDIAN channel like BBC Hindi , NDTV
Quint and Sanjay both are failure in people's eyes
This is perhaps the difference between u and ganguly..u declare urself fighter and people consider him......
This negative comment was not called for, everyone is a hero in their life movie.
Is this manjrekar describing himself for a Job interview?
Hahaha comment of the day bro
That shows a bit of my character... 🤣🤣🤣 Khud ki tareef kaun karta hai....
Why did he treat Ganguly so badly on 1991 tour to Australia? Sanjay only lasted that long because of his surname
And then in 1996 he got kicked out of the team and Dada made his debut and scored 131.
@Honest life short life is the best Agree. His double century at Lahore (218) against a rampaging Pakistani attack is one of the best overseas knocks by an Indian batsman that I have seen. He should have been more consistent, given his sound technique against both pace & spin.
@@ArchismanMozumder it was also because of the attitude
What happened in 1991 ? Please elaborate
@@divendughati6114 Have you ever seen his 218 on green Top in Pakistan,Sourav would not have lasted 10 balls on that pitch
He twitted in 2012 that Kohli is not test material & would play Rohit in place of VVS in the series against Australia......How ridiculous he is!!!
Yup, it's not an opinion, it's being rude to someone
When Tendulkar was a boy sensation in 1989-92 , Manjrekar was at his peak. He made a double century against Pakistan and hit a 82 ball 105 against South Africa. He and Tendulkar were considered the "Dravid" and "Ganguly" of that time for around couple of years. Then he went into a shell and never recovered.
It doesn't matter. Ganguly is always best and also Dravid.
Dravid was surely better he was just after tendulkar
@@aratrikghosh2717 Dravid was better in tests.
Ganguly was better in ODIs.
( from their records). ua-cam.com/video/ON2ryvjfAmc/v-deo.html
But, Ganguly was a much better captain and now a much better administrator.
@@theunknownwarrior8853 ganguly was a little better odi player than dravid but dravid was a much much better test player than ganguly and as a total player dravid is surely much better than ganguly and dravid was also pretty good captain under him we won a series in england while under ganguly we have not win any series overseas but just drawn the series and also dravid is now the best coach his coaching is the best he will always be above ganguly
@@aratrikghosh2717 Type Sourav Ganguly in google, go to his wikipedia page and you will find the lines,
"He is one of the most successful Indian Test captains to date, winning 21 out of 49 test matches. Sourav Ganguly is the most successful Indian test captain overseas with 11 wins."
This has been quoted from wikipedia.
Wikipedia calls him,
"India's most successful Test captain overseas, winning 11 out of 28 matches that he led."
Also, India went to the world cup finals under ganguly's captaincy in 2003.(that too in South Africa). Besides, India also won the CT under him.
Dravid ke captaincy me to hum log 2007 me pehle round me he out ho gaye(woh bhi Bangladesh ke saath harke, Ganguly ne us match me bhi 81 kiya tha).
Records suggest that Ganguly was way way ahead of Dravid in ODIs. Dravid was good only in tests. In addition to this, Ganguly ek lauta aisa player hai jo BCCI president bana hay. Is se ham samajh hi sakte hay uska leadership skills baki playero se(especially Dravid se) kitna byahtar hai.
Also in terms of wealth Ganguly is 4th in India after Sachin, Dhoni and Kohli. Dravid has barely got a place in the top 10. (Source : Google).
Thus, after all such analysations we can conclude that Ganguly was way ahead of Dravid.
@@theunknownwarrior8853 see as a captain ganguly might be ahead but as a player dravid was way ahead of ganguly just see the stats and also when you type in wikipedia dravid is a termed as one of the greatest batsmans ever while sourav is not mentioned as one of the greatest and also net worth doesn't decide anything still dravid is richer than ganguly dravids net worth is 40 million dollars while ganguly's is 35 million dollars
Sanjay Manjrekar is a very articulate commentator. He comes across as a very reflective person. His personal life, successes as well as failures makes an interesting story along with his father's life. A littl known fact about Sanjay is that after Russell Arnold, he is probably the most knowledgeable on Sri Lankan Cricket due to his long tenure at Ten Sports/Ten Cricket.
To All , Who are criticizing Sanjay Manjrekar as player or commentator, Please Remember he represented country at highest level ..and just look inside and ask What did you achieve in life ??
Absolutely..!
He was a wonderful cricketer.
Sanjay has always come across as a bit of a pessimist - even though he may have been a fighter. I think he over-analyses and is overly rational. In interviews etc., he has stated that Pakistan was a better team than India in the early 90s, in another place that Sir Richard Hadlee knew 2 years before his retirement that his time was up, and here he talks about Ganguly and Dravid being better than himself in 1996, etc. But sport - and life in general - is not always about being rational, but sometimes about self-belief bordering on the irrational. Otherwise Kolkata 2001 would never have happened. Laxman, Sehwag etc. with weak footwork and pronounced weaknesses against in-dipping deliveries would never have succeeded overseas or against genuine pace, Sachin would have been finished after the 2007 World Cup, etc.. Manjrekar was one of the best technical batsmen India had, but threw away his career perhaps due to this pessimism. I remember how pathetic and scared he looked facing up to Donald in his last Test - the same man who had made centuries against Marshall, Bishop, Ambrose and Patterson, and a double against Imran, Wasim, Waqar and Abdul Qadir on greentops.
Absolutely true.....your comment is very well written....attitude is the reason why a lot a cricketers (true for all people), have a brilliant beginning but do not become superstars....Manjrekar is a perfect example...
You should write articles on crickinfo
Very nicely written. I wanted to say the same thing, but your analysis is way better than anything i could come up with. I saw this guy scoring centuries and play match winning innings in away series. His technique was very compact and had tight defense. He lost his mojo later in his career.
He was compact and had great temperament but his technique suited front foot play only and had zero back foot game but tried using mental strength to cope with bounce and pace wicket. In that area he had zero competence as he relied on his mindset only rather then able to deal with short stuff with strong back foot play. He just lacked technique to deal with short bowling.
@@SN-95 Very rarely i get to see anyone praising Sanjay ! I am happy. From what i know every great cricketer was his fan during his peak. He is one of the best cricketer who did not make it too big. Was not too lucky either !. One of the best commentators of recent times. A bit controversial because he may not be diplomatic. He is too frank
Sanjay Manjrekar criticizes other players as if he was the best batsman of his time...🤣
you are criticizing him as if you were better player than him
@@venchingfu yes corect
Surprise of surprise..how did he get into team in the first place...more than talent the blessings for powers...
You should also thank your father for you to have an extended run in international cricket ahead of more talented batsmen.
Bro. What are you talking about? His father passed away 4 years before his international debut. And his dad was extremely poor. Lower middle class at the most irrespective of having been a former cricketer. Many may not like Sanjay. But he played on his abilities. Not coz of nepotism.
I think quint has actually played a sarcasm card here!
dravid by just sheer hardwork became 2nd most highest run getter at time of his retirement in test and now may be at 4th
Like father like son. both 1 dimensional players who were average at best
Vijay Manjrekar wasn't average
Dude.. Vijay Manjrekar was no where near to average.. check his stats.. at those times, with an average of 40 and scoring centuries outside india was extremely tough.. but yes, sanjay is pretty average..
It was the 1993 Irani Trophy match that Dravid got 90 in. He was playing for Rest of India captained by Sanjay.
For his pace..Dravid can be considered a pinch hitter...
Dravid could play fast as and when required even 200% strike rate, Sanjay always played in a test batsman mode...
You are the only one who remembers your century.No one remembers
your batting.
Your commentary career should've been over too when you saw Rahul and Ganguly in the commentary box.
He is a very good commentator, from the bunch that we have today apart from Gavaskar, Harsha and Sidhu. No one else comes close to them.
"there he goes
there it goes
there you go"
that's all he ever says.
Lol! Hey man. Be nice.
You should listen to him more often..His analysis of the game is good..
He is pretty good commentator
I got his autograph in Calcutta. ..great guy...great singer....I like his commentary..ravi..sanjay..rameez..waqar wasim..sunny...sourav dada....all r good
got his autrograph in delhi test vs srilanka december 2017
When it comes to batting technic, there was no match to Sanjay. Every great player was his fan...
Dravid is the only Indian Cricket who have no haters
Not even one good comment for this man. This shows how much people like him
Now dada throughout him from commentary panels.you priced yourself but every one loves dada.
Ganguly and dravid took his place and VVS ensured that there was no comeback for this ever so negative guy.
It's better when someone else praises you..
Sanjay ,u were my favourite cricketer for sometime...U were the best Indian batsman in the 1989 tour of Pakistan and the 1992 tour of Australia..Loved to watch u bat..
Got lot of starts in ths Aussie tour 1992 but failed to capitalize. Bad luck
the way he was playing he knew his time was up and may be the verbel diarhea started from that time
The Sir Jadeja Effect .......lol
This type of cartoon was India's national cricketer .That's why imran khan laughed at indian team.
the voice in commentary after ravi shastri is of sanjay manjerkar. your voice sound good...
god gave him a good voice but not brain
worldwide Harsha's voice is more respected and loved of all the India commentators. I have heard in Australia they used to call Harsha India's version of Richie Benaud. In India people may have different opinions because Harsha has been disciplined for being to neutral and not favouring India by some. But worldwide audiences enjoy him
The problem with him is he is honest and sometimes very critical. Quite good commentator
With no brain
My all time favourite cricketer Rahul Dravid
I got depressed when I saw this chutiyas pic in the list of World Cup commentators.😠😠
@THE LEGEND same
I Love the way you play more than a commentator
Bro.. below average cricketer. No one would remember you like Pravin amre if not for your commentary role. Have u ever done something in the cricketing life that’s worthwhile? When u came to bat, we knew we had lost the match either you play well or not. 🤣🤣
He Played for Country at the highest level,What have you achieved in life .
Sanjay Manjrekar was an avg batsman. End of story.
I just hope that Sanjay's son plays for India, If he is that talented
He's not pursuing his career as a cricketer.
Manjrekar's commentary is very nuanced, insightful and thoughtful! Most commentators just say the obvious and repeats what is shown on screen.
i hope this is sarcasm
Ghanta. Than you are not aware of the term Commentry. Sanjay majekar is boring like morning shit. Once over, u feel relieved
u havent seen shit in ur life if u think manjrekar is a top shelf commentator. There are shitload more talented and analytical commentators than him who understands, analyzed and give breakdown of the game
a noob
Sanjay manjrekar looks like waqar younis - that is the only cricket connection he will ever have 😂😂
Ganguly my dada is great u r just the average player
I am thinking about....SIR JADEJA😉😉😉😉
This guy was technically perfect but did not have the fitness and temperament. But he was a joy to watch. Underperformed his potential but glad he figured out his way as a commentator.
Oh your father... so that is how you got there
One of the few unbiased commentators out there, you are doing a good job Sanjay just ignore the haters
Actually i don't mind a little bit of bias. It's a part of human nature. What I really love about Sanjay is his honest insights on the game.
honesty is absolutely pure when you are unbiased, so technically both Mihir and mirza are highlighting same but an exceptional characteristic of Sanjay Manjrekar
Ravi Teja I agree
Bloody hell... He played for India... Damn it
Ganguly VS Manjrekar and Shastri
Sourav Ganguly should be coach of Indian cricket team except Ravi Shastri....
My, my, my,.... Me, me, me. Sums up Manjrekar
Hahahaha.... Heights of Self obsession from a peaces of a player.
Who else came here to listen praises of Dravid and Ganguly, but ended up hearing Akash Chopra bragging himself.
Sanjay manjrekar was a weak cricketer.. Sachin carried him thru out his career in 90s.. I don't remember a single innings from manjrekar in the 90s..now like other weak cricketers he suddenly found his courage and now uses that courage to criticise other players while commentary...😀😀
he came much before sachin ...i think you had to see him in the 1989 series against west indies and pakistan ....he was simply awesome ...sachin couldnt carry anyone let alone him ...one of the greatest ...he couldnt carry vinod kambli a fair ability crickter ... he couldnt carry ajit agarkar ...jatin paranjape ...atul bedade ...he gave chances to abey kuruvilla ...but couldnot carry these guys ...you talk of sanjay manjrekar ...whom gavaskar called him his natural successor ...
Azhar spoiled his carrer as he did with 6 other crickters ....as he was the most natural captaincy choice after azhar ...
Sachin given many chances to Vinod Kambli and Agarkar. In 1996 and 1997 Kambli given many chances under Sachin's captaincy. He failed, thus rightly given chance to Dravid and he capitalised it. Agarkar played many matches in 1999 and early 2000 when Sachin was captain but failed miserably. Talking about kuruvilla , he played in 1997 only . Got 25 wickets each in ODIs and test matches which was not bad.
actually kambli failing was a big disappointment ....he was given enough chances ....but as ganguly arrived ...kamblis chances were up ...he could have still kept his place ...if he performed.....as for agarkar ...he was a sissy ....whom.zaheer and to a extent nehra blasted out ...same way as zakir khan was blasted out by wasim and to a extent jaffar ...both agarkar and zakir khan were duds ...nakli as we say in india :) :) :)
Weak? A fourth innings 113 Notout against Pakistan. Reverse Swing! I hope it helps you before making A "Weak" comment.
His father was frustrated becoz he couldn't establish himself as a coach in post retirement period. I bet after seeing Sanjay Manjrekar's career his frustration went on a whole new level.
Vijay Manjarekar died before his son's FC debut. His FC career is one of the finest. Even his first few international outings were success. There after he ended up as one of the many lost boys in Indian Cricket like Lakshman Sivaramakrishnan to Vinod Kambli to Irfan Pathan. And he is one of the finest technically correct batsman ever.
Guys every ones story is diffrent, we can not judge any ones career, he has gone with all ups & downs, with hard life, creating paths from his own courage....whatever hr played was best in his class, u guys shuld see his 218(DOUBLE TON) vs PAKISTAN IN 1989!!!!!
rohan dhamnekar manjrekar ki maa ka bhosda. Uski kya aukat thi Jadeja ko kuch bole. Jadeja uska senior hai....
If self praising is an art den he is the Picasso of it
Anyone who has played for India, cannot be average! Respect him you gully cricketers
Blowing his own triumph.
Such a good test batsman but why he played every format as tests, I recall in my childhood India lost many close odi matches due to his slow innings.
But I still thunk in 2020 thay Sanjay Manjrekar could have continued along side Ganguly and Dravid. He was avery good bat.
I am seeing so many negative comments here. IMO, he couldn't live up to the early promise. Scoring a century against Marshall, Ambrose, Walsh, Bishop, Akram, Younis in their prime is no mean achievement. I can put my neck out and say that none of the current Indian players stand any chance against any of these bowlers. It includes Kohli too. Much of the antagonism towards him is probably due to his political leanings.
To me Sanjay was just a normal batsman. He played as much as he did because of a certain surname. Yes, he is a damn good cricket commentator.
if there was no Mumbai lobby nd the famed surname , he wouldn't have made it to the big stage .
I am not a Sanjay Manjarekar fan...he at times needlessly controversial and a very lacklustre commentator. ...however, as a batsman during his peak he was a technically solid fantastic test batsman and played really well against the feared Pak bowling attack of Imran, Akram and Waker. However, his loss of form was quite rapid and career ended abruptly. Well let's not forget the emargence of Ganguly and Dravid could end anybody's career.
...and when was your time?
Jonty Rhodes shut him up during an IPL game and he is extra courteous to Pollard now for obvious reasons - still he doesn't mend his ways - consider his comment on pujara - that he is not so much a fan of Pujara ....Now after Pujara's Australian tour, he is mute for a change. He is 10 on 10 on variety entertainment, like Harsha is 10 on 10 on highly metaphorical language - no wonder both gel well in the comm box
your time was up since long. Just that India didnt have any other options
ur time should have never came.. u wasted a spot in india's team. That spot should have done wonders if given to a deserving candidate
How come on earth, he is comparing Dravid with Sourav. He is just comparing apple with an orange.
What's ur point??
Ganguly,Sachin,Dravir Trinity
Brilliant batsman, lost his mojo so couldn't become great. Honest commentator who speaks to his heart without seeking financial benefits like other Indian commentators.
Stuart Broad has scored more runs than Sanjay Manjrekar
It depends on how many tests u have played
So because Prasanna and Tiger Pataudi praised his father, he was great. So you didn’t pick on that when you watch him? Waah!
Well his father was past his prime when he started playing and he was too young to judge ...
A great thinker of the game, never shies away from honest feedback. Loving his partnership with Harsha in the ongoing Ind vs SA series.
U never has match winner neither even a inning builder.
Hes a great guy!!!
Thanks for sharing, Sanjay
Why you are praising yourself! You should perform at any platform and people should talk about you. Example Akash Chopra, may be he is not successful in International cricket, but as commentator he has earned the respect.
Sanjay Manjrekar, man with most technically perfect defense.
R u kidding me?
you bet bro ...he was praised like a god after 1989 series gainst pakistan ...
Have to mute the volume during his commentary...not all cr@p needs to be heard :)
He was nice player in test cricket made 200 against Pakistan in karanchi i think against waseem and wakaar but not done justice to potential after it
Why are you so envious of Ganguly?
Ganguly was pretty ordinary too & prospered because of Jagmohan Dalmiya!
n ..... Understood .... You have gifted I.Q....... and it's similar as such people who are called chutia generally, and why it's gifted, cause you r gifted by your forefathers... right?
@@capnagaraj must be an idiot
I didn't knew him
Who is he???
Why am i watching him
ICC should include him in ICC HALL OF FAME...
And lock him up in it ..😂😂
Just kidding ..at some times he's played and commentated well ..
I never played for any team let alone Indian cricket team .. so i have no right to blame him completely .. he played in Indian jersey ,for the country .. so 😀😀
Dada
Thank-you quint for letting us know about sanjay..I really like listening to him...he is one of the rational and intelligent people that we have ... cheers
if god made just one mistake it has to be your commentry
Haters here are proven blind fans if their player but not cricket, Sanjay along with Harsha are most unbiased commenters of India, may doesn't like their honest comments .
But for his poor attitude and superior complex,he would have been a better batsman and could have achieved more. Fantastic batsman to watch.
Sanjay Foulmouthed Manjrekar!
I respect the hardwork you put to go on to play for india. I'll always admire you as an indian player. Put from what i understand about you from commentary, social media comments and public interviews you come across as someone who takes a lot and lot of personal pride over everything. It's a sort of superiority which automatically makes you disrespect and talk low of other people. And it's very evident in controversies you have created over jadeja ... Harsh Bhogle and others. I'm sorry to say you are losing your respect among indians.
He listens to some of the other incisive players-turned-commentators like mike artherton and michael clarke and parrots their observations labeling them as his own - once in a while he does have an original point to make but his gestures and expressions defeat the purpose - one song dedicated to SM - jo bhi mein kehnaa chahu, barbaad kare alfaaz mere
Manjrekar vs jadeja
this guy was below average cricketer, one thing kept him in the squad was mumbaikar.
his comments on players other than his state is disgusting.
Below average...
Can you quit commentary too please?
the dumbest suggestion ever in any field I know
That's his bread and butter now why should he quit? Show some respect man towards fellow beings.. don't get so personal.
can you quit youtube please ....we will be honoured...
Pls tell me one reason to praise u as a player.
Unfortunate thing is so many good players didn't criticize much. U r doing that on any great present players like dhoni sachin and team
He is a good commentator , not like sunny .
