This week it's the little maestro, Mr Sachin K Tendulkar.
Not sure how many stars he would have earned?
Watched all his live games to our local bullring,whenever he visited our shores. Thanks for the memories, frustrations and above all, enjoyment.
Go in peace
Not sure what happened to the spelling?....not plse correct
He is my fav and my idol. And he is from my country. U will be surprised to see but we worship him here like Argentina worships Maradonna. See my avatar.......Last match has started but right now we r bowling. So we will see him bat tomorrow. And it is Sachin R. Tendulkar..... :)Quote:

What makes him even gr8er is the facts that he has not been involved in any controversy or any umsportsman like behaviour, and he is still humble and down to earth after a 22 year carrier and almost all cricketing records in his name. That is Legend and his batting is a different league altogether.
K as in Ramesh, as in LE....D...GEND?? It was early in the morning.
Agreed, he played like a sportsman and left the controversy off the pitch. The true measurement of a sportsperson.

Profile
Sachin Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time, the most prolific runmaker of all time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known. His batting is based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that intangible quality given only to geniuses - anticipation. If he doesn't have a signature stroke - the upright, back-foot punch comes close - it is because he is equally proficient at each of the full range of orthodox shots (and plenty of improvised ones as well) and can pull them out at will.
Most no. Of individual 100s and 50s open both Tests and ODIs
Highest run scorer in both Tests and ODIs
Most4s and 6s in total
First player to score 200 in ODIs
Highest run scorer in a single calendar year.
Most Man of Matches
Most player of Tournaments
Most Golden Bats at World Cups
Highest scorer in a single WC edition.
These r a few..... If I give the whole list , the match will get over.
After hanging up his gloves is he going into politics???
Minister of Sport in India.. certainly not in BCCI??
Would be good to hear Tendulkar as a commentator for a little while, just so that we can listern to some of his views, insights over a longer and on a different conversation platform.
I would love to have Tendulkar, Ponting, Pollock, Akram, Ambrose, Hossen, Lara all sitting together and having a televised chat show/debate/roasting.
how is Dravid doing in ICC...I think???
Did Ranatunga ( the Lankan) not enter politics as well when he retired??
Sachin is the Member of the Upper House of Parliament here and says he will devote himself to improving the status of sports in India, especially our nationalnsport Hockey. Cricket is already popular here thanks to his 22 years of entertainment. He might as well be a part time commentator but nothing is confirmed. Will like to here him. Yeah, Sachin, Ponting, Lara and Co. Is a gr8 idea. I will include Adam Gilchrist to in that list.Quote:

And I don't think a person of Sachin's class will ever go to BCCI....... That is below his standard.
And Sachin feels that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have gr8 carriers ahead and can beat his records.
Recently Rohit scored 209 in ODI and became the 3rd batsmen to do it and people on Twitter r like, "Sachin said that Rohit or Virat can beat his record..... GOD'S WORDS CAN NEVER BE FALSE":)
There will always be many waiting in the wings to step in and try to take over.. Time and patience will tell.
The "sad" thing about cricket is people (spectators) cannot afford 5 days to focus on the game. Times have changed, so much more to do and so little time, etc. Test cricket, which may still be the measure of a great player, may also fall away one day.
No disrespect , but the only thing I know about Indian hockey is the sticks used so often in the movies:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: by the baddies
End of day, Sachin 38 not out. Will continue tomorrow but unfortunately I won't he able to see the first 2 sessions due to school.
Well, he looked awesome and focused and a few off his shots showed that Class is Permanent. A last century coming up? Only time will tell. Hope he gives his best and all over, enjoys his last match. :)
School should come to a halt when Sachin is at the crease.:mad:
We shud have been given a national holiday, cudn't bunk school due to some irritating reasons.Quote:

Still a departure in style, that is a good score. All those who criticized him, well, he let's the bat do the talking.
I feel like crying now. No more cricket for me...........
Never was about Sachin making a century. This was for his final wave and to say thank you. Nothin more, thing less.
Exactly. History was already written, a 0 or a 100 didn't matter. I just wanted to see him longer, as much as I know he wud have liked to play longer. A 100 wud have shut some critics foul mouth forever...... But I don't care what others say, to me and millions of others, he will remain the God of Cricket.Quote:

What critics???
If you consider the support players he had around him...... Never mind, I'm glad I saw him in the flesh at the Wanderers.
Who is the Indian coach currently?
What does Azzar, Muscles, Vengkat, Kumble, Sreesanth do these days, if you know? They served India well a few years ago
Not Sreesanth... The other Sree..fast bowler???
Three are some jobless brainless moron who know nothing other that criticizing someone way better than them. But, not many heee pay heed to them.
Duncan Fletcher is our current coach. He has been good so far but want to see if he can manage it against South African South Africa in the series coming up.
Azharuddin does commentary, Kumble is our spin bowling coach and trainer i think. Sreeshant, the good and fair sportsman, lols, is i guess enjoyingbhis life. He does come on to some debates about some match on some sports or news channel but otherwise he is not much in any limelight. What a bowler he was though..... Amzing pacer.
The recent Sreeshant is a shame for our country and the game and won't like to speak about such cheap disgraces on a thread about Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.
Well, the game is almost over and Sachin won't get another innings. So its all over. Farewell.... :). :(
Disgrace.....
The only disgrace is you guys coming over for TWO freekin... Tests....now thats a disgrace. If you recall we would have back to back full test schedules if after Jonty retired.
It is actually sad and a fact that test match has lost its importants as all the gr8s of this format r retired, the laser one being Sachin too is gone now. Also, the art of patient cricket is gone now, the young gen batsmen don't have that ability to save a test match, drag it to a draw by playing long slow innings like what VVS Lax man, Dravid and Sachin used to do for us and Gilchrist, Pointing, Steve Waugh for Aus, Smith, Kallis and Co. For SA, Collingwood, Headly, Richards used to do for England. There r only a few like Ian Bell who is still quite capable of doing that. Most test matches now end in some team winning, many times a team wins by an innings, which used to happen once in. Blue moon be4... Be4 almost all matches, no matter how strong or weak a team was in front of the other, used to end in draws, batsmen were able to save the match and drag it from the mouths of defeats to a draw and sometimes, a heroic victory.Quote:

No.no.no.no.
There is nothing wrong with the new format of the game. That is change. It happens.
Your captain, Klusner, Afridi, Jayasuria, all showed us the beauty of limited over cricket...okay not really your captain.., but there is a change in the game. Some accept it, some don't. Others grow into it.
Dude, wait till you turn 50 and have to watch cricket without spectators or stadiums.
Talking of long slow cricket...
I sat and watched Atherton and the painter wicket keeper ..jack Russel bat the entire f day to save the test at the Wanderers. Brilliant

Hey welcome back...
Even The Master would not have saved you guys in the current ODI series over here :D.
Ya the ODIs are all over. Shameful defeat. But, who knows, Sachin can make anything possible. After all, he is the 'Superman from India'Quote:
