Well..
BTW, Sometime back I read a survey in India Today on "Role Models" for Indian citizen. Overall, Sachin wasn't at the top. But I think he was one among the first 10. But what was more surprising to me was: When they covered it for Chennai, he ranked No.1 with 40 votes. Chennai is sachin's lucky place ! He had said this many times.
If GOD is retiring someday , then I would be happy to see him playing his last innings in Chennai rather than Mumbai where fans disgraced him ! |

While you can defend the underdog, sitting duck ganguly with Sachin then why can't we do it ! Sachin is lotlot better than Dravid. Comparing Dravid withsachin is a sin and better keep your sin i nother threads and not here !
The way you ran to cover your egg-stuffed face when your english team was made to run away by SL and then you escaped from there when Raghu asked about you !
Did u had guts then to speak about us now ? enough ! stick to the thread and continue your blabbering / illogical statements in some other thread

One thing always rings in my mind is his scintilating 153* against Australia in the fourth innings, he was in with the last batsman. He was sledged by Mcgrath and SWaugh throughout the match. One must have the composure to handle those situations. Nobody else other than Lara can do that. IMO Lara is the best batsman. You're entitled to your opinion and I don't mind if you would disagree. |

Having had the privelege of watching that match from both the "right" ends [D-stand and Terrace],i can categorically claim that one of the happiest days in my life was spent in seeing Sachin score a century in this match against the most adverse conditions, which also proved beyond any doubt that the Chennai crowd was the best in the country even before they gave a standing ovation to the Pakistan team after their victory. [One of the reasons was in the way they 'checked' themselves not to usuppu ethify Sachin too much on the penultimate day. This can happen only in chennai in India. Another was in the rousing reception they gave to Afridi on him reaching his century] Emotions apart i rate this one of Singam's best test innings. Venkatesh Prasad, of all the poeple brought us back into this match by claiming 6 wickets in the 2nd innings i think. Those who understand test cricket will understand the maginitude of the situation when Sachin was bat(tl)ing. What many people dont seem to realize is that Singam was fighting excruciating back pain. And what many dont know is the 'dressing down' Sachin gave Azzu bhai before the press ceremony. Its a legend in the relevant circles. I suspect Mongia's mindless assault was Sachin's breaking point.

It was 155* actually, if you are reffering to the 1998 Chennai innings. I was lucky enough to watch that match also [same D-stand and terrace]. Talking about FORCING THE PACE AND TURNING THE MATCH ON ITS HEAD, this was it. When the 2nd wicket fell, The Great "Wall" Dravid was struggling to handle Warne because the pitch had turned wicked by then [for the spinners]. Even Sachin struggled initially. That Sidhu had carted him around was immaterial at this point. I distinctly remember Ian Chappel commenting in the commentory box [later when i watched highlights of course] that "this has to be the most important phase of the match. It depends on how Sachin handles Warne". Two fours bisecting mid-wicket and mid-on started the proceedings for Sachin. The important thing was that Sachin scored his century quick enough to give our bowlers a chance for victory, something which i suspect Dravid has never done*. *- The same Dravid would declare when Sachin was on 194 in Pakistan even though the run rate was a healthy 4 runs an over, a fact that Sachin reiterated in the press conference. But our media and the great well informed public made a hero out of Dravid and a villain out of Sachin for the same decision. |

There are several matches Senthil !
The reason why we quote that Sharjah match again and again is coz that stands as a perfect example for his qualities as a batsman and a great team player ! Not only that match ! If you could remember, he ruled in the final as well. Both the Last League match and the final had Sachin's stamp clearly written over there. After the series, Steve commented like this: "We didn't lose to India. We lost to Sachin"
and he also portrayed quite a bit of perseverance and patience in the 170+ run that he scored against NZL. Sachin always plays with enormous aggression. That is his style. But it is not aggression alone. It is a mix of some top quality shots coupled with Pace. One more thing I love in him is the way he handled quality bowlers like Wasim, Waqar, Warne etc. (Agreed that he has not yet dominated MCG). These people will never forget Sachin: 1) Henry Olanga 2) Shoaib Akthar (Forgot quite a few) etc Whenever I remember those matches now, it just remindes me VV dialogue: "sinna pasangala ...tha yaar kitta vilayaarudreenga"
(Read this how it would be if sachin says the same to the respective people like Olanga) |

you think ODIs as important as test matches.. WC is the biggest event in cricket for us only.. ask some australians or english or south africans.. Lara doesn't have to show his class in ODI world cup.. ppl are ignorant of Lara's class at test levels.. if for u ODI WC are important.. then for me test matches are more important where the true class of a batsman is tested and that's where Lara speaks.. does any batsman of this era have stamina to play a lara-like innings? |

Also lara's high average is mainly due to his big hundreds (doubles, triples, what not). If he scores a triple he can afford single digit scores in 6 innings to keep his average from going down.

Neenga ellam seriyave matchu paka mateengala sir . I think U guys just see Cricinfo.com or random search through Google
1. The previous test matches were all won by England WHITE WASH 2. This was the final match & WI had their old pride at stake . NEVER THERE WAS A WHITE WASH BY ENGLAND 3. Lara first played for saving the game 4. As his innings PROSPERED, he took it up to 350 to consolidate. 5. to make that 400, Lara had to negotiate 582 deliveries: 267 dot balls, 139 singles, 24 twos, four threes, 43 boundaries, one five and four sixes 6. The bowling was not that strong enough to take 20 wickets 7. ANYONE WHO KNOWS 1 % ON CRICKET WILL REALIZE HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO SCORE RUNS AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL |

This is exactly what I want to point out ! If you take, sachin fans never degrade Lara to a greater extent. Atleast myself. I respect both the players equally. But my core love towards sachin remain the same. SAme is the case with sachin followers like me, Nerd, A_A and others. But time and again, most of the time Lara is being brought into the thread for stupid comparisons and to bash Sachin. I don't get the point.

| Memorable Moments in ONE DAY INNINGS - I
1] 27th March 1994, India vs New Zealand, Eden Park Auckland: It was the first time Sachin opened the innings in ODI’s. Opener Navjot Singh Sidhu got injured and although India were chasing a small victory target of 146 no batsman was willing to open on a seaming Eden Park wicket. But Sachin took the responsibility of opening the innings. And what a happy accident it turned out to be as he smashed 82 off 43 balls. Describing this knock Sachin said “Such innings’s are possible only once in a life time. It was like a dream.” |

Finals of the Coca Cola Trophy, Sharjah: The crowds at the Sharjah, had come with banners wishing Sachin a happy 25th birthday along with their intense desire to see him play another one of those blinders and take India to victory. Sachin didn’t disappoint them. Australia had put up a huge target of 273 and that meant India had quite a chase on their hands. Before the Indian innings began noted Australian commentator Greg Chappell made a telling comment. He said, “Sachin will be feeling just a little bit drained from his previous effort and the weight of the entire Indian population will be on his young shoulders.” He was right but Sachin went about his task with clinical precision and made 134. He unleashed some of his breathtaking strokes and power only after he had ensured that India were well on the road to victory. After depositing Aussie paceman Michael Kasprowicz on to the roof of the Sharjah stadium, noted TV commentator Tony Greig said, “This little man is the nearest thing to Bradman there’s ever been.” Sachin ended up sweeping almost all the awards after India emerged victorious. He also won an Opel Astra for his efforts at Sharjah an award which he dedicated to his wife, on his 25th birthday. |

IMO, The only batsman who excelled in this series was MH DHONI. Next will be Sachin who carried the pressure when everyone was failing ! The way he got out in the 20-20 match deserves a
But every dog has its day and for LION the day will come for sure
BTW, Why should I stop praising him as GOD ? A few failures can never change that
What I expect him is > TOP CLASS PERFORMANCE IN THE UPCOMING WC
After that, even if he wishes to continue, as a fan of him, I will regret his decision
Even in the previous WC, we had the same thing. But as I said sometime back, he bounced back in style in that WC ! Expecting better things from him in this WC

idhuvaraikkum first over la Sachin adicha 4 ellam waste, especially when chasing big totals?? Please drill into your head that when you are chasing a total as big as that, there is no time to 'settle' down... There's a basic principle called 'percentage' shots in cricket. That is, you should play a shot only if the %age probabilty of getting out to that shot is less. This %age rule tends (rightly) get ignored as the target goes higher. You can't apply this if you are chasing 413. |

| When Tendulkar cried
ANTIGUA, March 26: Team India is set to return home but most players have yet to recover from the sight of Sachin Tendulkar openly shedding tears after the loss to Sri Lanka on Friday. Tendulkar had tears streaming down his cheeks after Munaf Patel was caught on the squareleg fence by Chaminda Vaas. It brought to end India's disastrous chase of Sri Lanka's reasonable target and more or less shut them out of the 2007 World Cup. Tendulkar, who had contributed nothing to India's chase earlier in the day, being clean bowled by Dilhara Fernando, first tried to control his emotions but unable to do so, locked himself in the bathroom lest he made a spectacle of self in the public. A couple of junior cricketers in the side were so taken aback by the sight that they themselves started to cry. It's little secret that Tendulkar desperately wanted to do well in this World Cup and be a part of the winning team. The "little master" in his glorious career more or less achieved everything he set out to do, but his World Cup dream is unlikely to be realized now. Young fast bowler S Sreesanth's emotions got better of him as he too broke into tears. He was consoled by close friend Robin Utthapa, who on his part was so nervous and upset that he kept drinking cups of coffee. Sreesanth just couldn't stop crying and kept saying: "Why God did this to us?" While Tendulkar and Sreesanth gave vent to their emotions, fast bowler Zaheer Khan broke a chair in the dressing room. After making a spectacular comeback to the Indian team, Zaheer's colleagues said that he was desperate to make amends from the last World Cup final where he let his adrenalin get better of him. Rahul Dravid, by all accounts, was himself tearful while Sourav Ganguly, behind his glasses, sat stunned on his seat. Coach Greg Chappell had given up on the team during the match. As soon as Mahendra Singh Dhoni was out, going back and finding himself plumb in front to Muthiah Muralitharan, he got up and switched off the television. |

This argument is illogical, to say the least 1) Nobody denies that Sachin is a pale shadow of his erstwhile majestic self. He is struggling, he has failed at crucial matches. Can we move on from that point? |

2) How the hell do you select or drop a player from a team? You compare. If A has scored more than B, you don't drop A unless you drop B also. You don't just drop A because he doesnt live upto your expectation [of course other factors are also taken into account - outside the scope of this argument]. You GOT to point fingers at others when it comes to selection. That's exactly the meaning of selection. |

Kamalkumar, These are the concluding lines of that Cricinfo article. If it is so, what are the other batsmen are doing?. They are also subject to criticism. Why target Sachin alone?. Indians faltering in the fourth innings is mainly due to poor starts. Not just because of Sachin getting out in single digits. When India wins they say it's a team game and the whole team perfromed better. If India loses, only Sachin is blamed. We've had enough of this accusations of being selfish and playing for records. As if he deposits the runs in Swiss bank, those runs are counted in team total. Aren't they? |

He said he was caught unawares by the timing of the declaration. "I wasn't sure about the declaration. I did not think it would come so soon." "At tea time, we decided to play positively. If a side is scoring at four runs an over in Test cricket, I think it is positive batting," he said adding that there was nothing he could do once the declaration was made. "Whatever has happened has happened." Tendulkar lavished praise on Virender Sehwag calling him an exciting player and a treat to watch. "Everyone enjoys his batting." He was also happy that an Indian batsman had finally got past the 300-run mark in Test cricket. "It was badly needed and Veeru did it for India. This feat was missing in India. It's better late than never." On his part, Sehwag said that it was a thrilling experience for him to achieve the landmark in front of his childhood idol, Tendulkar. "It was my greatest thrill. Actually the feat is yet to sink in." |

| Wibha & sridhar,
U have spoken as sachin fans. U must view it as a cricket fan. The point is that sachin has never been a match winner. Forget the comparison with lara. He is the owner of all the records in the world, fine. But how many of them have been really useful to the team? It is pertinent to note that he has almost always failed in finals of major ODIS. Nobody disputes his greatness as a batsman. It is just that in crunch situations, he has been found wanting, more often than not. |

So, it is only natural that he is being judged on a very high scale. U cannot compare with on a same scale as, say with laxman. Regarding the usefulness, sachin scores runs, fair enough. But as nakeeran pointed out, he has been a selfish accumulator at times like his mentor gavaskar. Sample : the 193 scored in pakistan. The captain had no choice but to declare. Sachin must have speeded up things. |

Sachin in contemporary times has had very good individual record.

| Will he, won't he? After Loksatta, a Marathi daily, reported on Wednesday that Sachin Tendulkar was "set to retire from one-day cricket at Lord's” on Saturday, media circles here were abuzz. The report stated: “He (Tendulkar) had discussed his desire to retire from ODIs with his best friend around a month ago… But he felt that he should retire honourably, according to his status."
The paper expected Tendulkar to bid adieu to ODIs either after Lord's or after the home series against Pakistan later this year. Loksatta quoted an unnamed friend as saying that “even if his mind doesn't want to accept it, physically he is finding it harder to cope with ODIs". What made the grapevine go slightly haywire was the fact that Tendulkar, in an interview to The Times, London, earlier this week, had talked in a similar vein — about how it was getting harder for his body to cope with the rigours of one-day cricket. However, Rahul Dravid, asked this in the post-match press conference, said these reports were “completely false” and sources close to Tendulkar dismissed them too. Tendulkar himself said what he meant by those remarks was that it would be better if there were more than two days between one-dayers. Logically too, it makes no sense for Tendulkar to contemplate retirement at the moment, given that he is playing beautifully. Yet, star cricketers before him have retired at the top of their prowess. Sources close to his sponsors say that they are extremely worried, given the money riding on the Tendulkar brand. Like everyone else though, they aren’t quite sure what’s happening. |

For Sachin Tendulkar it was the fifth time in the series that he got out in the ninties. Battling cramps and fatigue, Sachin led from the front in giving India a solid start. The little master had five scores in the ninties and India won four of those games. For a man known for decking inummerable centuries in his flooding deck, this is the latest, but a strange phase in his career. In a painfully cold tour of Ireland, Tendulkar unleashed his blade with vengeance when crictics were calling for his head. Not once, but twice he came close to a century against South Africa at Belfast .And India won in style on one ocassion.That was the first glimpse of his resurgence on this tour. After the Lord's failure, his innings at Trent Bridge was the one to savour. Calm, serene and full of style. His 91 in the first innings set the match up for India. At Bristol in the second one-dayer, Tendulkar stepped up a gear. He had blossomed and stroke-making looked so easy under his massive willow. At the Kenington Oval on Wednesday he was almost invincible.Sachin is the second highest run-getter in the one-day series so far, and he has not got a century against his name. So when he goes to the Lords for may be the last time in his career he might just be tempted to fill that 42nd slot, which has been painfully lying vacant. |

| Sachin Tendulkar's match-winning 94 at The Oval may have won him the man of the match award after Wednesday's thrilling two-wicket series-leveling win over England, but the maestro said missing a hundred once again hadn't bothered him as it was India that had won the match.
"I don't mind missing a hundred if India went on to win the match," Tendulkar said after the match, although he battled with cramps towards the end of his magical innings, which set up India's stupendous win. Restored to the top of the order after an indifferent World Cup where he batted in the middle order, Tendulkar has played with tremendous freedom akin to his majestic strokes when he flourished as youth. The glorious cover drive, the pull and the lofted drive down the ground were all there to be seen in his wagon wheel as Tendulkar rose to greater heights which none of the Indians have managed to climb during the current tour. In ten innings in the England series (both test and one-dayer combined)so far, he has plundered 548 runs, with four 90s, at a strike rate of 84.3. The tour also reunited him with his opening partner Sourav Ganguly, and the pair, the most prolific in the history of one-day cricket, added four more century partnerships to take their tally to 25, 16 of them for the first wicket. Tendulkar is 34 but already has 18 years of international cricket behind him; his 140 Tests and 394 ODIs have fetched him more than 25,000 runs, the most in international cricket, reported cricinfo.com. |

Had Sachin failed, the same matches would have been BIG MATCHES and our friends would have been licking their lips with their daggers drawn... So, the rule is, if Sachin scores, its not a big match, and vice versa, Big Matches redefined!
And i wonder what your point is. Scoring against second string bowling attacks is useless. Then the same applies to other batsmen, right? So, whats your grouse with Sachin? You want him dropped for his fault of scoring against South Africa and England? If you support Kapil, then thats what you want. Talking about South Africa, so according to you, scoring against them in bowler friendly conditions and helping India win the series is also useless and will be conveniently forgotten? S,A attack is also second string, perhaps?
Note: Yes, Sachin hasn't done well in finals and of late, he has failed in important junctures. However, to discount everything Sachin has done and harping back to the "big match" mantra smacks of selective amnesia and an utter lack of sense of proportion... Kapil Dev often makes emotional pronouncements and this is not the first time he has said something like this. And he didn't stop with saying Sachin has failed in big matches (forgetting its just a recent trend), he wanted Sachin sacked. He might have been a great player but in this case, his judgment (or the lack of it) sucks! |

The commentator angle came in because we are not discussing about Kapil's great 175 against the best ever bowling attack but about Kapil's totally baseless and as is his wont, emotional allegations against Sachin. His "comments"! He typefies the lowest common denominatior - the fan on the street who has violent mood-swings depending upon Sachin/India's performance on the day. Atleast Chappel is relatively more consistent in his comments but Kapil |

| Team India still a one man army?
London, Sept. 10 (PTI): Umpire Aleem Dar's horrendous decision against Sachin Tendulkar not only doomed India in yesterday's series decider against England but also underlined the side's inability to overcome occasional hiccups and sail through with a team effort. And as much can be said about the Indian batting that still rests so heavily on the strong shoulders of the one and only Tendulkar. The Mumbaikar emerged as India's top scorer in the ODI series with 374 runs against his name, that included four half centuries. He averaged 53.42 and had a healthy strike rate of 85.77. India's spectacular batting collapse after Tendulkar's exit in the series decider only underlines the fact that after all these years, the little champion's contribution remains crucial to the team's success. It also begs the question whether India continues to be a one man army. And the degree to which Tendulkar still holds the key to India's fortunes can be judged from the fact that in all three games that Indian won, it was the 34-year old who piloted the side with his vintage form. It was the same story in Belfast when India beat South Africa for the first time in a one-day series on a foreign soil. In the ODI series against England, Tendulkar's scores of 99 (Bristol), 71 (Leeds) and 94 (Oval) played a major role in India's victories. And when he got another bad decision, this time in his farewell innings at Lord's for 30, the team collapsed like a house of cards. Mahendra Singh Dhoni did score a fighting half-century but the collective tally of the remaining nine batsmen was less than a hundred that showcased India's abject surrender. Yuvraj Singh and Robin Uthappa got out to soft dismissals and the tail, as always, displayed neither the head nor the heart. While there is little doubt that Tendulkar was dogged by a jinx of a series of bad decisions in this series, that, however, should in no way hide India's other failures. At the start of the series, Dravid had backed VVS Laxman to have a great Test series and Yuvraj to take his batting to another level in the one-day series. While Laxman at best made some decent contributions in the Tests, Yuvraj didn't exactly set the world on fire in the one-dayers. In contrast, Tendulkar shone in his final UK tour to prove that he is not a spent force yet and all talks about a possible retirement from the shorter version of the game is a bit premature. |

Tendulkar: A Statistical Look. I made an interesting observation. Most cricket viewers I speak to have no idea regarding Tendulkar's ODI stats and its relationship with India's ODI stats. So: ODI: * India has not lost 271/504 games after Tendulkar's debut [51%]. * Tendulkar has not lost 222/404 games he has played in those 504 games [54%]. * Indian Batting Average in the 504 games after Tendulkar's Debut is 32.0 * Tendulkar's overall batting average in 404 of the 504 games is 44.27 [1.45 times that of India] * Indian Batting Average when it does not lose matches (those 271 games) after Tendulkar's Debut is 44.8 * Tendulkar's batting average when India has not lost games is 55.81 [1.24 times Indian average] * India Loses 75% of the games in which Tendulkar fails to reach 30. * India has not lost 30/41 games where Tendulkar scored a century [73%]. * India has not lost 51/86 games where Tendulkar scored a half-century [60%]. * Rest of India batting order failed to capitalize on Fifty+ starts provided by Tendulkar 46 times. * 37% of the time Tendulkar provides fifty+ starts Rest of India does not cash in. This contributes to 20% the time India has lost with Tendulkar in the team [46/182]. * India's batting average when it loses is 31.1 * Tendulkar's batting average when India loses is 32.92. [1.05 times ~ same as India average] P.S: The author is aware of the cliches and proverbs related to statistics. P.S2: The author believes that if the statistics do not capture the entire truth then the fault lies with the filters/analysis/views applied on those statistics and not the statistic itself. P.S3: The author does not have sufficient statistical tools to run correlation analysis with oether batsmen/bowlers. |

Tender touch AMONG the sweaty, hard men gathered in the Perth dressingroom, conversation turned to the fresh faced young boy just embarking on what seemed certain to be a stellar career. For almost four hours this teenager, brought up on low, slow Indian wickets, had defied four bristling Australian pacemen on the fastest, bounciest pitch in the world with a mixture of grace and power his opponents found hard to fathom in one so young. Merv Hughes cracked open a beer and turned to his captain, Allan Border, the tough, proud Australian who within a couple of years would become the most prolific batsman in Test cricket. "This little prick's going to get more runs than you, AB." Almost 16 years later, Sachin Tendulkar not only has more runs than Border, and fewer only than the princely West Indian Brian Lara, but is about to come full circle by touring Australia for the last time. At 34, he is perhaps the summer's greatest drawcard. If he is past his best, as has become the popular view of cricket's little master, it is worth remembering that his best was magical. For a while his body threatened to deteriorate and he looked like a mortal; with a creaky right elbow and a slight hesitation at the crease. But in recent months, rather than rage against the dying light of his career, Tendulkar has rediscovered his old fluency and concentration. He has 699 runs in eight Tests in 2007 to show for it. Though he politely declined when Indian officials tried to thrust the Test captaincy with all its trappings and traps on him again, a simple urge for making runs and winning remains. The proof is in the current series against Pakistan - but the champion will know that in Australia he will have to prove himself again. Hughes and wicketkeeper Ian Healy both think of Tendulkar as being even younger than his 18 years on that first trip to Australia in 1991-92. In fact, he was already in his third year as a Test cricketer and already had his own folklore; he learnt his cricket on the Maidans of Bombay and before his 15th birthday made an undefeated 329 in a stand of 664 with 17-year-old Vinod Kambli in a schoolboy game. Cricket journalist Mark Ray wrote in The Sunday Age of how he lingered at the nets to see India's "Boy Wonder" bat early in the Australian tour. "As Iwatched from a few metres away ... I saw all the skill, poise and maturity I had heard about. Balance, grace, technique, power and all the time and more to respond against sharp bowling were there." Still, Hughes was more worried about India's established stars - Azharuddin, Srikkanth, Kapil Dev - and Healy had actually forgotten until recently about the 148 not out with which Tendulkar introduced himself in Sydney. It was not until the fifth Test at the WACA ground, where the ball whizzed around his ears and he scored 114, that Tendulkar made a major impression. It was the last time Australia entered a Test with four quicks and no specialist spinner. A chubby kid called Shane Warne had made his debut in Sydney a couple of matches earlier, but was dropped for the WACA. "The one in Perth, he made them in tough conditions and he looked as though he was at home. That was very unusual for a player from the subcontinent," Hughes said. Healy recalls the strange quiet that surrounded Tendulkar when he batted. "He is such a silent mover, as a wicketkeeper I can tell you he was the lightest batsman I have ever seen on his feet. (In one Test match) he was hitting some balls off Warne out of the rough, and he would move down the pitch. After he had hit the ball I would think, 'How did he get there?' I didn't even hear him."I was only two years into my career (in 1991-92) so I didn't really get into the hype that was surrounding him, but it did dawn on me at the end of the series that he was something special," Healy said. "It was impossible to believe he was so young."Tendulkar's average against Australia of 53.11 is only a couple of points lower than his career average. In Australia, it is 54.16. Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie have both claimed his wicket six times in Test cricket, but no bowler in the world has really dominated him."I have always felt with Sachin you kept things as simple as possible. I learnt from Glenn, and it was basically the top of off, just outside off stump, being nice and patient," Gillespie said. "We also had a nice, high bouncer so if he had to play a hook shot there was a little bit of risk to it. Generally we were trying to get him pushing onto that front foot, without it being a half-volley." Gillespie was among the bowlers on the wrong end of Tendulkar's unbeaten 241 at the SCG four years ago, when India came close to becoming the first touring team to defeat Australia at home since theWest Indies in 1992-93. "They belted us. We threw everything we had at them and couldn't nail them," he said. "I think someone in this Test series who could have a bit of success against him is Stuart Clark because he is just relentless with his line and length and he gets good bounce. You really do have to keep it simple and be prepared to bowl a lot of overs." Mitchell Johnson, the young left arm paceman, can spring a surprise with his fast, accurate bouncer, which would suit the theory of former coach John Buchanan, who believes Tendulkar's feet move sluggishly early in his innings nowadays and leave him vulnerable to the short ball. Johnson also has tasted success against him in one-day cricket with a fast, full inswinger. The Australians regard Tendulkar highly, even if some of them think Lara was a more dangerous batsman because of his extravagant stroke play. Warne once remarked that he liked and respected Tendulkar partly because he remained unaffected by a level of fame in India that not even Australia's most marketable cricketers can fully comprehend. Healy believes he will still be a force this summer, if not the force he once was. Even the most patriotic Australians have rejoiced in his batting, and grimaced when he got a bad umpiring decision. Now they have one more chance to see the batsman whose crushing back foot drives moved Hughes to his gruff compliment in Perth all those years ago. They must hope there is something of that young boy left. |

| Tendulkar has been the greatest of these great players. Where Lara excited and Warne enthralled, he has provided a wider satisfaction. There has been a purity about his batting, a simplicity of construction, a correctness of execution, a sense of everything being in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. At the crease, he has offered the glory of the completed cathedral. His straight drive and square cut are definitive versions of the game's two finest strokes.
But Tendulkar has not been a slave to technique. Although he has slowed as he has aged, the Indian has retained his vitality, his ambition, even his idealism. Perhaps it helped that perfection came easily to him. It was not a struggle to play straight or move his feet properly. Indeed, it was almost second nature. He rose early and practised hard at Shivaji Park as a nipper and ever since has progressed with due humility. But the game was inside him, a voice seeking expression. From the start, he knew exactly how the strokes were supposed to be played. It has been a question of execution ever since. Accordingly, Tendulkar came to cricket not so much as a competitor but as an exponent. He has played the game and his opponent. Indians suggest that Tendulkar does not shine on the big occasions - but they have misunderstood him. India yearns for glory. Tendulkar plays with his heart. That is his glory. Now the last of the three treasures begins his final series Down Under, where his greatness was first announced. The audacity of his ton in Sydney and the courage he displayed on a fast track in Perth set him apart. A decade later, his carefully constructed double century at the SCG provoked admiration. Perhaps, though, his most commendable innings was produced between these contrasting expressions of youth and age. Overwhelmed in the first Test of the 1999-2000 series, played in Adelaide, Tendulkar came to the crease at the MCG with his team staggering at 3-31 chasing Australia's tally of 405. The Indian captain responded with a brave and blistering 116 that took his team to 238. He hooked Brett Lee fearlessly, drove Warne over the sightscreen, and with deft placements, quick running and thrilling strokeplay, managed to coax 69 runs from the last two wickets. It was batsmanship at its finest. Watching the Indian champion bat has been the greatest pleasure the game has had to offer. In most respects, Warne and Lara have been his equal but they have not carried his burden or always played with his honour. Both acknowledge this fact by ranking him first almost equals. May he leave as he began, batting superbly, albeit in the more measured style of the seasoned campaigner. |

| 111, Johannesburg, 1992: India's historic tour to South Africa was made memorable by Pravin Amre's century on debut at Durban on a lively track. Tendulkar left his mark on the series with a grand century at The Wanderers. South Africa boasted of an attack that included Allan Donald, Brian McMillan, Craig Matthews. To Tendulkar's credit, he unveiled a flawless display of aggressive batting. The faster they bowled the harder Tendulkar hit. He was not going to be rattled by the short ball at all. He arrived at the wicket with India struggling at 27 for two. It became 77 for four and Tendulkar was left with the lower order to salvage the situation. He shielded his partners and compiled his runs without any discomfort to come up with a sterling century. The South African fans mobbed him at the end of the match and in the melee someone snatched his cap. It was a sight as Tendulkar chased the man and retrieved his cap.

| British PM suggests knighthood for Tendulkar
2 days ago NEW DELHI (AFP) — British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has suggested that India's record-smashing batsman Sachin Tendulkar be considered for knighthood for his rich contribution to the game. "Sachin is one of the great cricketers in the world. It's not for me to decide honours in our country. It is a matter for an independent honours committee," Brown said Monday. "But I'm sure the people recognise that just like Sir Don Bradman and others who were awarded honours as honorary knighthood for the work they did for cricket, there is of course a strong case for reward." The 34-year-old Tendulkar, currently in Australia for a Test series, has so far scored 11,616 runs in 145 Tests with a world-record 38 centuries since making his debut in 1989. He is also the world's leading batsman in one-day internationals, with 15,962 runs in 407 matches with a record 41 hundreds. Brown also congratulated the Indian team on their victory in the third Test at Perth on Saturday, which ended Australia's record-equalling 16-match winning streak. "I applauded the Indian cricket team for their great success against Australia. I think Australia had won 16 matches in a row before the Indian victory in the past few days," he said. Anil Kumble's squad are currently trailing 2-1 in the four-Test series, with the final match starting in Adelaide on Thursday. India will then play a triangular one-day series, also featuring World Cup runners-up Sri Lanka. |

MUMBAI, Jan. 23: The government of Switzerland and the National Basketball Association of the USA have approached the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for using Sachin Tendulkar and some other Indian cricketers for furthering social causes through advertisements. “The Swiss government approached us and wanted Tendulkar to do an ad with world’s No. 1 tennis player Roger Federer for a social cause. Tendulkar was thrilled and agreed to it immediately,” said BCCI chief executive officer Prof. Ratnakar Shetty here. “The NBA has also approached us and wants to utilise our players’ services for furthering social causes,” Mr Shetty added on the sidelines of a media conference last night to announce Boost under-17 Cricket Cup tournament for school children. “We, in the Mumbai Cricket Association had taken a policy not to allow juniors to play limited overs cricket but have relaxed it for this tournament since it’s to be run on an all-India basis .” n PTI |

'I was determined to get a big one here' - Tendulkar Sachin Tendulkar said he was happy to have notched up his first hundred at the Adelaide Oval, one where he hadn't made much of an impact earlier. Returning to the city where he met Don Bradman in 1998, he brought up his sixth hundred in Australia and second of the series. "I knew that Adelaide hasn't been a great ground for me," he said after his unbeaten hundred at the end of the first day. "In 1999 I scored 65 runs here and that was my best so I was determined to get a big one here. It also happens to be Sir Don's home ground. I wasn't thinking about that while batting out there but am very pleased to have got a hundred at this venue." Tendulkar admitted that this was one of his most complete innings, talking about how certain balls went exactly where he intended. "The first straight drive off [Brett] Lee gave me a lot of confidence," he said. "I middled it and the shot went exactly where I wanted it to go. In the next over I repeated it [against Mitchell Johnson]. So I took it from there. "There are days when you are moving well, days when you're not. There are also days when you middle the ball and days when you don't. You need to wait for that moment. I've felt those moments off and on in my career. Any hundred is special but when the team really needs one, it means more. Today there were big shots in between and defensive ones too. It was important we [Laxman and him] just stayed there and played according to the merit of the ball. We needed to play out the good spells properly." Tendulkar has received an overwhelming reception in Australia, entering to standing ovations and being cheered throughout. No other Indian batsman has been accorded such a warm applause. "It's truly special," he said, "and sometimes I need to look at the scoreboard to figure out whether I'm 100-plus or zero. It means a lot to me and would like to thank each and every person for treating me like this. It makes every trip of mine very special." Like in the first two Tests, Tendulkar was particularly severe on Brad Hogg but denied having "targeted" him for punishment. "Any bowler can get you out, you don't want to take anyone for granted," he said. "It all depends on the flow of my innings. If I pick the ball early enough, I will put it away. There were patches when he bowled well and patches when I felt I could put the ball away. Whenever I got the opportunity I made it count. That was my strategy." Tendulkar went from 86 to 100 in sequence that read 4,2,6,2, smashing the part-time spin of Michael Clarke. "I thought the wind was behind me and wanted to used it," he said. "I knew if I middled the ball, it would clear the field. Even if I don't middle it the wind would work. "I was very positive at that stage and if the ball was there to put away, I was prepared to do that again," he said off the six that took him to 98. "When I played that off-drive [to get to 100] I played inside out, though it was not a half-volley. I had that chance to force the ball. I got the time to force it a little bit." He was pleased to have weathered the old-ball burst from Lee - "he has been their stand-out bowler" - and thought India would need to bat as long as possible to increase their chances of leveling the series. "I think to put up a big total in the first innings would be the key. Later on I think the wicket might have some big cracks. Ideally we would like to score as many runs tomorrow. The first session will be very important." |

| A battle most spectacular
Sambit Bal at the Adelaide Oval January 25, 2008 Tendulkar v Lee: the gladiatorial edge between two fierce and supremely skilful competitors, played out over the full spectrum © Getty Images It finally ended five minutes before noon, what could possibly have been Sachin Tendulkar's final masterpiece in the land that has adopted him as a beloved hero, and the passage of play that preceded the dismissal was stirring, featuring another compelling battle between the best bowler and the best batsman of the series. Tendulkar had come out with intent written on his blade, and Lee with fire in the belly. The first half hour went to the batsmen - Tendulkar clipped Lee's first ball to the square-leg boundary - and he and Mahendra Singh Dhoni ran so aggressively that it drove the Australians to distraction. Tendulkar survived a run-out, benefited from an overthrow and Dhoni cracked a couple of crunching shots. In three overs, the Indian total had swelled by 24 runs. It was then that the Australians decided to change their line of attack - rather, their length. The fielder at point had been put back at the ropes from the first over but now square leg went back and, after Tendulkar steered one above the slip cordon, a third man materialised. Dhoni fell first, slapping a long hop from Mitchell Johnson to deep point. It was now left to Lee to resume hostilities. One ball went whistling past the off stump, Tendulkar cut one so hard it screamed through Mike Hussey's hands to the boundary, an attempted upper cut didn't connect, and another well-targeted bouncer had Tendulkar hopping. The 150 came up with a picture-perfect cover drive that reduced the slip cordon to one as Ricky Ponting went to man the cover region. It was inevitable that the next ball would be short, and Tendulkar was ready. However, the pull is the only stroke in his repertoire that betrays the ravages of time, and the ball sliced off his inner-edge for a painful blow to inner part of his knees, which required medical attention. Lee repeated the ball after the interruption, and Tendulkar repeated the stroke, aiming to clear midwicket, but only managed a miscue that ballooned up to deep square leg, where Brad Hogg missed a step but secured the catch. The home crowd cheered with joy at the prized wicket, but moments later all that turned to prolonged appreciation as Tendulkar began his slow retreat. Lee, meanwhile, had found time to put an affectionate and admiring hand on Tendulkar's helmet. It was a lovely, human touch to what has been the contest within a contest. There have been several others in the series, but Harbhajan Singh v Ricky Ponting has hardly been a contest so far, the bowler coming up trumps every time. There is another brewing between Ponting and young Ishant Sharma. Between Sourav Ganguly and Hogg it has been a feisty one. Hogg has hardly been able to buy a wicket this series, but when it comes to Ganguly it seems he just has to roll his arm over. But between Tendulkar and Lee has been the grandest one: it has brought out the gladiatorial edge between two fierce and supremely skilful competitors, and it has been played out over the full spectrum. Numbers will tell you that Lee has had the edge, dismissing Tendulkar four times, but Tendulkar's average against Lee in the series doesn't tell the full picture. That is, both the players have managed to raise their game when playing each other. Lee's spells to Tendulkar were exceptional in both innings in Perth, but Tendulkar counter-punched his way to 71 before he was adjudged lbw. It was a harsh decision: he was hit on the flap, while on the hop, and the ball would have sailed over the stumps. However, Tendulkar had been reprieved early in Sydney and it was the third time in that over Lee had beaten his bat. In the second innings, Lee nailed him early, this time plumb in front. Lee was asked for his thoughts on Tendulkar after his Sydney hundred. His answer was brief, but it came instantly: No 1, he said, without batting an eyelid. It said it all And on a flat pitch in Adelaide yesterday, Lee produced the spell of the match, reverse-swinging the old ball at pace, taking one out, bending another back. VVS Laxman's wicket was his reward, but Tendulkar played him out, watching the ball close and till late, and attempting no extravagant strokes. And having survived, he was fulsome in praise. "It was the toughest spell," he said, " Lee has been the top bowler throughout the series ... he has not given us any breathing space at all." The admiration is hardly one-sided. Lee was asked for his thoughts on Tendulkar after his Sydney hundred. His answer was brief, but it came instantly: No 1, he said, without batting an eyelid. It said it all. Between Tendulkar and Lee, they have showcased what we really cherish about Test cricket. A master has rediscovered his zest and rolled back the years, and a fast bowler has reached his prime. It's been a privilege to watch them. Sambit Bal is the editor of Cricinfo |

| Back in Melbourne, "Aussie Ana" was adding to her ratings. 20-year-old Ana Ivanovic of Serbia, the 2008 Australian Open semi-finalist, endeared herself to sports fans Down Under thanks as much to her knockout good looks as for her tennis skills. A nation that feeds off the deeds of its sportspersons, Australia has always welcomed the talented with open arms. It was the same 16 years ago, when another youngster, the 18-year-old Sachin Tendulkar, arrived on his maiden voyage and returned with two spectacular centuries, leaving behind impressions that still endure in the minds of the natives.
Now, nearly two decades on, it is almost as if they have adopted him as one of their own. There have been other visiting champions during this age, such as Brian Lara of the West Indies, but none has attracted quite the sort of rapturous applause that has greeted Tendulkar every time he has walked out onto a cricket ground in Australia during this series. Yes, much of it has to do with this tour probably being his last, but it was much the same in the 2003-04 series, and in 1999-2000. Just what it is about Tendulkar that the Australians so love? The reasons have as much to do with Australia as with the man himself. Bill Lawry, the former Australian captain, points out that Australians have always had time for champions. "We've always enjoyed champions and they could be in any sport." Peter Roebuck, who captained Viv Richards and Ian Botham at Somerset, and enjoys something approaching Tendulkar-like status in cricket writing himself, reckons it has to do with the sentimentality of Australians. "It's a new country, and its people get excited when they see great innings' like Tendulkar's." He goes on to stress that the likes of Lara and Shane Warne were "mixed blessings", while Tendulkar is not. Gideon Haigh, historian and cricket writer, agrees that his countrymen admire anyone who does well against them, but presents a unique point. "It is partly a mark of respect, partly a symptom of national narcissism. I think Australians are also fascinated by Tendulkar's status in India. Australian cricketers are hugely popular in their own country, but they do not need protection from their fans in the fashion Tendulkar does. His fame, to us, makes him an emblem of Indian extremity and exoticism." There is also the matter of two ringing endorsements, delivered by Australian greats. When Tendulkar was at his peak in the mid-to-late-1990s, one day Sir Don Bradman called his wife Jessie to the television set and said how he could see himself in the young man he was watching play on the screen. Then Warne, talking about his contests with the Indian, said Tendulkar gave him "nightmares". Mark Taylor, another Australian captain who played against Tendulkar and has been an admirer from the day he first watched him play, thinks the Bradman compliment was a major head-turner. "Suddenly people thought, 'Hold on, you don't have the greatest batsman saying things just like that.'" Taylor also points out that part of the admiration has to do with the sheer amount of runs Tendulkar has made in Australia. Six of Tendulkar's 39 Test centuries have come in Australia, each worth its own photo album. Haigh's personal favourite was the MCG Test of 1999. "The Indian batsmen struggled awfully. [Rahul] Dravid was lifeless, inert," he remembers. "But Tendulkar was so immediately at home that it was almost like the Aussies just gave up trying to get him out and decided to work around him." Haigh calls Tendulkar not just a great batsman but a fascinating batsman: "so correct, so compact, as intricate and exquisitely functioning as a Fabergé egg." Tendulkar came to Australia for the 1991-92 series as a impressionable youngster. His legend was already on the way to being established, thanks to the world record he had set with Vinod Kambli in school cricket. When he arrived in Australia, people wanted to see the young phenomenon. "People loved him then because he seemed to be still a boy but played brilliantly," recollects Mark Ray, a senior Australian journalist. Ray, the author of Cricket Masala, a brilliant photographic travelogue of his various cricketing tours, touches on another aspect of Tendulkar's appeal. "His modesty is a bit old-fashioned these days and appeals to many Australians. We have an image of being tough, very self-confident sportsmen, but most of the public here still prefer the modest champion. He stands out in that regard." Jim Maxwell of ABC Radio believes its Tendulkar's flawless character that has defined him. "Australians like the humble, the laconic, no-complaining types, which Tendulkar is." Mike Coward, the eminent cricket writer, says: "Humility and civility have followed him all his life." For Coward it is Tendulkar "who has raised awareness about Indo-Australian cricket, given it a profile more than anyone else. He is someone people can relate to." Tendulkar for his part has valued the importance of gaining the respect of the most feared opponents around. Ravi Shastri, a team-mate at the time, recalls how Tendulkar, even on his first Australian tour, wanted to take the fight to the Aussies. "We were at the SCG and the contest was getting heated. Both of us were batting well and the Aussies were shooting sledges from all directions. I told him that I would take care of them while he focused on his batting. He was mentally charged. I still remember him saying, 'Let me get past my 100, then I will give it back', in Marathi. Let me point out again that he said he wanted to get to the century and only then would he distract himself." When asked recently if Australia ever felt like a second home to him, Tendulkar said, laughing: "I only have one home. But it's truly a special feeling to walk in to such a reception, when I don't know if I am batting on zero or on 100." In private conversations with friends Tendulkar has talked about his appreciation for the respect he has been accorded in Australia. He told a senior Indian journalist friend how satisfying it was to score his 39th Test hundred at the Adelaide Oval, the home of Bradman, who would have been close to a hundred years old if he were still alive. Tendulkar wouldn't admit that in the public lest it was mistaken for false modesty, but thereby he adds another layer to his greatness. General Peter Cosgrove, a former head of the Australian Defence Force, delivering the 2008 Sir Donald Bradman oration at the University of Western Australia two weeks ago, said, "Australians are among the most overtly competitive people on the planet. Cricket defines our approach to competition: it has rules and teams, it demands focus and self-confidence. It entails an intense desire and will to win; it needs an abundance of skill, stamina, courage and perseverance." Indeed, these are the qualities Sachin Tendulkar has come to define for Australians among others. And in so doing, he has come to represent an unreachable ideal. Greg Baum, columnist at Melbourne's Age, wrote in Wisden Asia Cricket magazine a few years ago: "Here is a man not susceptible to human failing in any endeavour, a man not so much invincible as invulnerable." He ended his appreciation by calling Tendulkar "the game's secular saint". |

whether he was bothered by his senior-most batsman failing to make big runs. After topping the run-charts in the Tests, Sachin Tendulkar seemed to have lost his rhythm - until Sunday, when he played the perfect innings in the perfect chase when it mattered most.

| LJP takes up cudgels on Sachin's behalf
PATNA: Little Master Sachin Tendulkar might not like to speak out against his detractors even after his scintillating performance in Sydney on Sunday, but his supporters are out to ridicule Sachin-baiters. In one such move, the sports wing of LJP took out a victory procession here on Monday. Speakers took a dig at Tendulkar's critics and said his 42nd ODI century was a befitting reply to them. The LJP activists also launched a signature campaign in support of their demand that the cricketing genius be conferred with Bharat Ratna. "Political parties have been projecting their respective leaders for the coveted award, but Sachin is far ahead of such people and, as such, true claimant for the award," said Mahesh Kumar, president of the Bihar unit of LJP sports wing. Kumar said Monday's signature campaign was just the beginning of LJP efforts in this direction and the party would launch a sustained movement till the award was conferred on Sachin. "Also, LJP leader Ram Vilas Paswan will raise the demand in Parliament," he added |

| Ponting asks teammates to learn from Tendulkar
Sydney: Australian skipper Ricky Ponting today asked his batsmen to take a leaf out of Sachin Tendulkar's masterclass at the SCG if they want to beat India in the second cricket tri-series finals in Brisbane on Tuesday. India thrash Russia 8-0 in Olympic qualifiers "I would like our batsmen to take a look at how he (Tendulkar) built an innings. He had a few close shaves to start with but once he got through the new ball, he upped the tempo of his innings and controlled the game beautifully," said a subdued Ponting after his side's six-wicket defeat. "Tendulkar sums up a game situation very well, that's something we would require our batsmen to do and go for big knocks when set." Ponting said Tendulkar appeared to plan ahead of what his team was trying to do against him. "He has some sort of plan what we are trying to do. We have to think one step ahead of him," he said. Full coverage: Indian Premier League | India in Australia Ponting also didn't lose sight of young Rohit Sharma, the other Indian batting star of the night. "He played very well. He rotated the strike nicely and kept the scoreboard ticking over. He looks pretty calm and controlled. His stand with Tendulkar was one of the big moments of the game," he said. Ponting conceded that the visitors had their nose in front of them and his team would have to lift themselves in all departments of the game in the next match at the Gabba. "In that Melbourne game (on February 29) I thought we were switched off. We were too excited to plan for finals. But today, we didn't do a good job with bat, ball or in the field.’’ "We pride ourselves for doing well in big games, in finals, but it didn't happen today." |

| Another big innings from the Little Master
Peter Roebuck March 5, 2008 A MATCH jam-packed with desperate action has brought a pulsating summer to an appropriately dramatic conclusion. It was a contest full of thrills and spills. First Sachin Tendulkar seemed to have won the series for his team. Then the Indian lower order faltered. Australia collapsed again but, as the crowd roared, James Hopes restored hope for his overheated side. And then, with two cricketing countries agog, a mighty visiting captain tossed the ball to his most vulnerable bowler and the deed was done. It was enormous. Might have been a changing of the guard. Apart from the frenzied finish and the curious outbreak of tackles on the field, the abiding memory of the match came from Tendulkar's bat. The first final had produced one of the game's finest chasing innings. Alas the hullabaloo distracted attention from Tendulkar's hundred. Accordingly, reporters hoped for a second helping from the maestro. Happily he obliged with a superb effort in the second final. Over the last 15 years cricket enthusiasts have enjoyed many delights but two stand out. Anyone able to follow the careers of Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne at close quarters has been privileged. They count amongst the most enchanting and compelling cricketers the game has seen. Both were craftsmen of high calibre but also artists of supreme talent. Warne was a mesmerising tweaker with a fiercely competitive streak. The Indian remains a classical batsman unburdened with ego and capable of exquisite strokeplay. Magnificent in Sydney, Tendulkar produced another well-paced innings. It is not so long ago that observers wondered whether the time had come for the veteran to slip down the order. He had been losing his wicket to the new ball and seemed to have lost his edge. Recently another critic pointed out that Tendulkar had never scored a one-day hundred in Australia and had a relatively poor record chasing targets. Never awaken the sleeping tiger. Although Brett Lee beat him with a couple of frisky outswingers, Tendulkar looked comfortable from the first ball. At such times his bat appears as wide as the Suez Canal. The straight drive is the cornerstone of his batting and he plays it perfectly. To this solid foundation he adds fertile strokes square of the wicket and improvisations executed with imagination and dexterity. But the drive past the bowler tells the tale. It is an immaculate stroke unfurled without any hint of flamboyance. Tendulkar does not indulge himself at the crease. His style is not a style at all, merely his way of scoring runs. He calculates and then commits. Not that every straight drive is the same. Normally the ball is punched past the bowler with an abbreviated swing. Facing Stuart Clark, though and finding the ball holding in the pitch, he adjusted his stroke, rolled his wrists at impact and still managed to send the ball speeding past deep mid-on. If the seamer was nonplussed by this offering, he must have been startled by the batsman's next creation as a good length delivery was blasted past him off the back foot. Few men have been able to play the straight pull. The Indian also took delight in guiding lifters over the slips, the shot that kept the score rattling along in Sydney. Nor is he content merely to elude the catchers. At one stage at the Gabba, Ricky Ponting sent two colleagues to patrol the third man boundary whereupon the batsman sent the ball between them. It is difficult enough to find the gaps with orthodox strokes. Tendulkar is also adept at developing singles off accurate deliveries. Either he stuns the ball towards gully and scampers or he steers the ball behind point with a stroke reminiscent of a monarch knighting a favoured admiral. Accordingly, he does not allow pressure to build. After a bright start, Tendulkar pushed the score along steadily, biding his time and allowing fresher partners to take risks. His hundred in Sydney must have taken a toll. Moreover, the Australians had raised their game, especially in the field where Michael Clarke excelled. Nevertheless, the Indian opener marched impressively towards a final onslaught. But the nineties have often been his undoing, so much so that his eldest son has advised him to hit a six as soon as he reaches 94. Tendulkar did not get that far, a weary stroke bringing him down. For the 17th time he had lost his wicket within 10 runs of an one-day international hundred. India defended its score with the utmost spirit and left the country with heads held high. Throughout a contentious trip these tourists played with tenacity and audacity. It has been a colossal struggle between an ageing champion and a bold challenger. |

That fire in your eye which says to the opponent that game is not over yet buddy, till I am here.your mere presence which makes us feel that game is not over yet.We love you not bcoz you have made so many hundreds ,we love you bcoz after making hundred you look at the god as if giving credit to your god & parents for making this hundred that humble waving of bat towards the crowd & rising your bat towards dressing room & saying that I am still there dont worry.Its not about you getting out of form,but its about how hard you try to comeback in form, that effort you make to come in form, even after missing so many deliveries instead of getting frustrated you start trying harder & harder for staying on the wicket like your life is dependent on it.We love your patience when you are dealing with the worst form of your life.we love you not bcoz you are one of the indias most paid sportsperson,but we love you bcoz even after all this you have time to meet a child in hospital to fulfill his last wish.Its not about that asking the ball in last over to ball when very 6 runs were required.we love you because you have the self belief to ask to ball the last over when very 6 runs were required.we love you because you have the self belief to ask to ball the last over when very 6 runs were required....that confident look that punching the air when we win the match that respect for your own country.that shaking the head after hitting a four as if saying to himself..cmon u can do it sachin..That no sign of superiority.where you let your bat do the talking instead of your mouth.where you show stars in the morning to the worlds best bowlers.The fair game which you play.where you put your country before yourself.That attitude in you which says let how hard defeat be..A day will come when we will win.I cant imagine myself watching cricket after retirement of sachin.Somewhere I hope that my childrens would be learning a subject called Sachin Tendulkar & learn to live king size the impression it would put on young minds would be umimaginable.He is the history in the making.We love perseverance of yours where you practice day in and day out.we love you not bcoz you r still one of the best in the business but we love you bcoz you are still playing for India inspite of this lifetime injuries.We love you not bcoz of the way you play cricket but bcoz you have showed us the path to live in a greater manner,you told us that never ever to give up until the game(life) is over.you told us that even if you achieve the greatest feats in this world you have to remember god & your parents & all those who have helped you reach there.you told us to go out there in the world and achieve what you want from your heart,never listen to the critics.. I dont watch you bcoz of cricket,I watch cricket bcoz of you. |

| Open Letter to Sachin Tendulkar: Must Read!
Mainak Dhar is an alumnus of IIM-Ahmedabad whose career in the corporate sector has spanned almost a dozen years across Mumbai, Bangkok and now Singapore. In this new and exclusive series, Mainak writes open letters to people in the news, commenting on the state of affairs in today’s Indian society. Today’s column is an open letter to cricket star, Sachin Tendulkar. Dear Sachin, Eighteen years ago, a sixteen year-old boy took his guard before a hostile Pakistani bowling attack and entered the annals of Indian cricketing history, and the hearts and minds of Indian cricket fans. Many miles away in Delhi, another 16 year-old boy watched his new hero bat with the courage of a lion, and began recording his scores in a small notebook. The first boy obviously is you, and over the years, you grew to be one of the all time greats of the sport. The second boy is yours truly, and for close to a dozen years, I would assiduously record each and every score of yours in a notebook, with details of the opponent, and key statistics of the inning. That tattered notebook is now lost, but over the years, I have come to admire you for more than just your cricketing prowess. Every once in a while, people crawl out of the woodworks, either armchair cricketers or have-been players who never came anywhere close to your talent or success. Displaying that most Indian of traits, the willingness to drag down anyone who shines, they proclaim your demise and ask for you to retire. You maintain a dignified silence, and then shut these idiots up in the best possible way, by letting your bat do the talking. The most recent example being the tour of Australia, where more than one former cricketer wrote articles saying you had lost your edge. In doing so, they miss the point that you probably hold yourself to standards higher than they could ever set for you, and one day, when you do choose to hang up your pads, it will be on your own terms. But perhaps what they miss is the even more important fact that you mean so much more than the number of runs or centuries you have scored. In today’s Indian society, the slightest whiff of success is assumed to synonymous with excesses and imbalance. From Bollywood actors to politicians to business leaders and yes, Cricket stars, drug and alcohol abuse, corruption or sex scandals are often seen as inevitable accompaniments to success. In our campuses, the only metric of success is salary, and in our boardrooms, creeping up the corporate ladder is all that counts, at the cost of dysfunctional marriages and personal lives. In this morass of brats, scandals and shenanigans, you stand head and shoulders apart by sheer dint of your personality. No affairs, no scandals, no drug overdoses — you are a God on the Cricket field, blessed with talent that none of us can aspire to, but off it, you are a decent, humble family man who tries to keep his personal life apart from his professional in a very dignified way — the sort each of us can become if we wanted to. The fact that you have managed to maintain this balance despite your dizzying success makes you even more of a hero than your cricketing success alone. One day, you will step off the playing field, and your contribution to the record books will stop, but these lessons that you impart by just being the person you are should be heeded by all of us, even those who aren’t cricket fans. In a few months, I am going to be a father, and my one regret is that my son will never be able to see you play. However, I am an inveterate storyteller, and among the hundreds of stories I cook up for him will be the fairy tale story of a cherubic little boy who grew to be a giant among men, and along the way showed us that greatness comes from not one’s material success or achievements, but from remaining a decent, balanced person despite any success one achieves. Thanks for all the memories, and for that story. Warm regards. Mainak |

| On Sachin Tendulkar's electrifying performance in the two finals, Lara said there was never any doubt about the master batsman's calibre but former Australian coach John Buchanan had provoked the Indian before the series.
"I have said it many times that he is a great player. I don't want to repeat it. But (John) Buchanan made a mistake by lighting up fire under Sachin before the start of the series," he said. Buchanan had said that Tendulkar would find it difficult to handle the short pitched deliveries by the Australian fast bowlers. |

| 0.Billions of hearts weep…..on the day when Sachin (GOD) retire.
Indians wish that day never comes. It would be one of the most disappointing days of our life. Ever since Indians started watching cricket, it was Sachin, Sachin & only Sachin who made them feel cricket so special. Sachin is only responsible for making cricket a religion in India. They haven’t experienced watching cricket without Sachin. Whether he was injured/rested, there was always a ray of hope that he comes back to team soon. But after retirement, he will never be backing………..If anyone wants to achieve anything in life, Sachin is the best example for them. I feel most people find it hard to digest that Sachin will no more be a part of Indian cricket…….on that day, isn’t it? JUST imagine that day, when Sachin plays his last game. He comes to bat for the last time, and everybody in the stadium claps & the chants of SACHIN!!! came for the last time after he gets out, while walking back to the pavilion, the entire crowd gives him a stand awaition. Many of them will be in tears, millions of eyes wet watching their hero play for the last time. An era ends. The end of a legend came……..The bond between every generation breaks. Would you miss Sachin a lot? I think most of people would say “YES”. The saddest day of Indian cricket- when genius retires…LOVE YOU SACHIN!!! |

| On his personal form, and thoughts of the future
I am not thinking of retirement. I have heard lots of rumours about it. I don't know who is starting them. If you know I'm retiring let me know, so I'm not caught off guard. People have their own agenda and ways of judging things. I don't read articles. They don't help me in any way. People who help me, I'm regularly in touch with them. And if they think there is anything I need to work on, they tell me about it. Someone who writes needs to have the credibility. After playing for so many years I know what is expected of me and what is right and wrong. I focus my energies in the right direction Can all you pundits close your a!@#$$% please |

| "TENDULKAR'S IMPACT ON INDIAN ECONOMY & SOCIETY"
He's not just an oriental Bradman with a flair for risk. His feats may delight the thousands that watch him. But beyond genes and statistics hides a man who's just sheer inspiration. How would you define Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar? How do you portray a man whose straight drives to the ropes raise your confidence? How do you gauge a phenomenon whose centuries ignite hope all around? Yes, how do you explain an inspiration that has given a new meaning to our lives? Don't plot Sachin on the axes of cricket and conquest alone. Plot him on the axes of success and sentiment, to measure his inspiration quotient. In a life tugged by stress and competition, people seek feelgood factors in job satisfaction, quality time spent at home, good health, creative leisure, and weekend get-togethers. Often, a Harry Potter comes along spreading good cheer in the family. Still, Sachin remains the most consistent feelgood factor in a country desperately striving for global competitiveness, communal harmony, political stability, and economic prosperity. For India and family alike, Sachin is a gladiator battling for happiness. In the arena of gloom, he's the ultimate morale-booster. And he's done a damn good job of it. People don't watch cricket, they watch Sachin; they are not moved by India's victory as much as they are stimulated by Sachin's success. It's a question of sentiment. And statistics don't divulge a thing. Have you asked yourself what happens when Sachin hits a ton? Just how do homes, and neighbourhoods, react? In a Sachin century, how does a nation celebrate its own success? How does it create a convergence of disparate minds? Just imagine how your neighbourhood danced a few years ago when Sachin was clobbering Shane? That's the manner in which Sachin has hooked India. Inflation, recession, and unemployment, are quickly dropped from one's mind when he arrives at the crease. As a kid, I remember my father promising me a treat if Sunny or Vishy went berserk. Today, he is as generous if Sachin goes wild. With Sachin becoming a regularity in our lives, perhaps it's not a bad idea to map Sachin-induced, or Sachin-triggered, sentiment at the national level. Maybe boys and girls party; maybe people go on a shopping spree; maybe fun and frolic descends on households; maybe romance revisits families. Yes, maybe kids are flooded with parental attention. Sure, as runs drive retail, business would get a boost. But so widespread, and unnoticed, is the Sachin sentiment that its ripple-effect can only be sensed, not measured. In a career spanning 12-and-a-half years, Sachin has cracked 60 centuries in both forms of cricket. That's around five centuries a year. Six tons a year is not a big deal for a batsman who gets better by the day. For his fans, it translates into six feel-good occasions a year. For business, it could mean at least six shopping triggers. It's all about feeling good. Indeed, behind the Sachin craze lies his persona. Decades ago, Don Bradman became a hero to a world demoralized by wars. He was ``the heartbeat, the inspiration, the image of all that is good in sport and life in general,'' says Steve Waugh. You can say that of Sachin today. For Sachin stirs a nation that is starving for global champions, role models, middle-class ethic, and higher values. If anything, his schoolboy innocence is quite infectious. Many, many years after he set a school record of 644 runs, in partnership with Vinod Kambli, Sachin still hasn't lost the childlike wonder and curiosity that stamped those innings. And like Steve Waugh's cap, it'll stay that way. It has taught him to be at harmony with himself. In the days of sledging, killer-spirit, and mental demolition, the 5 ft 4 in Sachin is an exception. Aquib Javed found that out when he tried to disturb Sachin by sledging. Unflustered and curious, Sachin asked Aquib why he was trying to upset himself. This, then, is the man who only hears the leather and talks with the willow, a picture of perfect poise on the pitch. To write about Sachin is to write about a person who has transcended global class, an icon who keeps raising aspirational levels. For Sachin combines aspects of the gentleman in Sobers, the wizard in Bradman, and the conqueror in Richards. But Sachin has created a new cricket: a game where subtlety and humility are the weapons of the unassuming hero. It's a game whose boundaries are drawn by innocence, curiousity, passion, and genius. It's a game that inspires audiences. It has a hero that uplifts India. Yes, it's the Sachin sentiment, stupid. Next time, you take your family out after a Tendulkar blast, you'll know what a feel-good factor is. And, yes, it's extremely infectious and refreshing. http://www.orkut.com/CommMsgs.aspx?cmm=23803&tid=2591720793423278385 |

The mirror replied, when a country was completely deprived of economic, intellectual, natural and sporting wealth. And when half the gold of our country was given to the world bank for loan and when india was considered as a third world nation and when we indians lacked confidence even to keep our heads high.. when the whole nation was craving for a reason to be proud of.. and when even a fourth position in olympics (PT usha) was considered as a great achievement and a thing to cherish.. a star arose.. sorry a SUN arose.. a 15 year old kid made the indians proud... Proved that world records can be created even by indians.. he not only changed the indian cricket single handedly.. he changed the outlook of indians single handedly.. Indians were no more losers.. they too can achieve.. he inspired a generation and many more generations to come.. |

| Welcome to Chennai, Mr Cricket: After that breathtaking 50-ball century in Mohali, this was Michael Hussey's first home game and the roars and chants of his name as he walked out to bat were similar to those that will greet Lionel Messi later tonight when he steps onto the Nou Camp turf. The silence when he inside-edged one from Dhawal Kulkarni was all-pervasive and it suggested that IPL fans are quickly becoming one-eyed, like every good home crowd should be. The sole exception was when Sachin Tendulkar was spotted on TV, talking to the commentators. God, after all, transcends parochial boundaries. |

When Sachin plays, big-city roads are easy and trains and buses ply empty at rush hour and the markets take a beating... When Sachin plays, grandmothers who know next to nothing about the game forget knitting and resting and medicines and pray their gods as they sit frozen, staring nervously at their television screen... When Sachin plays , busy, ambitious executives ignore their calls and cancel their appointments and avoid their clients and miss their deadlines amd their careers on hold... When Sachin plays, college Common Rooms are dense and tense and hushed as an entire generation sits on pins and needles... When Sachin plays, school-yards are silent and playgrounds are deserted because those who normally make such a racket imitating their hero are all too busy watching him make batting look so ridiculously easy... When Sachin plays, fathers who want the news and daugthers and mothers who always want soft stuff and brothers who fight for action, for once all agree on what to watch... When Sachin plays, bowlers and fielders and opposing captains feel their impotence and inadequacy like at no other time and curse themselves and wonder what they can do, if anything, to end the shame, the nightmare, the humiliation... When Sachin plays, commentators and experts run out of adjectives and expressions of wonder and comparisons... When Sachin plays, lay spectators have no need for words at all and just jump and scream and whistle and clap and hug each other and cry and wave their flags and banners and thank their lucky stars for being there... When Sachin plays, India forgets its differences and divisions and teeters between tensions and exhilaration and breaths and laughs and cries as one, as its heart fills with pride and joy and patriotism... When Sachin plays, all else is IRRELEVANT. |

| I have found Sachin's Achilles heel!
Steve Waugh Australia had Sir Donald Bradman, America had Babe Ruth, and India has Sachin Tendulkar. Rarely does a sportsman carry the weight of a nation upon his shoulders each time he goes out to perform, but such is the stature of these three icons that any failure to deliver sparks debate as to what is wrong and how it can be solved. Imran Khan's recent statement ignited the latest round of such heated discussions. Success is expected, almost demanded, by the adoring masses, because when these men walk out to play it is no longer a game, it is a measure of the nation's worth that is on the line. Today, as the Little Man takes on the world champions on home turf, the expectations will be high. So what if he scored a hundred just the other night? Nothing less will be expected on Saturday. Tendulkar is a god to one billion of his countrymen, but in reality he is your average guy in many ways, with the obvious exception of his talent. The Player He loves the big occasion, especially playing against Australia and Pakistan. When he walks out at the Wankhede, facing the best in the world will certainly get his juices flowing and he will invariably rise to the challenge. He walks to the crease in India to rapturous applause every time and rides the tidal wave of goodwill and monumental noise to lift his game. He can singlehandedly change the momentum and course of a match within half an hour. He senses weakness in opponents well and pounces immediately, whilst at the same time closes you down if he senses danger. He refuses to take Glenn McGrath on and would rather see him bowl maidens than risk getting out. You can sense it when Sachin sets himself up for a big innings because he will concentrate on leaving balls, making sure his defence is watertight, his balance will be extraordinarily still with his head being statue-like, his running between the wickets will be 10 per cent sharper than normal, he will slide into the crease at the completion of one run to try and steal a second. His face will be deadpan, focussing on the task ahead. He will keep to himself and never talk to the opposition. As a bowler he is a talented leg-spinner with a repertoire as extensive as many frontline bowlers, and is capable of much better than his statistics indicate. His medium pace relies on bluff, aura, and a variety of deliveries to coax a batsman out, whilst his off-spinners are steady. He is a dependable fieldsman who rarely makes mistakes from his outfield positions and it is surprising that he rarely finds himself in a catching cordon or close to the bat. Captaincy did not suit him early in his career, possibly because the burden he already carries with the bat may have been too much to consume with the added responsibility of looking after the team. But he is tactically astute, reads a game well, and is the 'go-to' man if things are falling apart and a remedy is required. The Technique 'Bradmanesque' is probably how I would sum his technique up primarily because the Don himself said that Sachin was the closest thing he had seen to himself. He uses a very heavy bat with a couple of grips, which aids his power upon impact and explains his high percentage of boundaries. He has a very simple backswing, short and straight, which leaves little room for error and therefore enables him to play straight and hit through the line down the ground. He judges length as well as anyone in the world and is equally confident and capable off the front or back foot. He uses his wrists superbly to the spinners, manipulating the ball into gaps, but can also be brutal and go over the top, even hitting against the spin, which means he watches the ball extremely closely. He does tend to play spinners off the pitch and isn't afraid to let it bounce and turn before deciding which shot to play. In Australia, with the extra bounce, his heavy bat may cause some problems when playing horizontal shots, as the balance is hard to maintain. If a weakness is possible, it may be the opportunity to bowl him 'through the gate' off the quicks because he likes to drives on the up, and his downswing comes slightly from the legside, meaning his bat comes down at a slight angle, occasionally presenting a bat face that's not full. South Africa has been his nemesis team, probably because they try and bore him out by bowling wide of the stumps and waiting for his patience to falter. Unfortunately, that isn't the way we generally play, so we will need to come up with a different strategy to combat his genius. As you can see the guy is a genius, but as Aussies we love a challenge, and with him heading Down Under our chance will come. As always he will be a key wicket, not only because he is a brilliant player, but more importantly, if we can expose him, the team can be a little vulnerable. It's a challenge we all can't wait for. The Man Sachin loves to surround himself with close friends and family and spend quality time with them, especially his children. He enjoys spending time in London, where he can play with his kids in the parks and go relatively unnoticed. He has a passion for fast cars and owns a Ferrari, which he can only really take out for a drive in his hometown Mumbai in the early morning hours when the masses are asleep and the roads clear of traffic and swarming people. He is fiercely competitive, which I experienced firsthand when Brian Lara, Sachin, and myself had to film a TV ad and compete in a go-kart race. Being a keen go-karter I had the know-how to negotiate the corners and accelerate at the right time. Sachin, like Brian, was a novice and struggled to get the hang of it during our practice day. Brian didn't lose any sleep over his lack of prowess, even though the following evening we had to race in front of 5,000 people. Sachin on the other hand stayed behind and got some lessons from the track owner to sharpen his technique. You would never have seen so many people spring to attention and panic when Sachin failed to negotiate a corner on the home straight and hurtled full pace into the safety tyres during his practice lap. He not only carried on, but by the end of a couple of circuits he was adept at all the angles and intricacies of the course. Needless to say, he acquitted himself very well on the race night and ended up in top position on the dais. Our TV ad was set in a nightclub and required Sachin, Brian and me to move rhythmically to the music. I can tell you that whilst I was a total flop in the dancing stakes, so was one Sachin Tendulkar. Well, he wasn't as bad as me, but neither of us were a patch on the silky smooth Trinidadian Brian Lara. So at least I found out his Achilles heel, but it's of no use on the cricket field. |

| Sachin Tendulkar to Appear On CNN's Talk Asia
Cricket Legend , Sachin Tendulkar will appear on CNN's Talk Asia show which will be aired on Saturday 31st May at 0730 & 2300 and Sunday 1st June at 0830, 1530 & 2100 . He's one of cricket's greatest batsman, with a devoted following of millions. Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar sits down with CNN's Anjali Rao in Mumbai and shares with her the thrill of playing cricket, his thoughts on the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the importance of his family in keeping him grounded. Tendulkar also looks back on a glittering career, relives his favorite matches and reveals the players he has most enjoyed playing against. The IPL, India's hugely popular new cricket tournament is wrapping up this weekend. For Tendulkar, what is so special about this Twenty20 league is how it has not just been about the cricket but its evolvement into a social phenomenon. "It's a lot to do with the families, you know the outings in the evenings. It used to be the cinema, watching a movie or a play...but now it's the evenings...in the form of a cricket match where the whole family goes out together..." When asked about the incidents involving fellow cricketer Harbhajan Singh and whether cricket can be viewed a ‘gentleman's' game any more, Tendulkar says: ‘Now that there's a lot of media attention on the players, and everything is put under a microscope so sometimes it's blown out of proportion, sometimes the player is at fault." Tendulkar has been labeled ‘genius' by his fellow contemporaries, Asian hero by TIME magazine and every little boy in India aspires to be him. The ‘God' to many remains humble about his achievements and reveals he too has a choice for the title of "Greatest Batsman": "I think that someone that I would like to watch is Brian Lara. I think he's special As a father, he keeps his children grounded and hopes they can have as normal a life as possible. He recalls a poignant moment when his daughter's teacher was telling the class about a restaurant the cricketer had put his name to, to which his daughter, unaware of her father's fame, had raised her hand and said "Even my father's name is Sachin Tendulkar". Speculation ran wild that his career seemed close to ending following criticism on his form after the '07 World Cup, to which Tendulkar responded: "It was a disappointing moment...a huge disappointing moment. But I came back and I started working...on my game. I trained harder and I wanted to perform better." For the great batsman, it comes to no surprise that the answer to Rao's question on what the world should expect from him next is simply: "There's definitely cricket left in me." http://www.orkut.com/CommMsgs.aspx?cmm=23803&tid=5205679823762812519&na=4 |

In the 2002 Leeds test match (Sachin scored 193), Caddick bowled a ball just outside offstump. Sachin walked across little bit and flicked it through midwicket for a four. Caddick was dumbfounded and raised his eyebrows in awe. Next ball was short of length, Sachin came down halfway the pitch and smacked the ball over long on boundary. The same sequence almost happened in 2003 WC. Before that six, he flicked a ball outside offstump to midwicket for four. I remembered the Leeds incident and was telling my friends the same. The next shot is a history |

| Sachin the great - Aamir khan about sachin in his blog .....
You will find this hard to believe but Sachin was able to predict every ball before it was bowled. “He is going to bowl a bouncer next”, “This one is going to be a slower one”, “Full tilt outside the off stump”, “Next one will be a yorker”, “Short of length”. It was uncanny. HE GOT IT RIGHT EACH TIME!! |

Glad to know the 165 in Chennai '93 is acknowledged. It was a one-sided series dominated by Kumble and Co. Everyone remembers Kambli's knock in the last Test in Mumbai. The Chennai Test - were we clinched the series - was owned by Sachin. He put us in such a strong position that it seemed so easy to crush England - by an innings !! It is also special to me because this was the first Sachin century I watched from start to finish on TV Those days they use to telecast home Tests live on DD National. |

I've never seen any batsman play in one way right through his career - your responsibilities change, your body changes, the way you think changes. Finally the most important measure of an innings is its value to the side. Many of Sachin's knocks, like that double-hundred at Sydney, even if more restrained and not as pleasing to spectators as some of the blazing innings of old, have been contributions as crucial and significant as any he has made before.

Sachin and Ganguly compliment each other so well. They know each other's instincts. The left hand right hand combination is a treat to watch. The number of 50 and 100 run partnerships have been crucial to many Indian wins. Kudos to the cricketing geniuses and the other gentlemen who have made this pair non existent

Bowl at Boycs 'Ponting's not in the Lara, Tendulkar league' June 12, 2008 Akhila Ranganna: Hello and welcome to Bowl at Boycs. I have with me Geoffrey Boycott to answer all your queries. The first question is from Kiran and he wants to know, now that Ricky Ponting has entered the elite club of batsmen with more than 10,000 Test runs, do you consider him alongside Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara? He says he doesn't, as he feels that Ponting struggles to score against spin and quality swing bowling, and he hasn't scored against the kind of attacks that Lara and Tendulkar have. What is your opinion? Geoffrey Boycott: Well, I think Ponting is the best batsman in the world at the moment. He is a top-class player and I think most people would vote him as the best player over the last couple of years - he has scored very heavily in both one-day and Test cricket. But Lara and Tendulkar are iconic figures, which is about more than being just a terrific player. They have captured the imagination of the public. They haven't just scored runs: Lara twice got the record of most Test runs and he still holds the record of the highest score in Test cricket. Those are huge figures. And the way he bats is just very special. Sachin is technically correct against all kinds of bowlers and the way he took Shane Warne apart when he came to India makes him more than just a terrific player. Sorry, I don't think Ponting is in the same league as Lara or Tendulkar. |

Reason 8: score in main grounds: He scored runs in all parts of world..There are three types of wickets u generally found in Cricket..Fast and bouncy Pitches like in Australia,South-Africa,NewZealand,WestIndies,Zimbabwe. Spin tracks in India,Srilanka,Pakistan,Bangladesh and seeming tracks like in England. Here we are taking those ground which has his importance in cricket.also talk about at least single ground of a country.

. And sachin commands a much higher premium(heard its somewhere in the range of 3-4 crores a year) than any other player. So the issue here can be pepsi's affordability in having sachin as thier brand ambassador.

A mouth watering line up of 3 Tests against Srilanka in Srilanka(July and August), 4 Tests against Australia in India(October and November) and again 2 tests against England in India (December). P.S: On a personal note I am big fan of the Indian TEST team compared to the Indian ODI's and tonty tonty teams so can't wait for the test matches more. Expecting the best of the contests between the bat and the ball from all the teams involved.
