heartiest congratulations to sachin tendulkar for playing his 400th oneday international and also for top scoring in an otherwise dismal performance by indians once again proving that we do not deliver when we require it the most.....
being a bombayite and seeing tendulkar in many a matches across bombay, i never had any doubt about this man's ability to bat and to put fear into the opposition's camp. i remember seeing a match at parsee gym when he turned up for his school and blasted the opposition with a stroke filled hundred!! such was his power and timing that he didnt even bother to run singles.
his drafting in the one day side was not that great but after some 70 odd matches somebody made a wise decision to send sachin to open the innings and the rest is all history!!! 15000 runs, 41 tons, 55 MoM, 14 MoS and many more FIRSTS!!!
alas, as of today he does not show the same ruthlessness as he showed in his earlier years but then it can be attributed to the weight of one billion people's expectations across different communities, political affiliations, age groups and other factors!!!
may sachin play for many more years (considering his fitness) giving valuable tips to youngsters who can take india to more glory like T20 world cup win!!
any my advice to him if he comes across this blog: ENJOY YOUR CRICKET MATE....PLAY LIKE YOUR YESTER YEARS!!!!
TAKE A BOW SACHIN!!!!
