The Day God became Tendulkar

Dont know the reasons, but yea it disappoints infinitely to see apna Tendlya like this. ever since cricket became synonymous with match-fixing, the ONLY.... reason that kept me marginally interested in cricket was this one chap. i wonder what's more difficult. Being Atlas or being Sachin.

I believed in this narrative, which i state...

A departed cricket loving soul moving around heaven with Yamdoot, comes across Tendulkar batting. Shocked to see the young hero in heaven..he's is even more aghast that Tendlya is getting clean bowled on every ball.
The guy remarks.." Bloody hell!! Sachin!! Why is he so lousy?

Yamdoot raps him on his head "Shut up u fool..dont let him hear you. Thats GOD batting there and he thinks he is Sachin Tendulkar".

...hope cricket keeps wanting what Sachin is born for.

Whats common to the World Cup winning teams of India Pakistan and Sri lanka?
Its the CAPTAIN and the players. NOT...the coach.

India had a Haryanvi who could barely speak english, but could play cricket better thn the english, and make his team give it all. There was Mohinder Amarnath. (yes Gavaskar, Kirmani etc etc)

Pakistan had Imran..the irresistable ..Khan, as a Cinthol ad of the 80's put it. and there was Wasim Akram.

Arjuna Ranatunga, possibly cricket's most underrated genius and tactician, who had a half baked side.

Winning comes from choosing to win. not wanting to win. Sourav dada..why dint tell them this? u know a thing or two abt winning and how it feels to win.

  1. it hurts now, to hear all those people who doubt his commitment. if u saw the wc match vs. sri lanka last year, the loook on sachins face told a story ! man ! i;d say he is god ! seeing him a few mts away acroos that fence at wankhede made my day ! those two back to back performances against the aussies years ago at sharjaha and the cb series more recently, that match against pak in the rs wc , heck i can go on and on !

    just ppl shuold not doubt his commitment.. a man who has given all his ife and fuelled the dreams of a 100cr. people !!
