Back? What do you think?
We didn't think much of the article but the comments are interesting.
We like Sachin. He is one of the all-time greats. Shane Warne once said:
"Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara have been the best two batsmen of my era, Lara places the ball unbelievably well, while I admire Sachin for what he has to go through every day. 50 million people wanting you to succeed. One of the hardest things about being a successful player is the weight of expectation...”Who are we to disagree with Warne? Warney is an Idiot but not when it comes to Cricket.
Steve Waugh, in his autobiography mentions that the Australians never sledged Sachin because when they started sledging him, he started playing better and started demolishing the bowlers. We are talking about the likes of McGrath, Gillespie (back when he was good), Lee, and Warne here.
Why are we mentioning these "tidbits"? Because:
1. They point to the awesomeness that is Sachin Tendulkar.
2. To show that we know how to cut and paste.
We believe that Sachin's batting has evolved over the years. Yes, he is not as explosive as he used to be but then again he doesn't need to be that explosive now. Sehwag (poor man's Sachin) and Dhoni have taken that role. Sachin's role in the team now is to be there in the middle overs doing whatever needs to be done and to keep things ticking.
We will soon find out if he succeeds in this role.
