[tscii:286894bde7]The man, and the magic (http://prempanicker.wordpress.com/2010/04/12/the-man-and-the-magic/#comments)
For a long time now, I’ve steered well clear of the temptation — and fresh temptations arise every single time he walks onto a cricket field — to write about Sachin Tendulkar.
It is – and there is no shame in admitting it – a cop out; it stems from the realization that the ability to string words together to convey a sense of wonder has its limitations.
You can do it once, twice, even a dozen times. But this one man forces you to find new words, new thoughts, to reinvent language – and he has been doing that for over two decades now. I don’t know how Harsha Bhogle, Rohit Brijnath, Sambit and some of the other top cricket writers cope with this challenge. Speaking for myself, I prefer to bail, to use “It’s all been said before” as an excuse to avoid confronting the limitations of the written word.
And then he goes out there and does something you cannot but take notice of – like in the game yesterday against the Rajasthan Royals.
It is not that he paced his innings to perfection [his 50 came off 45 balls, the next 14 balls produced 39 runs). Or that he has emerged as the highest scorer in this edition of the IPL. Or that he has accumulated all those runs without ever needing to play an unaesthetic stroke, to go airborne (with the two sixes he hit in the final over of his innings yesterday, he now has three for a tournament where the current tally is over 500) .
What rocked me back in my seat yesterday was the two braces he ran off Sidharth Trivedi’s final over. On both occasions, there was only a single to be had as his drives off the front foot raced to the fielder in the deep; on both he was so hungry for the strike, so keen to maximize every single ball that remained, that he turned and ran the second even as the throw was airborne; on both occasions the throw was straight and hard to the keeper -- and yet, he easily beat the throw both times.
How does he do this? Where does this seemingly inexhaustible well of energy, this relentless drive, come from?
And – this for me is the really scary thought – just how much has he still got left in the tank?
His longevity has been admired almost as much as his playing record. On his blog feed, Anaggh [Twitter] recently had this post (http://anaggh.posterous.com/for-sachin-lovers):
When Sachin Tendulkar traveled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket…
#Michael Schumacher was yet to race an F1 car
#Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France
#Diego Maradona was still the Captain of a World Champion Argentina team
#Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam
When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company…
#Roger Federer was a name unheard of
#Lionel Messi was in his nappies
#Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters
#The Berlin Wall was still intact
#USSR was one big, big country
#Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to open up the Nehruvian economy.
At a more personal level, Sachin made his international debut November 15, 1989. Two weeks later, I got my first regular job as a journalist.
I love what I do, just as much as I did December 1, 1989 when I first took my assigned place in a newsroom, thrilling to the knowledge that I was now a ‘byline’ and more importantly, that I would henceforth be paid to do what I loved doing anyway – to wit, play with words.
That love, that thrill remains undimmed. But as the years go by, it is increasingly difficult to keep the motivational levels up through the day, through the working weeks and months and years. With each successive year, it becomes harder to summon up the same energy; to, if you will, take those short singles at work and to convert those ones into twos.
So how in hell does this man do it? How, after all these years, does he not only maintain the phenomenally high standard he set at the start, but constantly raise the bar even further? And how in hell does he convey the impression that his enjoyment has only increased with time?

Preview: Conflicting fortunes
12.04.2010
Mumbai: Following three difficult games on the road, the Mumbai Indians return to the Brabourne Stadium for their last home game of IPL Season-3 against Delhi Daredevils on Tuesday afternoon. The tickets for the game have been sold out two weeks in advance, as ‘The Mumbai Paltan’ prepares itself for a last peak at the MI superstars in their home stadium.
Delhi Daredevils come into the contest having capitulated to the Kings XI Punjab on Sunday, knowing that a loss here could put them out of reckoning for a semi-final berth. Mumbai have the luxury of striking a balance between experimenting and retaining their momentum in a high-voltage clash.
Sachin Tendulkar comes into the game with 512 runs from 11 matches, with an average of over fifty and a strike rate of a shade under 140. His dream run includes five match-winning fifties, and the maestro would be keen to score at one or two more outings before heading to Bangalore for the semi-final.
Mumbai, who have won five of the six games at the Brabourne so far, realise that Daredevils could emerge as a potential opponent in either the semi-final or final. Hence, expect Tendulkar’s rampant outfit to continue with a winning combination, barring the leeway of a few experiments. Their two frontline pacers – Lasith Malinga and Zaheer Khan – are most likely to be rested at some stage.
Head-to-Head
Delhi Daredevils are currently leading 3-2 in this rivalry. Mumbai handed Delhi a heavy defeat earlier in the tournament at the Feroz Shah Kotla, thanks to brisk half-centuries from openers Sachin Tendulkar and Shikhar Dhawan. Delhi faltered to 120 all out while chasing a daunting target of 219.
Delhi is the only team besides Chennai Super Kings to have qualified for the semi-finals in the previous two editions, but could be on their way out of the tournament if they put a wrong foot on Tuesday.
Last hurrah for the Brabourne Stadium...
The venue has seen Mumbai chase down three totals in excess of 155, and scale the 180-run mark on more than a few occasions. Most importantly, Mumbai have suffered just the solitary blemish in the six games here thus far. The crowds here have been rated as one of the best in the country, and would look forward to chanting “Maalingaaa... Maaalinga...” for one last time this season.
The only day game here saw Mumbai amass a massive 212-6, and Rajasthan making a fist of the chase, falling short by just four runs. The moisture on the surface should be significantly less during Tuesday’s game and would make for friendlier batting conditions. Expect a run-feast.
Injury Update
Ashish Nehra’s return from injury augers well for Delhi Daredevils, while Mumbai are still waiting for a fully fit all-rounder Abhishek Nayar who is yet to feature in a game this season.
In some positive news for Delhi, Dirk Nannes could be fast tracked into the playing XI on Tuesday.
Key Players
Virender Sehwag is Delhi’s leading run-getter with 324 runs at a strike rate of 170. His performance at the top of the order is all the more crucial as it is a day game and Delhi’s quality spin bowling duo of Amit Mishra and Daniel Vettori are unlikely to be as effective.
Sanath Jayasuriya returned to Mumbai’s top-order after missing nine matches on the trot. Mumbai’s batting came under the hammer during their losses to Chennai and Punjab last week, and that is the primary reason for the return of the ‘Matara Mauler’. He brings in a wealth of experience with his batting. Besides, it would be suicidal for any opposition to underestimate his bowling credentials.
Team Update
The stories of Mumbai Indians’ over-dependence on Tendulkar ended on Sunday, as JP Duminy and Kieron Pollard added 50-plus partnerships with their skipper to bring stability to the middle-order. Also, the trio of Saurabh Tiwary, Shikhar Dhawan and Ambati Rayudu has been consistently performing all through the season. MI would be hoping for all their batsmen to fire on all cylinders. The verdict: there would be experiments made to the XI but do not expect any wholesome changes.
Delhi Daredevils are likely to stick with Warner-Collingwood-Vettori-Maharoof as their international quartet. Nannes could force his way in place of Maharoof, if the left-armer is declared fit on match day.
Mumbai Indians: Sachin Tendulkar (capt), Lasith Malinga, Kieron Pollard, Ambati Rayudu, Chandan Madan, Syed Sahabuddin, Dhawal Kulkarni, Shikhar Dhawan, Graham Napier, Dilhara Fernando, Dwayne Bravo, Zaheer Khan, Ali Murtaza, Saurabh Tiwary, R Sathish, Aditya Tare, Ishan Malhotra, Rahul Shukla, Abhishek Nayar, JP Duminy, Sanath Jayasuriya, Harbhajan Singh.
Delhi Daredevils: Gautam Gambhir (capt), AB de Villiers, Umesh Yadav, Kedar Jadhav, Wayne Parnell, Shashi Ranjan, Ashish Nehra, Mithun Manhas, Andrew McDonald, Farveez Maharoof, Virender Sehwag, Dinesh Karthik, Joginder Singh, Pradeep Sangwan, Amit Mishra, Moises Henriques, Sarandeep Singh, Sarabjit Ladda, Aavishkar Salvi, David Warner, Dirk Nannes, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Rajat Bhatia.

Delhi selecting Collingwood is a boon for the opposition. Although he won a match, his consistency levels will not be as required.
Anyway, the goal for the next match must be to slow down over rate and get banned. Pls post this in mi websites etc so that the team mgt makes sure of this, if they haven't already planned this.
Ideally, this should have been taken care in the rajasthan match itself but malinga was speeding up his run up etc as though they wanted to avoid the ban. If Sachin is not willing to play this dirty tactic, the others must be coached to make sure of this.

My fav too the 89* against Rajasthan. A grand slap on Warne's face. And a majestic show-up of Slow Ball Trivedis and Doles and Rajasthan no-names who are mesmerised and doped by Warne before the match, I suspect, into playing above their weight. Thats a blow he struck on behalf of talent and genius against hard-work and clever tactics. Too bad that our Sehwags and Gambhirs and Yuvrajs and Symondses and Kallises and Rohits and Rainas and Dhonis* and Vijays* and even Gillys cannot do the same to Rajasthan and their over-achieving bowlers. But then they lack the genius right? They have only talent.
* watch out for CSK capitulating against Rajastan, if ever they get to face Rajasthan again in the IPL 2010 again.

Cricket stars Jayasuriya, Ranatunga enter parliament
Veteran cricketer Sanath Jayasuriya and Sri Lanka's 1996 World Cup winning skipper Arjuna Ranatunga have won seats in parliament.
Jayasuriya contested Thursday's polls for President Mahinda Rajapaksa's United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) and left the island a day before voting to play at an Indian tournament.
The 40-year-old batsman and political novice was given special permission to cast his ballot on Wednesday, a day ahead of the nationwide election.
Jayasuriya garnered 74,352 votes to win his seat in the southern district of Matara, an official with the local election commission told AFP.
Jayasuriya retired from Test matches in 2007 to prolong his career in the shorter forms of the game.
He has been included in Sri Lanka's squad for the World Twenty20 tournament in the Caribbean from April 30-May 16.
Meanwhile Sri Lanka’s World Cup winning skipper who Arjuna Ranatunga represented an opposition party, the Democratic National Alliance led by former Commander of the Army General Sarath Fonseka, secured 27,792 votes to enter parliament from the Kalutara district.
Ranatunge on two earlier occasions entered parliament contesting under the UPFA banner from the Colombo district.

Form review:
We've defeated RR, DC and DD twice. We have defeated Punjab, CSK and KKR once. We lost to CSK and Punjab and we haven't defeated BRC in this edition. IMO, BRC is the most volatile of the teams in semi's. They have an ace batting line up with two good bowlers in Steyn and Kumble. If we can defeat BRC it's gonna be great.

[tscii:9ef7f2d4af]You have opened the batting with some of the best in the country, for instance Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and now Sachin Tendulkar. How different is it to open alongside Tendulkar?
The biggest advantage of opening along with Tendulkar is that as a player I get a great sense of security. I hardly feel any pressure because he takes all the pressure on himself and allows youngsters like me to play freely. He always tells me to play the way I want - whether I want to attack or take my time and bat – and it does not matter because he is holding fort at the other end. Obviously, I get to learn a lot from batting along with him, as also instant messages and words of wisdom while in the middle. If you see our performances this season, we have invariably won when Tendulkar has played anchor.
Tendulkar has struck 74 fours and 3 sixes as of April 13. He has reinvented Twenty20 cricket with subtle touches and sublime timing and placement. You have the best seat in the house...
Yes I know! It is a treat to watch him bat from the other end. There are people who feel Twenty20 is all about power and big-hitting but I have never seen Tendulkar play any rash shots, and yet he maintains a great strike rate and gets us off to a flying start. In fact, he never waits for me to start doing the big-hitting. He just keeps piercing the gaps and before I realise we would be 50-0 or something like that. Batting with him has changed my perception about batting. I get to watch his feet movement, his bat speed and follow through, and how he plays the ball so late. It is a treat to watch him bat.
:whistle: :Aarathi: :sara-vedi:

If reports are to be believed, Sachin will not be playing the final league match between MI and KKR. Zaheer will be leading the team.

A win without sachin will boost the confident of other players. Bhajji also should be rested, Mortaza ali, Dhawan, Binny, Napier should be given a chance.

Hmm.. Bangalore vs MI again. I think its better for us to bat first consolidate for the first 10 overs and then let the hitters Pollard, Duminy and Tiwary do the big hitting at the end. MI's have defended very well going by team results and we are playing in our home ground and so that should be an added advantage.
Tendulkar
Dhawan
Rayudu
Duminy
Pollard

Tare(I think they will go with an specialist Keeper or add another all-rounder with Rayudu doing the stumps).

Fernando
Zaheer

20th April 2010, 07:57 PM
I think Tare is not significantly better than Rayudu so might as well get another all rounder - Mclaren has been decent with the ball. Think he should be there.
At no cost should Fernando be there - he is the Sri Lankan Agarkar. How many times I have seen him melt down under pressure and provide buffet bowling? As many times as Sachin has centuries in First class cricket.
Heck, against KKR, with no pressure he leaked the other day.

But I would definitely love to see Sachin lifting that trophy and with that Sachin should bid adieu to this disgusting tournament.

Fernando leaked runs in the all-important 2nd leg match against RR in 2008. RR were 77/5 at one stage and at the last over he bowled wides and dropped a catch.
