Yesterday before the match started, a young NZL kid Sachin Austin who was named after Sachin Tendulkar got the opportunity to meet Sachin... The kid said that meeting Sachin is the greatest thing that has happened in his life...
Sachin Austin in NZL... Vaazhga Sachin Tendulkar!!
When Sachin met Sachin
Bobilli Vijay Kumar
Christchurch: For all its tranquility and laidback lifestyle, Christchurch has a pretty active nightlife. Its city centre has a string of restaurants, ranging from the fanciest Greek cuisine to the most reasonable Chinese takeaways.
Malay, Indian, Japanese eating joints scramble for attention and patrons; for those in a hurry, there is the usual American fare to choose from: Mcdonald’s, Subway, KFC and Burger King too. These are usual busy during the daytime, catering to the needs of visitors, youngsters and college-goers.
By the evening, however, the complexion of the city changes, especially if it is weekend. The hip local crowd takes over, turning out in its more ambitious night gear: black dresses, stilettos, low-rises are, like everywhere else, de rigeur. Those who want more than a bite, of course, can slip into any of the pubs or bars; these pump up the volume on Fridays and Saturdays and even stay up till later. Quite a few of them even boast of live bands, whipping out a mix of old and new music.
SACHIN JUNIOR: Call it co-incidence or karma. Little Sachin has waited all of seven years, more than half of them probably not even realizing what he was doing, to meet the original Sachin. His wish finally came true here on Sunday afternoon: after the Indian innings, he got to meet Sachin Tendulkar, the icon after which this Kiwi boy had been named. What’s more, the little master-blaster even scored a masterful century to make the day even more special.
Tendulkar, despite a sapping 163, was all smiles as he stepped out to meet his namesake. “Here’s something for you,” said the little masterblaster, presenting him a sheet of paper with the photographs and autographs of all the Indian players.
Little Sachin is, indeed, a curious story. His Indian connection started with his mother, who had been named Veda Karan “just like that” by her own parents. “However, I fell in love with the country and its philosophy pretty soon. I’ve been a vegetarian for most of my life, and have never ever smoked or even touched alcohol.

'For Dhoni, Sachin is God'
Anand Philar
Cliches are clichés, but at best of times, they convey the message far more tellingly as in the case of Sachin: form is temporary, class is permanent.
Watching the little big man wading into an admittedly mediocre New Zealand attack at the tiny Christchurch ground, it evoked nostalgia. I distinctly remember the first time he opened in an ODI, back in 1994, also in New Zealand, when he “put his hand up” after regular Sidhu opted out due to an injury. Partnering Ajay Jadeja, Sachin blasted a 69-ball 82 with 15 boundaries and two sixes as India won by seven wickets. He was adjudged Man of the Match.
In Images: Sachin's 163 sets up India's 58-run win | India in New Zealand 2009
I saw the highlights of that game the same evening, almost 15 years to the day, and we wondered again at the sheer talent. It was much the same on Sunday when Sachin dismantled the Kiwi bowling en route to his first ODI century in New Zealand.
A lot has happened since March 27, 1994 and today, we even question his presence in the ODI squad given the fact that he is 35 and obviously slowed down, if only a wee bit.
Although being one of the biggest fans of Sachin, I did think that he would be better off batting lower down the order so as to keep the Sehwag-Gambhir partnership going and also in view of the string of low scores in the recent past. But then, Sachin, as he has done over the past two decades, silenced his critics with yet another century! Perhaps, it is time then we all clam up and let the great man alone.
The other day, during an informal chat with former India opener and National selector VB Chandrasekar, I asked him about Sachin’s role in the ODI team. “You think, he should bat at No.3 or 4?” I asked. With the least hesitation, VB said: “Come on, don’t even ask such a question. Sachin’s position is either No.1 or 2. I think, given his stature, we should let him decide.”
Nowhere safe after Lahore attacks: ICC chief
Off and on, I have been in touch with persons who have moved closely with Dhoni and all of them were unanimous in their observation that the Indian captain thinks the world of Sachin. “For MS, Sachin is God,” said a former India player. “If Sachin wants to open, he will. Nobody can question his decision, leave alone stop him.”
That being the case, it is more than likely that Sachin is under lesser pressure than at any time in his illustrious career. He has been given the freedom of choice and I am sure that Sachin appreciates this gesture.
His recent statements to the effect that he is enjoying his cricket now more than ever vindicates this belief and may be, this is the best way to salute a man who has been living our dreams since 1989.
Dhoni apart, the likes of Sehwag and Yuvraj, in particular, the other key members of the squad, have never hesitated to acknowledge Sachin’s contributions to their own batting. Under the circumstances, it is best that we let matters rest rather than speculate Sachin’s utility or his future. As Sachin’s close friend Ravi Shastri said recently (and repeatedly), there is still plenty left in the tank.
More columns
The fact is that we have been so spoilt by his amazing craftsmanship and flow of runs in the past, that we unfairly refuse to believe that Sachin at 35 can bat like Sachin of 25. Such a massive expectation with utter disregard to other critical factors like age, wear and tear of the body and the fatigue, tends to distort our perspective of a player who has given his all to cricket for 20 seasons on the trot without a drop in the motivation levels.
I suppose, it is then more out of frustration that we spew venom at Sachin each time he fails and begin questioning his role as a “match winner” for Team India. In January, I watched him closely during a Ranji game at Chepauk when he scored a century in the course of which he toyed with the bowling before walking off as if in sheer boredom.
But while fielding, he was all the time involved in the proceedings, talking to bowlers and plotting a wicket with his captain, Jaffer. It was a game he could have skipped, but he made it a point to sweat it out to ensure that Mumbai made it to the final and eventually regain the Trophy.
My only reservation about Sachin is his reluctance to air his views on various cricketing issues. After all, given his stature, his words carry far more weight than those of ordinary mortals like most of us. Only of late that he has begun to speak out, but I feel he should be far more forthcoming. I think, he has a huge role to play in cricket even after retirement (whenever that happens); so, all the more reason why he should progress to being the elder player-statesman.
Getting back to the ongoing ODI series, India with a 2-0 lead should go on to clinch the rubber. The Kiwis are under pressure with just two more games to go and Dhoni’s men should ruthlessly move in for the kill, much like the Aussies in South Africa.[/tscii]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...still-the-best
Why Sachin Tendulkar Is Still the Best!!
Just before the Indian team left for New Zealand, I'm sure many fans in India read an article in one of the newspapers titled "Sach a Grey Area". As the title suggests, it was about the Little Master's inclusion in the ODI team. The writer felt it was time Sachin concentrated on tests like how Laxman and Dravid currently (and forcefully) do.
I dont know about others, but as a hardcore Sachin fan, I was seething with anger after reading the article. I hated the way it criticised Sachin in audacious ways one can never imagine, for example, blaming him for getting the wrong decisions against Sri Lanka and describing his knocks in the CB series finals as slow and over-cautious.
Well, after his performance so far, I have completely forgotten about the article but one thing keeps popping in my head. Daniel Vettori had said that New Zealand fear Sehwag the most and are aiming to get him out very early. All fine and dandy, but as that article pointed out, there was a time when teams felt the shivers when Sachin was coming out to bat and Vettori completely knocked over that theory.
Anyway, after seeing the way he played in the second ODI, I had a feeling something big is coming. Something never seen before, and how right I was! Tendulkar played an innings so '97-like. On so many occasions he put his right foot out of the way and smashed the ball through the offside. On so many occasions he shuffled across in order to achieve the perfect sweep, which on many occasions the ball crossed the ropes.
It was a Sachin we have'nt seen in years. He looked like the 16-year-old lad once again thrashing bowlers left, right, and centre and by the 44th over he was on a mammoth 163 of just a bit above 130 balls. If it wasn't for the injury, I think another record was for the taking for the Master Blaster.
But why is Sachin still criticism's bunny?
So many think its time he retires. Why doesn't anyone ask Jayasuriya to retire? We Indians think that if Sachin gets a duck, he is useless. If he scored a century, he is back to being God. There was a time when people were beaten up for insulting him. Now, there are so many people criticising that they can easily overpower the fighters.
But those who understand cricket will know, Sachin will always be the greatest cricketer to be alive. He may even be better than The Don, but that is another argument.
He holds all the important World Records and those who think WRs are not important then one should know, he is the classiest player alive. He has maybe the most beautiful cover drive in his arsenal. His head should by high in the sky, but they are firmly put at five and a half feet from the ground. He is the most humble, honest, and he has achieved more than anyone will in ten lives.
He is Sachin Tendulkar.
True :( :(Quote:

Tendulkar expected to be fit for Hamilton ODI
Monday, 09 March , 2009, 17:32
Last Updated: Monday, 09 March , 2009, 18:38
Christchurch: With his abdomen injury not looking as serious as initially feared, Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar is expected to play the fourth one-dayer against New Zealand in Hamilton on Wednesday.
Nowhere safe after Lahore attacks: ICC chief | More cricket news Although the team management did not divulge the scan result, it is learnt that the extent of damage in his abdomen was not as bad it had been expected to be.
The Mumbaikar, who has scored a record 43 one-day hundreds, is said to be a lot more comfortable than he had been on Sunday night.
The 36-year-old has been among the runs in all the three ODIs played so far, bettering his 20 at Napier with a 61 in the rained out match at Wellington.
The team management has 24 hours more to take a call on his fitness. Interestingly, while Tendulkar and team doctor Nitin Patel were at the hospital, the rest of the team had a day out in the hills adjoining Christchurch.
They went for a mountain drive, rollicking up an down the bumpy slopes in six-wheeled vehicles. Later, they had a swell time, speed jetting at the Waima waters.
Having earned a good outing for outstanding shows on the field, the team moves to Hamilton tomorrow for the battle of Seddon Park.
:D.
Best Innings, in my opinion
1)Twin Sharjah Knocks
2) WC 98 against Pakistan
3) CB series 117 and 91
4) Natwest 2007 90 odd against England.
5) Another 100 against Hansie Cronje's South AFrican men in Mumbai 96. It was such a pleasure seriously .
These are the ones which come to my mind immediately.

Sachin ruled out of hamilton ODI
Letting his guard down!
Sachin May Be As Hungry As Ever On Field, But Still Retains His Boyish Charms Off It
Bobilli Vijay Kumar
Hamilton: Sachin Tendulkar, even after 20 years of top-flight cricket, retains the same hunger and passion for the game. If that is astonishing, you must see the little master-blaster off the field, in a more relaxed ambience.
He is modest, courteous and, as surprising as it may sound, quite chatty too; he lets his guard down, which he rarely does at the crease or even more reluctantly when he is in the public eye, and readily talks about anything. Cheerfully, laughing like a boy all the time.
The other day, at a very private function, he Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh made an appearance as special friends. It was to launch the cricket website of a Marathi journalist from Pune: Sunandan Lele.
All four, dressed in funky Tshirts and casual jeans, immediately made the hosts – an immigrant Indian family, indeed former India TT player Sujay Ghorpade and his CA brother – feel completely at home. “This time there is a completely different feel to the tour. Wherever we go, the fans are already in place. In pretty good numbers too,” he said.
“The last time, we could go anywhere we wanted to and hardly anybody would even recognize us,” he explained. The two Twenty20 matches were packed; the first three One-dayers have drawn sizable crowds too. The final game in Auckland, which has the biggest Indian representation, has already been sold out.
Tendulkar bowed to say namaste to the lady of the house; he shared a couple of friendly words with the kids and patted the home-dog as well, making everybody in the house stare. Sehwag and Zaheer maintained a studied silence while Harbhajan chipped in with his humour.
They discussed movies, TV shows, Harbhajan’s stint in a dance show (they pay good money) and Facebook (a couple of us have our own accounts but there are quite a few fake ones too).
Eventually, the site was officially launched. Tendulkar clicked the mouse while Harbhajan clicked pictures. A little while later, it’s time for dinner.
It’s a lavish vegetarian spread, ranging from roti and parantha to various sabjis and dal, achar and jalebi. In the meantime, Harbhajan has taken charge of the mouse: he is checking out the pictures and studying the entire site with enthusiasm.
Suddenly, he lifted his hands and proclaimed jokingly, “Aah, now this is a brilliant picture.” Everybody turned and burst out laughing. It had Harbhajan arm in arm with Sree Santh, both wrapped in the same tri-colour. Somebody quipped: the best friends in the Indian team. No rancour, no malice.
Tendulkar joined in the banter, makes a couple of his own jokes, and returned to his meal. The next day, he would go on to score a sensational 163.

Tendulkar to miss Hamilton ODI
Cricinfo staff
March 10, 2009
Sachin Tendulkar will miss the fourth one-day international against New Zealand in Hamilton on March 11 because of an abdomen injury. The Indian team management will monitor his fitness and he has not been ruled out of the final ODI on March 14 as yet.
Tendulkar sustained the injury when he was hit on the stomach by Iain O'Brien during the second match in Wellington. However, he played the third game but aggravated the injury during his innings of 163 off 133 balls. He was in visible pain and had to retire hurt at the end of the 45th over. Tendulkar went for scans on Monday and they revealed swelling and bruising.
The news is a blow to India for Tendulkar has been solid at the top of the order with scores of 20, 61 and 163 in the series. With him missing, Gautam Gambhir will open with Virender Sehwag and Rohit Sharma is likely to make a comeback.

Christchurch: Sachin Tendulkar who scored his first century on Kiwis soil had a surprise guest during the innings break.
Sachin Austin, a seven-year-old boy from Christchurch was lucky enough to meet his idol Tendulkar on Sunday. Little Sachin Austin went home confused yet happy.
Sachin's parents Nick Anholt and Veda Austin have no Indian ancestry or connections with India, but for this cricket-crazy Kiwi couple naming their son was a no-brainer. “I always liked the name and knew he (Tendulkar) was going to be one of the greats,” Anholt said even as his son met up with Tendulkar in the innings break.
It was the first time Sachin had been to watch an international match, and he not only got to meet the man he is named after, but witnessed one of his biggest innings.
In the few minutes he spent with his fan, Tendulkar did his best to make Sachin feel comfortable, but the glare of TV cameras and flashes had an inhibiting presence on the youngster as he received a sheet autographed by every member of the Indian team.
“I am happy to get this autograph and I am proud to have his name”. “I want to be a cricket star when I grow up,” was all the third grader from New Brighton School could utter, after some prompting from his visibly proud dad. Characteristically pithy, Tendulkar said, “All the best, do well,” before ruffling his little fan’s hair and walking away.

World Cup coin released
Sachin Tendulkar, the man with the Midas touch, finds his face on a World Cup limited edition commemorative gold medallion. The quarter ounce, 24 carat medallion, issued jointly by the Corporation Bank and Societe Generale to commemorate the 1999 World Cup at England, sports the embossed face of Tendulkar on one side and the slogan "Support India 1999" on the other. The medallion, made of 24-carat gold and priced at Rs 4500, was launched by Kapil Dev, the captain of the 1983 World Cup champions.
The coin depicts the face of Tendulkar on one side and the words, `Keep the faith' and `Support India' on the other. The medallion is designed by Australian Stuart Devlin, who is also the man behind the commemorative coins of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.Tendulkar, who was there at the release function on Friday night, said: ``It's great feeling and I will always keep it (the coin) close to my heart he added. Also present on the occasion were Tendulkar, Robin Singh (sr), Ajit Agarkar and the skipper of the 1983 World Cup winning Indian team, Kapil Dev.
Asked about his feelings on the medallion, Tendulkar said: "I am really very honoured. I would like to keep it close to my heart and try to follow in Paaji's (Kapil Dev's) footsteps and bring back the World Cup. "It does not matter whether cricketers win it or athletes and wrestlers do, as long as they win it for the country. So I am happy it (the medallion) is for everybody," Tendulkar said.
Hoping that Tendulkar would recover from his back injury soon, Kapil said, ``I am not a betting man and I don't bet on cricket but still I offered to pay Sachin Rs 1,000 if he could play for the country continuously for ten years, and he got injured six months after the deadline ended'', said the former skipper.
Tendulkar, who was standing next to him, retorted: ``I have still not received the money.''

Sachin should play in 2011 World Cup: Ganguly
Patna: Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar, despite being dogged by injuries, should play in the 2011 World Cup, feels former India skipper Sourav Ganguly.
"Sachin is quite capable of playing in the 2011 World Cup and he should play in it though the decision has to be entirely his," Ganguly told reporters at a promotional programme here.

Achrekar’s daughter recounts Sachin stories
Chandigarh, December 16 Ramakant Achrekar. The name happens to be synonymous with perhaps the best batsman in Indian cricket, Sachin Tendulkar. The 75-year old recently celebrated his 75th birthday and on Sunday, Achrekar’s daughter Kalpana Murkar happened to be in Chandigarh as a part of the Salaam Bombay foundation.
Murkare, who also represented Mumbai at national level cricket tournaments, is nowadays working as a coach at the Achrekar Academy at Shivaji Park, Mumbai, and happens to be a witness to Tendulkar's early days in cricket. “Sachin joined the academy at a very young age. I still remember he used to come with his father and my dad would take Sachin along to participate in various local tournaments” said Murkare. Recalling Sachin's determination during those days, Murkare said he used to practise a lot in the nets and always was tough to beat in another games too. “Sachin was quite a determined guy. Everyone knows about the coin story, but he used to play other games too with the same spirit, I still remember once I defeated him in a table tennis game and it was hard for Sachin to take the defeat in his stride. He practised a lot after that and defeated me two days later despite the fact that I was eight years elder to him at that time,” recalled Murkare.
