^he is an VVS/Wall aficionado :-)
There is a very typically south indian resentment there at the monetary smartness of the typical marathi middle class person that SRT is. SMG used to evoke such feelings in my south indian self. SRTkku exemption koduthuttEn. KesavarAla kudukka mudiayala pOlirukku
The article was overtly critical imo. The fact is people complain that sachin isnt speaking to the media that much and when he does speak out you criticise him to the tilt. Never seen a person other than sachin who goes through so much media scrutiny....
The annoying thing is many people called it balanced, much needed perspective etc. remba tungsten aayiduchchu.
All accusations as old as the hills.
Starts of politely, starts patronizing and then makes a vituperative attack on Sachin. And it is called balanced !!!
Plum, note the point when writing appraisals :twisted:

sample this take on Sach from his erstwhile Men in White blog

may it comes with a baggage of being SMG fanatic which compares Sach with Kallis :-)Quote:
It is hard to believe that next year in November, Tendulkar will have been a Test batsman for twenty years. Sunil Gavaskar had sixteen years at the top; so did Dilip Vengsarkar. Mohinder Amarnath had eighteen, but his was an interrupted career. In terms of longevity no one else comes close. Of the three only Gavaskar can sustain the comparison. Gavaskar and Tendulkar are Indian cricket's greatest batsmen and one of Gavaskar's claims to greatness was that he retired from cricket on a high: his last innings was that great 96 against Pakistan in Bangalore, on a track that was turning square. He followed that up with a big hundred at Lord’s playing for the Rest of the World in 1987 and called it a day. So our sense of Gavaskar's career is one of great consistency at a very high level.
This isn't how the trajectory of Tendulkar's career was viewed till recently. The first decade of his career was his time of greatness. It encompassed both his time as a prodigy dazzling the world in Perth and elsewhere and his pomp in the late Nineties when he dismantled bowling attacks with such ruthless intent that Bradman was moved to anoint him as his heir. But as his second decade unfolded, it was hard not to feel that while greatness had been achieved, the promise of immortality had been belied.
This is not to argue that Tendulkar in the twenty-first century was an inconsiderable batsman. He scored lots of runs, hit substantial hundreds, and played match-saving, sometimes match-winning innings. But something had changed, the spark that had once made him not just a very good high-scoring batsman (a Jacques Kallis, say), but a magical stroke-player, impregnable and overwhelming at once, seemed to have been extinguished.
K-G, Sach is a man of integrity :lol:
