100s are boring nowadays... it has lost its speciality... dhenamum vandhaa adhu dheebavali'ye kedayadhungaren...

all i need is a 45(29), 74(57), 80(72) etc., and a raised head as long as he is there in the crease.
Enakkum athu thaan vaenum. I want to see the devastating Sachin of mid/late 90's who used to score quickfire 50+ scores. I am not sure if Sachin himself can recreate that, I mean the aggression, but the match agaist Pakistan was a small indication for that. Intha mountain of runs-ae yarum touch panna mudiyaathu, so inimae adikkara oru oru run-um athiradiya irukkanum...avlo thaan namma viruppam.
What's with this Sachin of the old, Sachin of the old? Ethana varshathukku adhaye solluveenga? It is NOT as though he is been batting like Shastri for the last few years? What exactly do you guys mean by we want him to be like the Sachin of the old???? What MORE does he have to do, that he has not done in the last few years?

Charging down the pitch and hitting the bowler.
Hitting over the top in first 15.
Smash spinners with more ferocity.
These were some of the quips I received from some people.

This Sat afternoon I was watching him end the career Ravindra Pushpakumara in Delhi '96
ennai maRandhu clap ellAm paNNEn. Was slightly buzzed :oops: Public public!
And then century in the first test in England later that year -everyone else flops - more 'smooth'. adhuvum pudich.
naduvula naduvila Usainbhai comments 'he is technically perfect, which is such a rarity for batsmen from the subcontinent...'
dEi dEi dEi :lol2:
B(k) imo there has been a stark contrast between Sach of 90s and 00s..more than the way he treats the spinners and employing pull/hook against pacers..with age/tennis elbow now he has become accumulator of runs and plays the percentages well..the backfoot punch on the rise is one shot he doesn't play that much in his new avatar since it comes with the risk of getting caught behind/infront so was pleasantly surprised when he employed that shot against Cheema yesterday :neutral:
:yes: It was great to see him play that shot.Quote:

Runs are coming, technique/style hasn't changed, reflexes are still sharp, strike rate maintained, average maintained but still aggression koranja maathiri oru feeling, athavathu bowlers-a pazhaya maathiri dominate panrathu koranja maathiri oru feeling. Enakku therinju, 90's la Sachin used to dominate bowlers right from the word go and push the inner ring fielders to the edge of the circle immedite. May be injuries or with experience he might have realized that same amount of runs could be scored without taking much risks, so cut down hook/pull/down the track and replace by third man glance, paddle sweep more often. Sastri maathiri aduraar-nu sollala, bowlers mercel aagura Sachin maathiri aaduna nall irukkum-nu thaan solraen.

Kohli letter to sachin: Honour to know you personally
Dear Sachin Paaji
You have a million fans and I am one of them. In fact, I started playing cricket because of you. Simply watching you play motivated me. I don’t know if you remember this but I first met you at Wankhede Stadium in 2007.
I was part of the Indian under-19 side and we were set to leave for New Zealand. Mr Lalchand Rajput was our coach and it was he who’d requested you to come and have a chat with us. I was barely 17 then and I must apologise that I — in fact, all my teammates — did not pay much attention to anything you said!
Well, we were simply in awe of you. The boys stood in a huddle and you were, literally and figuratively, the centre of attention.
You had told us about the conditions in New Zealand; you spoke about the bounce, the swing and how we need to tackle that. Your technical knowhow held me in good stead on that tour.
Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Piyush Chawla and Dhawal Kulkarni were also part of that team and each of them has either played for India or done well in the IPL.
People crave to shake hands with you, get your autographs, have a picture clicked and here I am so abundantly lucky to be sharing a dressing room with you. To get to know you personally has been a huge honour.
I have had a fairly good start to my international career and I want to thank you for helping me in every possible way. Paaji, I have never said this to you, but I actually connect with you very easily. I feel comfortable and reassured when I speak to you about my game and, invariably, you tell me what I am actually thinking! I consider it an honour to be on the same page with you.
It’s always a pleasure talking to you about the game. You know how frustrated I was after the first two Tests in Australia recently. I was batting on 40-odd in the third Test at Perth and you came up to me and said that I’d get a big hundred. I am sorry I disappointed you by getting out for 75, but I hope I pleased you by scoring my maiden Test hundred in the final match at the Adelaide Oval.
You have no idea how much that one statement from you motivated me. It was amazing; I started hitting the ball really well and I knew that if you thought I could get a hundred, then I was going to get it.
On Friday, you achieved something which no other cricketer can or will. Yes, I know the last one year was frustrating, but I admire you for the way you handled yourself during this tough phase.
I was at the other end when you missed out on the landmark in Mumbai. It would have been great had you got it there, but it’s fine. I know you were not desperate because that’s what you have told me: never think too much, just play your game.
We admire you for your patience. You never lost your cool throughout this period. You behaved so normally. You were, are and always be a team man first. I am honoured to be part of a historic day in cricket. You are my childhood hero and I am equally thrilled to be part of this celebration.
You had once told me during our 75-run stand during an ODI in Nagpur that I must follow my instincts. I am doing just that and the results are showing.
Yours lovingly,
Virat Kohli

So Dhoni is mr.cool, and even when test match rome is burning, you'll have our nero fiddling in his mr.cool way. Image dhaan mukkiyam. Konjam passion kaatti team motivate pandradhu mukkiyam illai. Suckers suck, advertisers offer images to suck. Now indian cricket is truly a tv product. Sachin retire soon. Let me quit watching this bogus sport
This blog talks about the same - contrived, tv_produced hero creation. Meet Virat, the first vested-interest produced mass hero of indian cricket. Yes, Sachin too was a mass hero but he wasn't consciously manufactured like this. http://duckingbeamers.wordpress.com

Flau, beware of mischievous elements that are using your discontent to sell you snake-oil :twisted:
Football - rejetted. I tried it in London 10 years back. Ippo vekkapadaren, vedhanai padaren. In any case, git will call me a chelski glory hunter if I shift to that thread. Just like ipl team fans. I don't want to be THAT. Cricket quit paNNA straightA Carrom dhaan. Or quit sport itself. Whatever. The world is deteriorating. I need to die. Soon.
Ideally Sachin fans should reject Football. If that man played footie or tennis, he'd bust his heart valves. So his talents are better suited to Cricket, Gilly, dhayam, choppu, snake & ladders..

Football/Basketball/Tennis - perfect combination of athleticism, technique & aesthetics.
Cricket could be made into One-pitch gatch indoor game.
Was watching World Series Hockey in Neo Sports/Cricket before/after Asia cup coverage, now that could be accepted as a Sport.
