Next over. Kumble bowls. Batsman hits high, some fielder(say, Robin Singh or Kaif) comes running 10 miles and just drops it - it is a great try but failed effort. Camera turns to Kumble. Our man swearing and shouting with a Prakash Raj expression.

87 வயது ரசிகை சரஸ்வதி பாட்டியை சந்தித்த சச்சின்: சென்னையில் உருக்கம்!
சென்னை: சென்னைக்கு வந்துள்ள சச்சின் டெண்டுல்கர், தனது 87 வயது ரசிக பாட்டியை நேரில் சந்தித்து ஆசிர்வாதம் பெற்றார்.
சென்னையைச் சேர்ந்தவர் சரஸ்வதி வைத்தியநாதன். 87 வயதிலும் இந்த பாட்டிக்கு கிரிக்கெட் என்றால் கொள்ளை ஆசை.
அதிலும் சச்சின் பேட்டிங் என்றால், சோர்ந்து படுத்திருந்தாலும் துள்ளி எழுந்து வந்து டிவி முன்பு அமர்ந்துகொள்வார்.
பார்த்து ரசித்து பொழுது போக்குவது மட்டுமல்லாமல், சச்சினுடைய கிரிக்கெட் சமாச்சாரங்கள் அத்தனையும் இந்த 'ரசிக பாட்டி'க்கு அத்துபடி.
சச்சின் முதல் விளையாட்டை எங்கு ஆடினார், குறைந்த ஸ்கோர், அதிக ஸ்கோர் என எல்லா புள்ளி விவரங்களையும் மனப்பாடமாக பதிந்து வைத்துள்ளார்.
இந்நிலையில், ஐபிஎல் போட்டிக்காக சென்னை பார்க் ஷெரட்டன் ஹோட்டலில் தங்கியிருந்த சச்சின், இவரைப் பற்றி பத்திரிகையில் வெளியான செய்தி மூலம் அறிந்துள்ளார்.
இதைத்தொடர்ந்து பார்க் ஷெரட்டன் ஹோட்டலுக்கு வரவழைக்கப்பட்டார் 'சரஸ்வதி பாட்டி'. சச்சினை டிவியில் பார்த்து பரவசமடைந்து வந்த பாட்டிக்கு, ரத்தமும், சதையுமாக நேரில் சச்சினை பார்த்ததும் முகமெல்லாம் மலர்ந்து போய்விட்டதாம்.
'உங்களை நேரில் பார்க்க நான் கொடுத்து வச்சிருக்கணும்' என சச்சினிடம் பாட்டி சொல்ல, 'அய்யயோ நான் தான் இப்படி ஒரு ரசிகரை பெற்றதுக்கு கொடுத்து வைச்சிருக்கணும்' என புளகாங்கிதமடைந்தாராம் சச்சின்.
ரசிக பாட்டியை பார்த்த உடனடியாக முதலில் மிக பணிவுடன் காலைத் தொட்டுக் கும்பிட்டு ஆசிர்வாதம் வாங்கிக் கொண்டார் சச்சின்.
பின்னர் சரஸ்வதி பாட்டியின் பிரத்தியேக ஆட்டோகிராஃப் மட்டையில் தனது கையெழுத்தை போட்டுக்கொடுத்தார்.
கண்டிப்பாக 100 சர்வதேச சதங்களை சச்சின் அடிக்க வேண்டும் எனக் கூறிய சரஸ்வதி பாட்டி, சச்சினுக்கு சின்னதாக ஒரு ஒரு பிள்ளையார் சிலையை அன்பளிப்பாக வழங்கினார்.
சச்சினை தனது 4ம் தலைமுறை பேரனாக வாஞ்சையோடு பார்த்துக்கொண்டிருந்த சரஸ்வதி பாட்டி, மிகவும் இயல்பாக, 'அஞ்சலி எப்படியிருக்கா...? அர்ஜூன்... சாரா நல்லாருக்காங்களா..' என சச்சினிடம் விசாரித்தார்.

Appu, here it is.
Yes, it's the same Nairobi match (ICC Knock out). But it was Sachin who started it.I still remember Sachin talking to McG angrily after hitting for sixes. But the video has only the instance where he says F off between two deliveries. Sachin admitted that he sledged intentionally to reel off McGrath. I'm trying to find out that interview. Below is McGrath's account of that match.Quote:

For a change I was not doing the talking! The little champion was hitting me all over the place and giving me a verbal dose as well. I remember being hit for two sixes over my head, but what surprised me more was that Tendulkar, who is normally unflappable, gave me quite a mouthful between the two shots. I could tell he was really pumped up and determined have to have a go at me. That was the first and last time I saw him take on a bowler verbally.

Arumai!
That was the match YuvarAsA made his debut, right ?
The McGrath discussion reminds me of WC 2003 (or was it in the series down under?) when Thala took guard outside the leg stump to make them bowl to the stumps.
Sachin: "Indha, moonu kuchiyum theriyidhulla, enga bowled aakku pappom"
McGrath: "Aii, kuchikku potta nee ennaya adippiye"
Though this is not verbatim, they had said pretty much the same thing in English :lol:

Quote:
It was the knockout world cup in Nairobi with Ganguly the new captain and India was entering a new era, Dada always encouraged his players to talk back to the opponents. Mcgrath was bowling well in the opening overs and Sachin and Sourav were opening and Sachin told Sourav we need to unsettle him and Sachin charged down the track and hit Mcgrath for a scorching boundary down the ground and said something to him. This was unusual for Sachin to say something without being provoked. Next ball Mcgrath was treated again disdainfully and this time again Sachin charged him and the ball went soaring down the ground for six and typically Mcgrath went for a bouncer which was promptly & disdainfully hooked for a massive six that went sailing out of the stadium after which Mcgrath looked at Sachin & Sachin said “@#$@ off and bowl” !!!! I saw his lips on TV and I am sure that were the exact words in his mouth !!!
Mcgrath and Aussies were rattled… though Sachin scored only 37 odd runs but he did the damage psychologically, Mcgrath and Aussies were taken aback by this fiery attitude !!! All along they had only been giving it to the Indians suddenly they were getting it back. This match also marked the entry of Yuvraj who smacked a sparkling 80. But for me this match will always be remembered for Sachin taking Mcgrath by the Scruff of the neck. I have always thought Sachin needed to treat Mcgrath a lot like this. Those 4-5 shots in that match will always remain etched in my memory !
Sachin followed the similar technique against Pak in WC 2003 too. It was called "floating technique" I guess :?Quote:

Sachin Tendulkar Shots - World Cup 1996

See his shots in that semis, in a minefield where everyone else struggled to get the bat to the ball. Awesome :notworthy: :notworthy:
Is there a game from cricket history where you wanted to be the player who turned the match?
Sachin Tendulkar's 136 against Pakistan in Chepauk in 1999, in the second innings. He had a back spasm, but the intensity with which he batted was a great learning experience. It was the first time I watched a Test in a stadium. His balance, his concentration levels on a wicket that was turning square, the way he applied himself against a quality bowling attack, were unforgettable. Every time I watch the innings, I learn something. I still recollect when Saqlain Mushtaq got him out, caught by Wasim Akram - I walked out of the stadium because I could not bear him being dismissed.

'Don't make Tendulkar play Twenty20'
April 15, 2010
Geoff Boycott on why Durham could be county champions again, and what it takes to be a top slip fielder
AR: Nitin from Chennai asks: given his success in the ongoing IPL, do you think Sachin Tendulkar should be included in India's world Twenty20 squad? Nitin says he knows not being part of the Twenty20 team is Tendulkar's personal decision, but given the way he has performed, do you think he should be included in the team?
GB: No. Sachin is such an iconic figure and great player, and he has come to that point in his career where if he feels he doesn't need to play Twenty20 then nobody should try and persuade or make him play. As you grow older, age saps your energy. There is no doubt about Tendulkar's ability; he is a still a fine player. As you get older, years of cricket take their toll. You put your body under pressure and you easily get mentally tired. You don't want to have mental fatigue. The most important thing as you get older is to stay mentally fresh. More than anything it is your mind that dictates what you do. Remember he has been playing at the top level for over 20 years now. I played county cricket till I was 46; most people are finished at 36. I played Test cricket till I was 41.
"We are all nationalistic; we want to watch our own team. For me it is getting to the point where it is not going to be England but a League of Nations, a team of nationalities"
What is most important is that you should get up in the morning and want to play cricket. You should be able to get out of bed and feel that freshness and energy and feel motivated to play like when you were 22 or 23. If you lose that freshness, it doesn't matter how much ability you have, you will not perform well. What he has tried to do by saying that he is not available for Twenty20 internationally is retain his freshness and be available for 50-over and Test matches, so he can keep on playing. If he decides otherwise that he is fresh enough to play Twenty20, that's a different matter, but I don't think anyone should try persuading him to play.

Sachin is at peace with his batting, says Ravi Shastri
- Former India captain on the maestro’s 3 best ODI innings
LOKENDRA PRATAP SAHI
A TELEGRAPH EXCLUSIVE
Calcutta: Few outside Sachin Tendulkar’s family know him better than Ravi Shastri, a former India captain and cricket manager. In town for the IPL matches, he spoke to The Telegraph, listing Sachin’s top three ODI innings — limited overs’ action-time, after all.
The following are excerpts
Q You’ve known Sachin for over 20 years... You’ve played with him, too... He has featured in just one T20 for India, but hundreds of ODIs... Which have been his best 50-over innings?
A The unbeaten 200 (vs South Africa, in Gwalior)... That would be at the top... It was a masterclass, such a clinical execution of plans... Indeed, it was like a surgery. The way he pierced the field, found the gaps... It was brilliant... Then, I’d pick his 134 in the 1998 Sharjah final (against Australia)... After that, I’d go for his 98 in the 2003 World Cup (vs Pakistan, in Centurion).
Some words on Sachin’s innings in Sharjah and in Centurion...
Again, both had class written all over... In Sharjah, there was a little more audacity and daring as compared to the 200 this February. He’d then toyed with the attack in brutal manner... Sachin was younger and stronger then, you know... That 98 was in a pressure match... The quality of stroke-play and the overall quality of batsmanship was in an entirely different league.
How is it all so different for Sachin?
(Laughs) Twenty years in the game and the guy is still greedy! That being so, it’s not a good omen for bowlers around the world... I see Sachin being there for another three years, at least... His appetite has not diminished and I just feel he’s been batting better in the last two-three years... That’s remarkable... He seems to be at peace with himself, is very relaxed... A lot, of course, has to do with the team he’s playing in... Today, he doesn’t have to feel that he’s the only one who has to score... There are other players who get into the act and complement each other... Bottom line, then, is that he’s at peace with his batting and that’s being reflected in his performances.
The dressing room atmosphere created by Team India coach Gary Kirsten appears to have helped in a big way...
Exactly, everyone’s at peace... Sachin wouldn’t be in this state of mind if the surroundings weren’t good... Clearly, there’s nothing which is irritating him... He’s comfortable focusing on his game and looking at the team’s interests.
Should Sachin now actually target Brian Lara’s Test record (400 not out), the only major one not against his name?
Look, he shouldn’t be bothered about any record and just play his game... He should do so for another three years or so and, if he’s not injured, he’ll continue to give us plenty of enjoyment... In the immediate future, I see him getting past 100 international hundreds... See that happening rather quickly.
[Sachin has reached 93 — 47 in Tests, 46 in ODIs.]
Finally, what can youngsters learn from Sachin?
They should study his entire career... Watch his tapes... Watch the making of history... There’s no end to what youngsters can learn from Sachin.

got it as a fwd
To,
Dear Sachin Tendulkar,
The dusk basks in when the dawn fawns out;
The days are listless and the nights are sleepless;
The days are fearful and the nights are tearful;
A ray of hope, a way to rope;
I am in need, I am in need;
I saw you fighting for winning cause for the nation;
I saw glow in your eyes after your win;
I saw flow of celebration in my eyes after your win;
I saw you fighting for losing cause for the nation;
I saw tears in your eyes after your loss;
I saw tears in my eyes after your loss;
I saw you losing health while fighting for the nation;
I saw you with my painful eyes;
Your inspiration is in due, my aspirations are in queue;
I depend on you, I append by you;
Take me out of the dark, set me out in the bask;
Fulfill my need, fulfill my wish;
I have not seen heavenly god fulfilling my every second wish, but;
I have seen you fulfilling my every second wish;
I aspire again for your golden glorious;
You inspire again by your golden glorious;
I am in need, I am in need.
