Definitely won't be in Chennai. Wankhede will be the correct venue... Just couldn't imagine how time runs so fast !!! Ippo dhaan ivar vandha maadhiri irukku.

He would like to be at Wankhede, but honestly, those guys don't deserve that

Thank you Sachin, for all the memories. I'm officially retiring from watching Cricket

I was thinking about how bad we would miss old matches/innings if youtube is not there. At least we are blessed to repeatedly watch our fav cricketrs innings. Namma appa generation lam paavam.

A greatness that transcends the instant
Gideon Haigh: Boxing Day Test match, 2003. Virender Sehwag slashing the ball to all points. But the crowd is waiting for Sachin; it's almost like they're holding something back in expectation. Finally he appears, a tiny white dot amid the coloured throng, and emerges from the gate to a reception of a kind I can imagine greeting Bradman in his pomp. This is the moment. This is the man. I've seen many great visiting players at the MCG, but none, I suspect, whom the crowd has so openly wanted to succeed - his achievement, they sense, will ennoble them also.

Sod's Law. Murphy's Law. The Little Master feathers his first ball down the leg side to the keeper, and the crowd, which has barely finished applauding Tendulkar's entrance, begins to applaud his exit. I am quite proud of my fellow Melburnians. They know that Tendulkar's greatness transcends the fallibility of the instant, and they cheer him to the echo all the way off. At the end of my aisle, two people get up and leave. They've come to see Tendulkar, and not even Sehwag will do. I saw Tendulkar make tons of runs, but this isolated failure, and the public's response, was a telling event in itself.
