Sir Sachin Tendulkar 4

[Plum]

For Sachin Fans

The Indian Ronnie Woo Woo doesn't have a ticket. He rode a bike from India without a ticket. If Sachin knows he's at a match, though, he'll leave one for him at will call. The bus swings in. Gautam begins waving. Sachin always sits in the front left seat. Everything slows down. The two men -- the superstar and the obsessed fan -- make eye contact. It's stunning. Can you imagine Michael Jordan riding a bus to the NBA Finals, seeing a fan outside the stadium, recognizing him, remembering his name, then telling the team to leave him a pass?


Sachin waves.


Gods do answer letters.

It is good that he got out early. He didn't have to waste his energy against bangladesh. He avoided an injury possibility. The positive thing is that he looked in great touch. Infact, looking at how England has been playing, he need not play a long innings against them as well.

Tendulkar surprises at practice session by batting left-handed

Tendulkar sent the very first delivery he faced over the ropes before stepping out to hoist another six sixes, missing only one out of eight deliveries.

Senior India batsman Sachin Tendulkar on Wednesday surprised everyone when he opted to bat left handed during the team’s practice session at the M Chinnaswamy stadium here.

Indian cricket team, which has been camping here for their crucial Group ‘B’ league match against England on Sunday, had a rigorous batting session at the National Cricket Academy before shifting to the stadium.

Tendulkar grabbed everyone’s attention by choosing to bat left-handed with a few of his teammates and local bowlers bowling at him.

He also did not wear gloves, while all other batsmen, who faced two deliveries each, wore their cricketing gears.

Tendulkar sent the very first delivery he faced over the ropes before stepping out to hoist another six sixes, missing only one out of eight deliveries.

Besides the rigorous batting session, the team also went through a brief 10—minute catching practice session.

Today, for the second consecutive day, Virender Sehwag did not join the team for the training session while off—spinner Harbhajan Singh also skipped practice today.

Pacers Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra had light training session at the NCA gymnasium to strengthen their backs.

Like yesterday, Kirsten spent more time with youngsters such as Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Virat Kohli and Yusuf Pathan.

I heard that Tendulkar is ambidextrous and usually write with left hand.

Yes. You can see in lot of pics where he is signing left handed.

This brings up another point if all batsmen are asked to bat with other hand than they usually do, still tendulkar will be the best batsman in the world by miles right.

It is exactly one year before that Tendulkar made 200 not out against South Africa today. Though that Innings is not a top favorite of mine but the phenomenon that it created was unbelievable. 30-40 pages were almost crossed in a day here in hub. Cricinfo servers crashed. It was even reported that their site received some more than 40 (??)million hits. Remembering that knock today .

Adding to the above, Chennai was free of traffic jams when he was nearing 200. Unbelievable feat

LM,
Have you ever seen the video of the 139 ODI Hundred against Australia in Indore. This is the one of the 100's I am dying to watch. Apparently Tendulkar crossed 10,000 ODI Runs in this match. Have you seen this video before. Robelinda2 has it but he says its way too down on his To-Do List.
