So they collectively failed, Sachin couldn't individually lift his team 'singlehandedly' the whole way.

Messi far better play-maker than Xaviniesta.

That still misses another 4 years of magic, esp. passes this season to Cesc =

A day that I want to forget just like the final of the last WC that we won. Appo aarambichathu.. Innum nikkala.. Almost have stopped following cricket

Hope we would see him scoring at 20 tons a year from now onwards to compensate for the ones that we lost in the last 11 months. This is the first time I didn't watch the highlights of his century. I don't think I will watch it in the future. But I am happy that the pressure is out of him and expecting some fireworks against Pakistan and others from now. Somehow, I find the bangladesh crowd to be a bit more immature just like the sub continent crowd of the 90s. Sehwag illathathu bangladeshukku kulir vuttu pochu...

<dig> I don't follow football but I follow Messi facebook page. He is a genius (No doubt). I am not even a football fan. But he keeps me interested. I don't see the entire match. I just see the way he plays. Different games aanalum, On par with Sachin of the 90s - I would say </dig>

I realized certain things, which I always knew, quite viscerally today.
That I give a damn about the Indian team.
From 70 onwards for a good one hour I was glued to cricinfo. Nothing. Absolutely nothing mattered. Total elation when he got to his hundred.
Even now I don't regard it as a landmark. I find it stupid to add ODI and Test hundreds. But it was quite obviously messing Sachin. And I was so so relieved to see him get it over with.

So more than the milestone itself, it's just the man had plodded through and got there and it was done and dusted thrilled me. enakkE ippadinnA, avarukku eppadi irukkum!

Truth be told, I don't think I was as ecstatic about the WC win. Sachin jevichchu kudukkAdha oru final-ai ennAla innaikkum perusA ninaikka mudiyalai. A win of Dhoni's bat, MoS Yuvraj. Certainly not what I wanted.

But it was great to see Sachin so happy. unakku sandhOsamnA, enakku sandhOsam - appadingra aLavukku dhaan feel paNNa mudinjudhu.

Today, the match ceased to matter to me the moment he got out.

I didn't follow the match so I won't argue about bowlers etc. Second slips into second gear when he nears his hundred ellAm ellArukkum theriyin. So if he indeed slowed down and it cost us the game I don't feel the urge to argue it away. The way I see it, this is the least the team can do for Sachin.

Blatant biased support for an individual at the expense of the team. Yes. indha individualukku paNNaama yaarukku paNradhaam?

And I admit it is easier for me to feel this way because of me lack of concern about the team, future of Indian cricket etc. It is not that I hate BCCI or the new blood - Kohli, Raina ellAm OraLavukku pudikkudhu. But I just don't care if they win or lose.

It's like an artist has exorcised his demons and promises to be back in the business. Two boundaries after reaching hundred. I overread- as is my wont - that it signifies Him freeing his arms. I would give anything for that. Least of them being this match.
