Sir Sachin Tendulkar 4

Clearly a P_R excercise. There is a vested interest working to make Kohli captain and since public opinion matters, efforts are on to create a good image of Kohli especially after the middle finger antics and the negative image after that. Now the p_Rs are expected to say "avan thirundhittaannu avane sonnaan". British spin experts thothaanga ponga. I guess only wizzy will understand what I am talking about. 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

Meanwhile Messi is doing a Jordan/Bradman in a proper Sport.

Flau, overA pOrAnnu dhAnnu nAn sonnEnE.
UngaLukku politics mukkiyam enakku aesthetics. And I insist Kohli is good to watch. End of story.

Flau, beware of mischievous elements that are using your discontent to sell you snake-oil

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.
