Firstly like million other I rever Sachin with utmost devotion. I believe that come decades, there wont be a player like him. We witnessed another GOD like display from him yesterday. I just made a loose comment that in India after Mahatma Gandhi, Sachin must be the only person who inspires collective emotion of whole nation. Also he must be soon awarded "Bharat Ratna". Nothing less.
As the match came to an end with the loss I somehow could find the flaw in my loose statement. Gandhi finished the job for which he came into the arena and thats where Sachin has not been up to the mark.Not for the first time its happening that maestro played a valuable innings and India lost. So close yet so far. I was disappointed with Sachin just because he didnt just finish it. I mean you got to finish the job you take over. He just didnt do it. It made me remember Misbah's shot in T-20 final. He could have won it for pak, but he just didnt do. All good work went down the drain and it further added to the tally of those innings which Sachin played in vein.
Also it highlights one of the major difference domestic cricket structure of Australian and Indian cricket. And it shows when the situation is what it was yesterday. Our players just didnt have that temperament to take us to victory when experience was absent to guide them. I mean there was a circus going on the pitch.
Last but not the least. We were playing an Australian team which was far far depleted in resources and which defied the odds once again. And I feel thats what a champion attitude is. I was not that disappointed coz these days cricket is Sachin Tendulkar for me. I will watch if he plays. Else it is shear waste of time to watch and then have disappointment of loss, of game and time.

Dude im as big fan of sachin as u are....for me also the match ends when sachin gets out....but u commenting on him not finishing the job was nt fair to the gr8 man......he was takin risk all his innings....but they paid off earlier....its just bad luck that the shot went for an easy catch.....scoring half of the runs should bring accolades not criticism
i completely agree with satya on this
Excellent the very thought of collective emotions is very inspiring word used for sachin...........
I must congrats you for this idea. Explain it in a broad way and send it to Indian Express and HT Hindu or so...........
Excellent article
Keep it up
U have a spark man...... deeeeeeply inspired by you
awesomely scribbled bro!! dont know how come u write every thing in precise words. ur selection of words is simply brilliant.
Even i felt awkward about the castigation. He is a gr8 man bro. it doesnt matter india won or lost, what matters is the strokes he plays with such elan that paisa wasol ho jaata hai or time waste nahi hota. He is not the only person responsible for india's victory. he did his part, others sucked.
Well its just an opinion and i have no issues with ur thoughts.
I just love reading ur posts.
Keep up the good work buddy. U r doing awesome :)
i would disagree with your comment on gandhiji finishing the job he came for... it wasnt a very pretty partition.. but u might argue.. whatever .. he won independence for india... but then again.. he had the support of some very good leaders... imagine india without vallabhbhai patel.. gandhi just oversaw the operation... there were other people who were doing the cleaning up job for him.. sachin has to do both...
