Gilchrist clarifies his remarks with Sachin |
 |

Under attack for questioning Sachin Tendulkar's honesty in the racial row during India's acrimonious tour of Australia, Adam Gilchrist on Friday spoke to the champion batsman and clarified his remarks which has prompted angry reactions from the cricket establishment in India. Though Sachin Tendulkar himself refused to comment on the issue at a function in Pune, television channels reported that Gilchrist called him to say that the media had misquoted him. |

Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the world. Which is why I find it amusing when critics suggest that he plays well only at home. Do they realise that they are talking about a guy who has scored centuries in almost all the Test-playing countries? |

Its Whizcraft - TOM ALTER |
 |
| |
'It was a match of no apparent importance, beyond getting to know the conditions. And yet, Sachin played a knock of amazing skill and determination. Why? Because he, and India, had failed in the first innings. And Sachin Tendulkar knew how important it was for him to not only succeed in the second innings, but dominate with his art and craft.' |

Test Cricket around the Globe, and Tendulkar’s Withdrawal: a Week In Review: By Anon Payn |
 |
| |
As I write this, the winners of the inaugural Indian Premier League are yet to be announced. The tournament has been great, exhilarating, and eye opening, to say the least. But it has left me feeling a bit over fed! By the end of it all, I can even say that the last few games have bordered on boring! But then again, I did loose a lot of interest once the Mumbai Indians were knocked out! All said and done, this has left me craving for the longer versions of the game. Thankfully, the test series in England and West Indies have been welcome distractions from the T20. Australia, as usual, is busy mauling the highly inconsistent Windies. The flat wickets are only adding to the home team's problems. The Calypsos should be looking to back their fast bowlers with some livelier tracks! Their bowling is by far their strength, with Powell, Edwards and Taylor, all tall and well built fast bowlers, and Dwayne Bravo, a skiddy customer with the ability to move the ball either way, providing enough reasons for a green and bouncy track! Their batting at the moment looks almost as brittle as that of Bangladesh. Their only saving grace is probably Chanderpaul, and they really need Sarwan to click more consistently if they are to stand a chance against any team placed higher than them in the ICC standings. The absence of Chris Gayle at the top is being cited as a reason for their poor batting performances, but the fact of the matter is, I doubt Gayle would have made much of a difference! With an average of 38 in tests, his record against the world champs is even worse. Unlike Bangladesh, though, this team has hope, and a legacy to uphold. Reasons enough to dream of a revival? We will find out soon... |

Sachin Day celebrations part 2(a whole new meaning)- By Chennai Sachinists |

After the day-1 celebrations of "SACHIN DAY" at Chepauk on the 23rd which ran late into the night and which ended on a high note-- that we made a lot more people realize about the phenomenon, than we actually thought we would, we marched into day-2 with a bigger motive in our mind! The plan for the main celebrations on the 24th was to be a part of a noble cause, something that would not just confine to having a good time all by ourselves but also spread the joy around and help make the people around happy. Service to mankind is service to God. And what better way than to visit an orphanage and spend some time with kids and that was precisely what had happened. |

In a country where cricket is a religion, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is seen as the Lord Almighty. The pulse of Indian cricket. Its force de majeure. From his debut series in Pakistan, where he refused to leave the field despite being bloodied by a bouncer from one of the Pakistani quickies (he went on to score 50 odd runs), he has displayed an unparalleled sense of determination and devotion. He is in my view, the world's best cricketer. I'm talking purely in terms of cricketing skills here. |

The winter of 89. Most of India sat transfixed before their TV sets as an exhibition match unfolded between India and Pakistan. It was hard to even imagine an exhibition match between the two nations those days that was conducted sans an excessive dose of jingoistic fervor. In any case, in all that, as India was hurtling towards yet another inevitable defeat, a young kid with an unruly mop of hair strode to the pitch to take guard. To most people, millions of viewers included, he seemed like a boy who had carelessly meandered into a man's world, would be promptly castigated for doing so and shown his place. The legendary leg |

He had scored a few other hundreds besides. |

Despite the talk usually hovering around the Fab Four, Tendulkar, even after all these years, remains India's premier batsman.

Even in Australia he rattled off gem after gem to allow India a winning chance in three of the four Tests and carried his form through to the one-dayers. |

At that stage, my brother thought that summer camp could be the making of me - it would give me no time for pranks or mischief. Somehow, the idea worked and those eight hours I spent on the field everyday changed my attitude towards life. I became very serious about the game -it was a single-minded focus where nothing else mattered. |

Moment of truth - By Harish |

I stand, I look around. A numbness seems to have overpowered my system. I see moving lips but the eerie silence resounds inside my skull. The flood lights shine bright but no brighter than the blinding rays that concentrate on me from the other end of the 22-yard grave. Why should I suffer through all this? Why in the world has HE chosen me? The pounding in my heart tells the story. Is it the fear of death? Or is it the death itself that He delivers in a span of a second with his unforgiving wand? I hardly have a clue. Life stops running parallel to time and how I wish ALMIGHTY took notice of a poor soul. |

One of my first memories of Adam Gilchrist is of his counterattacking century against Pakistan in Hobart in 1999, which in partnership with Justin Langer helped Australia chase down 369 from 124 for 5. Another innings I fondly remember is the double-century he scored against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2001-02. When he came in, the second new ball had been taken. I remember the commentators saying that he didn't much like to face the new ball - but in two hours he had a double-century. |

After topping the run-charts in the Tests, Sachin Tendulkar seemed to have lost his rhythm - until Sunday, when he played the perfect innings in the perfect chase when it mattered most. |

What it means to be Sachin Tendulkar-Submitted By Deepak Khurana |
 |
| |
SACHIN RAMESH Tendulkar, one of the greatest batsmen of all time, has carried the hopes of a cricket-crazy nation like India on his reliable shoulders ever since his debut in 1989 against arch rival Pakistan. He was considered precocious, who in the course of his scintillating career metamorphosed into a cricketing phenomenon. The greatness of his genius can be discerned in the statement of Sir Donald Bradman who once said in an interview, "Sachin reminds me of myself". Undoubtedly, he is one of the best batsmen of all time and possibly the greatest of his era alongside Brian Lara. |

DESERT STORM |
 |
| |
Just two days before his 25th birthday, Sachin Tendulkar played what would have seemed like the knock of a lifetime - had he not been in a golden phase where he was churning out innings after innings of such quality. With one league game left between Australia and India in the Coca-Cola Cup, India had needed a stiff target to just get into the finals - and a stunning innings from the Little Master saw India comfortably reach that mark, and pip New Zealand to the finals on net run rate. |

The Dream Merchants -By Anon Payn |

An air of fascination surrounds everything that certain people do. It's like the job was meant to be done by them, and not the other way around, as is the case with most of us. It's that kind of an air that separates the really gifted from the normally talented ones, I suppose. When someone line Anderson passes the ball to some one like Ronaldo, you suddenly find yourself sitting on the edge of the seat. |

When Perfection is in Motion -Submitted By: Deepak Khurana |
 |
| |
A genius is a glorious concoction of perfection and imperfection - the imperfections, most often, the outcome of striving for perfection. It is not often, when common man gets a glimpse of a genius and it is even less frequently that common man recognizes a genius when he sees one. The genius in a painter or a poet or a writer goes unappreciated by the masses. Unfortunately for the great artist,in the eyes of the world, the proclamation of his genius happens only when the audience understands the art. It requires half-a-genius to even comprehend the work of a genius. |

Little Man standing Tall - By AlienQuakers |

The winter of 89. Most of India sat transfixed before their TV sets as an exhibition match unfolded between India and Pakistan. It was hard to even imagine an exhibition match between the two nations those days that was conducted sans an excessive dose of jingoistic fervour. In any case, in all that, as India was hurtling towards yet another inevitable defeat, a young kid with an unruly mop of hair strode to the pitch to take guard. |

Bow with your Head Up but not now --- Karthik.Sach God |
 |
| |
Those who want Sachin Tendulkar to quit playing appear to be having so many points to present their case. They perhaps feel they have now have more weapons in their possession to shoot Sachin out of the game. Not even the best of bowlers playing the game at the moment seem to be having so many tricks up their sleeves to send Sachin packing back to the pavilion whenever he takes guard against them. |

Match refree a racist , not Bhajji |
 |
| |
Harbhajan Singh , may have a big mouth, but there has to be a reason why the match refree believed that he was involved in racial comments.Notably there was absolutely no evidence against Bhajji apart from what Clarke and Symonds said . Now if in the opinion of match refree Clarke and Symonds are more credible than Tendulkar and Kumble then it only reflects his racist mentallity. |

The consistency against one side is questionable . |
