Today happens to be the birthday of the God of millions of Indians like me. Happy Birthday Sachin .

Maybe we should petition for it to be declared a national holiday

… the God is back where he belongs!

… declared out (wrongly according to Cricinfo) by the umpires, yet again. I think they can add another statistic to his career. Done by the umpires that is!

… was the only question a nonagenarian, who entered the SCG at lunch on a wheelchair, wanted an answer to!

“Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting, they will go unnoticed because even the Lord is watching.”

As they say, in cricket, there are mere mortals, and then there is one Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Enough said.

The newspaper has finally lost it, going wayyyyy overboard in its criticism of the Indian cricket team. As everybody else, I too am deeply aggrieved over the early exit of India from the WC2007. However, sad as it is, it does not call for total beration of the stars we all worshipped at some point of time. From their website:

Reputations aflame: Fans burn a poster of the self-styled (emphasis added) god of Indian cricket, Sachin Tendulakr (sic!), following India’s loss to Bangladesh in the World Cup.

Does the reporter realise that more people in India love and till a certain extent even still worship this person, than those who know about Tehelka? And “self-styled”!! Please give him a break. He may not be the best in the world any more, but he is still good enough to be in the team. And for God’s sake, he never called himself the “god of Indian cricket”. It was us who gave him this status.
