Jai Guru Deva, one of the sweetest memories of my childhood is sachin's batting. I was punished for this multiple times by multiple people. Yet, if I were to live that day again, I will still watch Sachin bat and would not mind the punishments. That was Sachin and that was me. Of all the knocks of Sachin, desert storm stands as a citadel of his domination over the Aussies. An exhibition of pure class, temperament and commitment to the cause of the team.

A moment of nirvana for an Indian cricket fan.  Going into that series a lot was at stake for Sachin, he had recently resigned from captaincy after a couple of disastrous tours.

The ball was straight on off stump and God whipped it between short cover and point fielder. Both of them had hardly moved before the ball touched the boundary rope. It was a rare rare shot. It takes so many words to explain this but it all happened in a nick of time and it was so profoundly etched in my memory that I cant forget it after so many years. One reason I cherish this so much is, I had an...

Stupendous! Fantastic! Magnificent! Fantabulous! Wow!! ....... I can keep on writing adjectives but I'm not sure whether I am able to convey my feeling completely.. at times words doesnt suffice to give the complete feeling and this is one such happening.. a sense of utter happiness and amazement coupled with disbelief..   Couple of hours ago, the first double century of ODI cricket has been scored by SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR.. what an innings it has been!! 226 minutes..147 balls 25 fours and 3 sixes... absolutely amazing.. he remained there for all the 50 overs and made the miracle happen!! who else deserve it better than him? two decades of international cricket and still rearing to go!! many people who came into lime light after him faded away before him but his hunger for runs is not quenched... this particular innings of 200 is special because this has been made against an opposition which consists of the best bowler in the world.. True! the proteas didnt bowl that badly ei...
