Sachin at the Top

It's a record no one will be able to match. Sachin is not sitting on four world records, highest 100's in ODI's and Test as well as the runs in both these forms of cricket. As Harsha Bhogle pointed out, the irreverent generation next wants to hasten his end and not enjoy the batting of possibly the greatest of all cricketers who ever has played the game.

Sachin's views on the grip flip

Amongst all the views around KP's grip switch, Sachin's seemed to be the most logical. I think a few people had spoken about the LBW decisions and laws, Sachin had a good point around the leg side rule (you can't have two behind the square leg).

One rarely finds Sachin speaking on any issue. So his comments have been a welcome change.

The true Icon

Shaun Pollock has a telling comment during yesterday's game from the dug out. He mentioned that all other icons had been given a hard time when they played at other venues and Sachin was the only exception. Sachin is truely the Icon !
