(using the willow ofcourse).<BR/>Congrats to Sachin for his 75th international ton.

But with sports of this sort the body cannot sustain the same combustions and shocks as compared to the young lad of 18 years of age . <BR/>Our Indian people are not able to realize that competitve sports cannot be played life long . The retirement age is 28 years of age . You cannot run a 100 M sprint at the age 34+ . The body declines .<BR/>Now if you counter argue with Don Bradman the inninings played during the time of 1930s were less compared to now . The competition is less compared to now . <BR/>The unfortunate part is sachin himself cannot come in terms with reality of his present condition . <BR/>There is a difference in Kapil Dev and Sachin in terms of injuries one had very few and one is having too many . <BR/>The other thing is Sachin is a brahmin so the diet is vegetarian and not too much of protein and non -veg diets . The unfortunate part of Indians are they consider veg diet is too scared but at the same time they try to compromise with sports also . If sachin was an african may be he can sustain upto 36 years because of genetic structure . <BR/>Now how many can think in this terms ... Very few <BR/>So quit when the going is good or else change the pattern of batting is a good suggestion for sachinValentinesDovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11216822895983528184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17730420.post-1146678407431767242006-05-03T10:46:00.000-07:002006-05-03T10:46:00.000-07:00very true,bhuvan..perhaps, unfortunately now, he is the most criticized player too..<BR/><BR/>Regardless of what all the Kartavyas of the world have to think, he is the best!!!<BR/><BR/>vijayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17730420.post-1145552842537242552006-04-20T10:07:00.000-07:002006-04-20T10:07:00.000-07:00Completely agree with you, man.

Aren't we?<BR/><BR/>@Kartavya - Not to start any "debate", but to put an end to all of it, let's overlook the public, and survey what cricket players and pundits have to say about him. None other than DonB himself had spoken about Sachin's excellence. The highest wickettaker in the history of the game, Shane Warne once feared having nightmares of Sachin hitting him all over. Steve Waugh brands Sachin as a <A HREF="http://in.sports.yahoo.com/031031/43/290k4.html" REL="nofollow">"bradmanesque genius"</A>. Brian Lara recently admitted that if he is asked to choose one of them all, he'd pick Sachin. The list might just go on.<BR/><BR/>Sachin is now comparable to that soap bubble which has grown so big, that the only option it has now, is to burst and break free, making way for newer bubbles to emulate him and make India proud.Bhuwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03544556222847242166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17730420.post-1144510537067027602006-04-08T08:35:00.000-07:002006-04-08T08:35:00.000-07:00My comments may of a bit out of place, but i think this may be the good place to start a DEBATE. <BR/><BR/>"I am a huge fan of Sachin. He is, with no doubt, AMONG THE GREATEST players in the world. His dedication, honesty and talent is respectable. But he has got a little too much credit for what he deserves. <BR/>He has been named a LEGEND, but he is only a GREAT PLAYER."KARTAVYAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17730420.post-1144215424518434832006-04-04T22:37:00.000-07:002006-04-04T22:37:00.000-07:00well said.This shows the popularity of sachin all over the world that only one wkt of panisar make the headline of a newspaper , not the hoggard's 5 wkts ..Samkithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04623086582160990220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17730420.post-1144211433128089302006-04-04T21:30:00.000-07:002006-04-04T21:30:00.000-07:00Well written post.
