Sachin Tendulkar has done it again. The Master strikes back with finesse and spark. He has added another feather to his cap after he reached his 18000 mark in ODIs. This World Cup will be remembered for many reasons – the matches played, won and lost the best of the best players, the all-rounders and so on and so forth. But it will also be remembered for the contribution and dedication towards the game that Sachin displayed throughout his long abd non-controversial career, proving again and again that Cricket is indeed a ‘gentleman’s game’. This quarterfinal match against the Aussies (Australia) in Ahmedabad will be part of the history of Cricket. The master batsman has scored 48 tons and 94 half-centuries so far in his ODI career. As he is also one century short of his 100th international hundred, one could at this stage hope that India will see many more fabulous innings from this genius.
Passing Thoughts: Dhoni has perhaps learnt his lesson of playing Suresh Raina. Yuvraj Singh produced one more man of the match to face his home crowd at Mohali with the neighbouring country, Pakistan. This is a colossal moment. This is a title moment and let us cherish it for the moment. A sad day for Ricky Ponting - but for his century - and his boys. Three times World Cup Champion, they must be feeling sunk and saddened. Better Luck next time.
Good Luck to the "Men in Blue" for future. They don't need to bleed blue, but keep their calm.
