Sachin’s first century.
Batting in a Baggy Green: instant respect.
Boxing Day Test
We Australians are a lazy bunch.
Thank you, sir.
If [Sachin] Tendulkar had found an honest mirror three years ago and asked the question: ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the best batsman of all?’ It would’ve answered: ‘Brian Charles Lara’. If he asked that same mirror right now ‘mirror, mirror on the wall should I retire?’ The answer would be ‘yes’.
On March 30, 2007, Former Australia captain Ian Chappell insulted Sachin Tendulkar in the newspapers, calling on him to retire. Since that day 4 years ago, Sachin has averaged 63.87 runs in Tests with 16 centuries, and 51.90 runs in ODIs with 5 centuries including the all time highest 200 not out. Enjoy the taste of that foot in your mouth Ian. (via quoterack)
Ian Chappell has been calling for Ponting to retire. Dare I say the same thing could happen again?
