Sachin Tendulkar - Master Blaster Videos: collection of some of his greatest shots

Just watch this video. I got goosebumps all over when I watched this video.

The one and one master…. master blaster! Sachin may out of form, but certainly not out of class!

As I recall some of his best blasts… Indian was playing Australia in Sharjah back in late 90s. Australia has a bowler by the name of Michael Kasprowicz. Fate maybe that this guy was unfortunately bowling to Sachin when he was at his peak. Indian had to make 243 or something in 44 overs to qualify for the finals at Sharjah. India failed to win the match, but Sachin made sure we were in the finals by better run rate compared to the third team in the tournament. Statistics apart, the shots that he played that day, the hits against Kasprowicz is totally out of this world. Am sure Kasprowicz would have been questioning his own bowling ability that day. But poor guy, little that he would have known that any bowling attack on that day was destined to be murdered by the Master Blaster, Sachin Tendulkar. To me, that was Sachin’s best tournament ever and I have my doubts if he would be able to perform the same feat again himself.

In that calendar year(1998) he scored 9 centuries and scored about 1900 odd runs in total.

Reservation Politics - Forward Story

Got this as a email forward from a friend. One of those `heights of sarcasm` type scripts. Funny and same time makes a strong point.

    “I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting
    this. Let’s start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly.

    The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by an OBC player should be considered as a six and
    a six hit by an OBC player should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be declared as a century.

    We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC
    player.

    Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 kilometer per hour to an OBC player.

    Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.

    Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs
    80 meters. There can be reservation in Government jobs also.

    Let’s recruit SC/ST and OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying the ministers and politicians (that can really help the country…)

    Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country…)

    Let’s be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward… Lets show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country.
    Let’s be proud of being an INDIAN… May the good breed of politicians like ARJUN SINGH long live…
