So who is the greatest of them all? What is greatness...isn't it the special something you EXPECT from someone...everytime the opportunity arises for that person...we had a discussion about the greatness of Sachin Tendulkar...now this man has done everything you could ever expect from him...some say that yeah he has done good things....but how can we forget the circumstances that this man alone has been through...from Indian teams where there was no concept of a team...to being thrust into the spotlight as the golden boy...to having the expectations of an entire nation resting on his small shoulders...for what about five, six years there was no semblance of match winners on our beloved indian cricket team...yeah there was the occasional fifty or even a century by batsman...but as I remember it the game was on till my boy sachin was still in the middle as soon as he got out...most of OUR collective expectations dropped....most times to expecting a loss...isn't that greatness...we say that brian lara and sachin are comparable...YEAH their cricketing records might be similar...but brian lara does not live in a country where cricket is the life blood...he plays for the west indies and the pressure that is associated with indian cricket is not even comparable to westindies cricket...where every innings is scrutinized by each and every person in the country and every indian is a born coach who knows what the right shot was to the ball that sachin got out too...this man has proved over and over again that he can be depended upon...I just want to say that we wont have the pleasure to enjoy this wonder boy's cricketing genius for too much longer...I say we thank god for the fact that this genius was born in our country...and thank him one more time for the fact that WE are lucky enough to be born during SACHINS ERA!!!...I say we sit back, relax, and watch this genious carve out his magic one more time!
