Of Solos, Orgasms and Fatwas
What they said :
On Tendulkar
"Nobody does solos better than Sachin Tendulkar, nor, perhaps, has anyone endured as much heartbreak during those solos. It was India of the 90s all over again: Tendulkar almost chased 351 on his own but, with the target in sight, he got out and the rest choked, falling short by three runs with two balls still to go. In Chennai in 1998-99, Tendulkar, having played an innings as incredible as this, left the last three wickets 17 to get; tonight he left them 19 off 17.... "
- Cricinfo
"I will see God, only when I die ... Till then i'll see Sachin" - Dilli
"Tendulkar of the 90s, India of the 90s" - Shaggy
"I am atheist but I believe in Sachin" - Bot
"Dude.. I orgasmed twice during Sachin's innings" - Punchar
"Sachin chose the right sport but the wrong country" - Malena
"The greatest ODI innings ever. PERIOD" - Function
"Tendulkar gave yet another debutant a moment of his lifetime. "
- www.cricketnirvana.com
"Every run scored by Sachin belongs as much to the 1.2 billion Indians as much as it does to himself" -Gavaskar
On Ravindra Jadeja
Excerpts from a chat between me and Sandeep
In Dhonis words - "He is still young, don’t take that away from him"
How many mistakes is a youngster allowed?
Even IIT-JEE gives you just 2 chances :D
He is still 5 years elder to Sachin when he made his debut
Ya man even otherwise, even if he clicks, we don’t understand his role in the team. Is he a bowler who can manage a few edges?
Exactly, he is a part time bowler who can bat a bit.
"c****** sala
baddimag
senseless
lag hi raha tha run out hoga kab se c*****ape pel raha tha" - Shaggy
As Punchar rightly put it,
"In our society we used to play cricket like everyone. We used to keep a brick as the bowling end stumps and the probability of hitting it was like 1/Avogadro number. Consequently, we used run to the middle of the pitch each time the ball connected the bat and still managed to return safely. Especially if the other team consists of players like Lala, Munna, Raju and Kallu. May be its time for Jadeja to realize that international cricket has nothing similar to galli cricket. There are 3 stumps (covering a total area of 0.1 sqaure metres) at the bowling end to aim at while the opposition has players like Ponting whose probability of missing the stumps is as much as the probability of seeing Halley's comet. Stop running around you fucking idiot. " - Punchar (be blogs here)
"If you can release Fatwa against Salman Rushdie for writing a book against the Prophet, why not a Fatwa against Jadeja for robbing GOD(read Tendulkar)of his fundamental right(read hard earned victory)."

Indelible Moments
While scanning through the blogs of my friend, I found a lot tag posts relating to favourite movies, personal likings and other similar stuff. Unfortunately, there were no posts related to cricket.
So I decided to create one.
The first 6 cricketing moments that come to your mind !
As for me..
1. Vinod Kambli crying at the end of the '96 World Cup Semi-Final.
2. Shoaib Akhtar dismissing Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid of consecutive deliveries with toe crushing yorkers in the Asian Test championship.
3. Sachin Tendulkar cutting Shoaib over third man for 6 in the 2003 World Cup followed two balls later by a picture perfect straight drive.
4. Mark Waugh's century in the '96 World Cup quarter-final against New Zealand. It was as flawless and as elegant as it gets. Someone rightly pointed out after the innings - "If he had walked out in formals to bat, he would be the perfect ambassador for anti-crease apparels".
5. Sachin Tendulkar's rampaging assault on Glenn McGrath (he danced down the track and hit McGrath right over his head. In response McGrath tried to bounce him out. The ball was dispatched over the square leg boundary with absolute disdain) in his brief innings of 38 in the 2000 ICC Knockout Cup. (The match is better known for Yuvraj Singh's debut innings)
6. Sachin Tendulkar given out 'Shoulder Before the Wicket' by umpire Daryl Harper at Adelaide in 2000.
Because of the lack of enthusiasm for cricket in most of my friends, I tag only Punchar and Bidu for the time being.
