Over a decade ago, I saw Sunny Gavaskar at Delhi airport, both headed for Bombay, while I was heading home to USA. I took the intiative to send a message to Sunny(sitting in the front cabin of the plane), asking him, what were the salient features of his consistent, record breaking performances against fearsome Windies, Aussie bowlers. "Determination, Focus, That's All" was his response on a scrap of paper sent through a hostess.
Young turks like Shewag need to heed his message.
Sunny's performance during his tenure prompted your's truly to take up Marathoning/Ultra running races 10 years ago, and have run 445 races in all 50 US states, 7 continents, All Canada, and more and have a goal of 1000 races by fall of '12, a First for Indo-American.
Thanks Sunny, please hurry up, and get on with Coaching these young turks, things don't look good for the upcoming Aussie tour.
