the connection between sports and the spirit of a nation like India is very big I mean we had very little to cheer in India until last decade but our crickets have flown the Indian flag for long time They have a huge value to nation because of this. They have kept up NATIONAL SPIRIT !!! Especially Tendulkar, Sehwag, Dravid and co.. We salute and thank you for this !!!!
Sachin was a very good entertainer !!! like a rockstar ! while he had the best technique..he also had the best flair. yes he got bogged down at certain stages in career..but always seemed he might do something great! Like the great Maradona..he was a sports genius! (yes others have scored more reliably but none with so much entertainment quality )
