Five times world champion vishwanathan anand is in the oblivion ,thanks to indian media and the public . No many know vishy is defending his title at Chennai but all know celebrity Sachin's 200th test in mumbai.
Finally, the Indian curse known as Sachin Tendulkar comes to an end in Mumbai. After the British quit India, this is the biggest quit - Sachin Quitting cricket. He has been a curse in Indian cricket. Finally hi inglorious cricketing career comes to an end. He not only overstayed in the Indian team, but also scored useless runs at slower pace than the team required which pleases average Indian fans and his investors ( advertisers)

Cricketers come and go ? What is so extraordinary about Sachin.Remember 65% of Bradmans century has resulted in victory for Australia.25% of his centuries Aussies were able to draw and 10% of his centuries resulted in defeat. Moreover Sir Don got his 29 Test centuries in just 51 matches.We Indians are going overboard and getting the status of a mad nation

True.. It would be an insult to Gilly himself if he said SRT dint overstay.. But I observed one thing he said abt SRT's great innings. The Melbourne Boxing Day match in 1999. I happened to see that match live on TV and was sopissed off with our batting. SRT-116, Ganguly and Kumble scored some 20-30 runs each, thats it..! It was the debut of Bret Lee & Kanitkar. Lee was at his best and picked up 5-6 wickets.
