What They Said About Sachin
The usually prolific blogger, JRod of cricketwithballs had “nothing to say”. Which is saying a lot, to Sachin’s credit.
Straight Points paid homage at BCC!, 3 Idiots style.
Paddlesweep didn’t like it when people said “No one deserved it more than Sachin”
There are loads of people claiming that if anyone deserved it, it was Sachin. I disagree. Not because he did not deserve it, just because saying such a thing oozes empathy towards the person in question. Sachin Tendulkar needs, nor wants any empathy, sympathy or any other relevant pathy.
The old Sachin radiated heat. The new Sachin gives light.
But he still remains the sun.
Ayaz Memon @ Cricinfo Magazine -
If Tendulkar were to retire tomorrow, a long queue of the game’s greatest batsmen would await him near the dressing room: Hammond, Hobbs, Hutton, the three Ws, Richards, Gavaskar, Dravid, Sehwag, Ponting, Lara, Chappell, Miandad, et al. And at the head of this queue would be Bradman, first to shake his hand and say, “Gosh, you little bonzer, I would have loved to play an innings like that!”
Meanwhile, somewhere in London, I raised my glass in Sachin’s honour. And not knowing what else to add when so many have done such a wonderful job… in true BCC! style, I simply said “Thank You Sachin“.

You know I’m really numbed by the magnitude of the event. It is yet to sink in and I don’t know what to say! Words never looked so incapable of expressing feelings!

And that is why I left it to others to do the saying
We might need to invent a whole new language to describe Sachin methinks…
