Just a moment please!!..

Well guys am writing here because i strongly felt that i have to write something yesterday!!.. I have been wanting to write something similar right from the end of the world cup for us and also all the media masala that followed it..
Well this topic is about Sachin Tendulkar and the match he played against South Africa yesterday. I saw a show in some news channel yesterday and they said that our loss was due to being slow in the starting. Come on man!!.. did these people see the match properly.. I am sure they have not. There was so much movement in the wicket that there was nothing that one could do but defend.

Sourav did try to up the tempo of the innings but failed so did gautham gambir.. Coming back to Sachin he played the perfect innings,Kallis did play very well but Sachin was better given the conditions at the point of the innings. There were a few hitches here and there but Sachin showed his class and he played better than any cricketer present.

Sachin played according to the situation he was simply awesome. Sad that he missed his century he must have been there till the end. Pulling such an innings given the situation and the perfect bowling conditions in the first half of the match he must be given more appreciation and recognition than what is being done. Marred in the cloud of speculations on our loss, is the truth that we did give it a match and a tough match , we made them fight. It was really a bad toss to lose ppl. The second innings was made easy by the dryness of the pitch, which sadly was not there when we were put to bat.
There wasn any damn sideways movement on the pitch, that made a bit easy for Kallis. which is y i wud rate Sachins innings anyday higher than Kallis just because of the conditions under which he made his 99 which was much worse for batting than for Kallis.

I really beg all those who read this post to just give a moments thought for Sachin. He is not a player who looks for personal records man.. The situation yesterday demanded him to play such an innings that was a bit slow , he just wanted to defend his wicket for the team.. coz another wicket then wud have been disastrous for us.

Please leave ur comments here but no arguments please. coz Sachin doesn deserve arguments on his abilities from his people anymore.

Pleadingly yours
