What is great in calling a spade a spade, say something metaphoric so that people rack their brains before they understand that you are talking about a spade.

Test of character

>> Friday, August 6, 2010

Tomorrow it is test of a 20 year veteran's character. India need 205 to win and 7 wickets lose, against Sri Lanka, with God of cricket batting and battling on their side. God he might be but mortal he is, let us see how he fares tomorrow. It is either a 1-1 or 2-0 for India.
I remember Chepauk when India lost its way after Tendulkar got out on personal score of 136, 15 runs short of victory. This is definitely a better cricketing side than that of those days when our wicket keeper could not bat and our specialist batsmen got out because of extraneous reasons.However, we will have to wait till tomorrow when the little master walks out into the middle with a wand in hand. All depends on him who,when he is in mood, can send a reckless upper cut for six. That him,when he thinks otherwise can cut off a heavily scoring shot from his entire innings and still score a double hundred.
I hope he tames the turning track and romps India home triumphant. If you still wonder whom I am talking about without taking his name it is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.
