Goran and the boy from Bowral!

In these days of Mahesh planning on leaving the Indian Davis Cup team and Paes not getting any younger (and I have loved Paes for his contribution to Indian tennis and his spirit), I came across this article where the loveable self-destructive eccentric from Split, Goran is challenging another younger player to play on the Croatian team.

And then more on amchi Sachin. Ok, ok, its actually about the boy from Bowral, but one barely needs a reason to start talking about the man who singlehandedly changed the way one looked at Indian cricket matches. Earlier one used to wince like a kid trying to apply tincture to a wound (You know half close your eyes and don't look at it, but it has to be done!). Then Sachin came along and it was more like, "Kick their butt, Tendlya, ..."

Sadly, in the last couple of years, the little genius has not really been fit enough and in the form one would have liked. Ganapati bappa, isko theek karde! I really want to see Sachin leave like Keyser Soze!
