This match has made a history, perhaps world record. There is no player like him. Many hearts will be broken when he will leave the cricket match.

The problem with us is to thump down a person who is down and out and no matter what qualities he or she may have, nothing seems to be right with people who are not successful and opposite is true of those who are successful.I hate this trend where people get so easily carried away and are willing to overlook flaws in a person and give him the status of a god because the [erson is successful - this could be in any field, Sachin has worked hard and made a mark like no one else, but he has been rewarded for it may be a thousandfold more...We see so many others, very average people working their bnes out day iin and day out and they dont get rewarded nor does anyone speak about them...

Sachin is surely a great cricketer . But to make such a noise and haloobaloo to bid him farewell is something unbecoming. Don't we have other great cricketers who brought laurels to the country? Did we ever have such grand farewells for any one of them? We Indians really love to do certain things!
