This is devoted to the wonderful fans present at the World Cup

What are reservations for? They are for the upliftment of a community. Their aim is to bring everyone on the same level so that there is no bias as far as progress is concerned. Communities which are not capable of rising for intrinsic reasons are given reservations so that they too get to taste success. As far as cricket is concerned, well Australian team has raised to a new high which is not easy to achieve by others. They have made other look like minnows. If Australia’s success is not checked then the time is not far when people will lose interest in cricket. So why not have reservations for the World Cup so as to allow other teams to be interested in cricket?

A post practice conversation between Agarkar and Sachin

Sachin- You know this Greg had no respect for my skills. How can a person, who is not even aware of Indian cricket, accuse me of being mean? How on earth can I be ever not give the team the importance it deserves?

Agarkar- Yes I understand Sachchi. How can they ignore your extra-ordinary performance in the last world cup!

Sachin- I single handedly led the team to the finals in 2003. I have always displayed class which is much above anyone’s in the team. Remember the Sharjah cup in 1998? You might be playing guli cricket back then.

The man with the most runs and the most centuries in international cricket moves on in life.

Neither Tendulkar nor Agarkar talked to the handful of journalists present at the venue. “We are not supposed to talk to the media,” they said. But they obliged the photographers, who followed Tendulkar and Agarkar to their cars. They had to be told by Tendulkar to stop taking pictures as he opened the trunk and carefully placed his kit bag, his pair of blue pads and two bats inside. He slowly reversed his red BMW and drove away with two security personnel accompanying him.
