A genius who needs a little more from lady luck

An Ode for the ODI God

India lost today, but it doesn’t matter

Sachin is still the greatest batter

Talking about he not being a match winner,

I feel like a sinner

There is something called fate

Which even the batting God could not negate

Watching today, his yet another masterly ton

I pray to God, he plays for the country season on season

I was talking to a friend about quite a few common things between the people from Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh (Northies, all of them are not Madrasis!!). They share the same passion for movies, hero worship, politics etc etc. Today there is one more commonality added. Chennai and Hyderabad witnessed one of Sachin’s greatest innings ever in tests and ODIs respectively but unfortunately in both cases India lost.

It was almost the perfect innings. He not only perfectly planned his innings, but also India’s run chase. Taking the power-play at the last was a master stroke. Everything looked so easy and the plot was so well planned by the little master. The story went awry in the last 15 mins, but take away nothing from the great guy. I am sure he has got lot more in him.

Hope he gets to set the match winning debate to rest, sooner than later!

PS: Can some one teach Ravindra Jadeja the art of not getting excited at the prospect of running a tight single? Maybe VVS or Dada can teach him a thing or two about it, after all they were the masters at it!!
