NEWSFLASH!
There have been better batsman than tendulkar you know?! The world of cricket does not revolve around his retirement. Look back at some other other great (better) batsman such as lara. They didn't have a special hand picked series made for them to retire in. They could see when it was time to hang the pads up. Not continue and continue just to get to 200. Lara retired with dignity. It pains me to watch tendulkar bat in recent times.
I feel sorry for you, mate. If you couldn't consider his technique the best of the generation, that would be a pity.
The balance, the poetic strokes, well how many people less than 5'5 can pull a 140+kphs ball from wide outside the offstump to out of the park for a huge six with just footwork and timing?
1992 Tour of Australia(He was 18 years and 8 months old!)
Sydney: He was playing around the whole night didn't sleep, then slept off at the dining table and Sourav had to wake him up when Azar got out. He just went on and hit 148*. How? Technique.
Perth: How do you think a batsman of his age and height can hit a century against the likes of you know who on a PERTH pitch on his first match over there?! TECHNIQUE.
Yeah, he wasn't at his best for the last couple of years. But his 200* against Steyn and Co. was no ordinary thing mate. Not the worst of conditions to bat on but yet the technique hadn't faded a bit and it wasn't long ago.
Even 74 today was as fluent as he can be and he is 40! Please take a bow or just walk away.
Isra, from the 13 list stadiums we saw, Cape Town wasn't there, could this mean a surprise inclusion or many more other stadiums to be revealed? With day one patch maybe?
Ross, the number of stadiums are 13 but are the backgrounds a part of the stadium or do you have a pool of different BGs to simulate different locales? Helps sell the trick right?
