the little master...

seriously is there ANY more accomplished batsman in cricket? well of course, there isn't, but really...

so yesterday (in typicaly cricket tragic fashion, I structured my day so i could be home for most of yesterday's match) i got to see Sachin Tendulkar...he broke through a number of records yesterday:
  • first Indian batsman to hit 6 centuries in a calendar year
  • 14,000 test runs (yes you read it correctly, 14,000 test runs...amazing)
  • 100 runs in this test match (he was on 191 not out at stumps)
  • 3,000 runs against Australia (I think that makes him the 3rd highest run scorer against Australia)
amazing really...what an amazingly talented cricketer he is...and i for one, will be devastated when he retires (which doesn't look immiment but given his age, it can't be far off)...

won't be quite as devastated as when Steve Waugh retired, but it will be close...

go Sachin, you little master you...
