Holysmoke Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Till this day, if SRT's batting, I'm supposed to go call my grandmom to the living room so she'll watch SRT bat. She's 87, and loves cricket. She's been going to Brabourne, then Wankhede, since the 40's. When I was a kid, my mom would make me eat lunch/dinner before SRT gets out, because she knew that if he went cheaply, I would lose my appetite and sulk all day. :--D Link to comment

flamy Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Off Topic: Tendulkar's cool and all... but he just doesnt wiggle me quite like Dhoni :--D All I can say is my hair stands every time Sach gets a hundred. When other players get a hundred, I feel good and jumo and stuff. But when, Sach gets it, I am mesmerized. Link to comment

Those two qualities more than celebrity status mean a lot. Infact, all the celebrity stuff is more distraction, and credit to him for ignoring those for the most part. Link to comment

DomainK Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 There was a girl in my college who was so much in love with Sachin. She was like a tomboy and was ready to fight anyone who spoke against Sachin. Link to comment
PaiN_KiLLeR Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Cricket has been part of my DNA since the day my Dad took me along for the India Australia ODI at the Wankhdede stadium during the 1996 World Cup. I was 11 years old & had never been to a stadium or witnessed such a huge gathering of people. Australia had set India a target of 258 courtesy a Mark Waugh century. Then walked in Sachin Tendulkar. The shots he played and the applause he got for every run scored will be etched in my memory forever. He was stumped my Mark Waugh off a wide delivery after scoring 91 of 84 balls. Then began the customary Indian batting collapse. By the time our tailenders had finished their catwalk back to the pavilion, we were still short by 17 runs. Strangely though, while returning home from the match, it was not India's defeat I was thinking about ... I was just wondering how one man could be so much more talented than the rest. From then on, my heart has stopped everytime he walked out to bat. I've been trying unsuccessfully to get hold of the video of that match just to re-live the moments when I was baptized as an Indian cricket fan. Link to comment
