Gambit Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Tendulkar on top due to practice and dedication: Manjrekar MUMBAI: Cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar said hours of practice and dedication has taken Sachin Tendulkar to the top of the international heap where he has remained for close to two decades. Declaring that Tendulkar has been the near-perfect batsman India has seen in recent years, Manjrekar said the champion batsman's penchant for putting in dedicated practice and hard work for hours together has enabled him "not just reach the top but also remain there for almost two decades". "Practice makes a man perfect. For that you have to dedicate yourself to the cause. Good infrastructure no doubt helps to some extent, but the path to success goes via hard work," Manjrekar said to budding cricketers and their parents in sub-urban Mulund before giving the example of Tendulkar to support his views. The former India middle order batsman also inaugurated the Mulund Indoor Cricket Academy, started by former Mumbai left-arm spinner Ravi Thakkar and pacer Raju Shirke along with Brihanmumbai Kreeda And Lalit Kala Prathishtan.

EnterTheVoid Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Manjrekar ? Of all people ? After the India - Australia ODI's, the one held in India after the t20 wc, Manjrekar was part of discussion panel on cricinfo that discussed the role of India's BIG 3 - i.e. Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly Quite a contrast his views are.

DomainK Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 So where did Manjrekar learn this? Under the same tree where Buddha got his knowledge? Link to comment
Anakin Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Once again trying to bask in another's glory, go ***** yourself mr manjrekar. Link to comment
Ram Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I doubt if even Manjrekar listens to himself. His cricket commentary is exactly the same as his batting - Boring, meek, timid, deferent and completely lacking context. Link to comment
Guest gaurav_indian Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Manjrekar is a joker. Link to comment
