In Tendulkar Country

[OutStumped]

This article is a must read for every Tendulkar fan, and please bin this thread if it exists already. http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/509803.html

His agent told me he's aware of what he means to people, of the symbolic importance of being both the beginning and end of something. He is a bridge, and it is vital to the psyche of a nation that he remains intact. He gets it. That's why he never loses focus. Nothing, it turns out, is effortless. In his room, he seems tired, worn out mentally and physically. He needs a break. I ask when was the last time he had 20 days off in a row with nothing to do. No balls to hit or billions to represent. "I'm waiting for that time to come," he says.

:adore:
