I know all that' date=' just saying he seems to have put on a lot of weight recently - which is understandable as he hasn't been training.[/quote'] Let him enjoy the world cup win... he will be fit and raring to go come the England series

Well everyone knows about Tendulkar - even the folks who don't have much idea about cricket :--D
Not true. Except cricket playing nations and Indians abroad no body knows about Sachin.

I was wondering if it was just me or if he's put on a lot of weight.
He certainly has though it is not a surprise. If you see his pictures for the last 3-4 years at Wimbledon, he always looks like he is carrying extra weight but he gets back to normal once the cricket starts. Probably hasn't held a bat or done training for more than a month.

Well I have been quizzed by quite a few Americans about Tendulkar. Surprized me a lot when that happened for the first time but he's the only cricketer I have ever fielded queries on from folks who don't know much about cricket. Most of these chaps had no clue what cricket was but somehow had heard about Tendulkar! Maybe you should read a piece called "In Tendulkar country" on ESPN - not the Asian edition but the actual US edition and I got lot more inquiries after that article from my sports loving buddies :smiley:

Looking Bloated because of the suit and yeah might have gained 3-4 lbs..his hair looks funny:regular_smile: On a related note,I have watched Federer play live 4-5 times..and later on seen him from close quarters.He really is a gentleman and a class act like Goddy. Even their better halves (Mirka & Anjali) are so understated and classy.

i don't think he is fat. You could tell from how the cloths hang out whether someone is fat or not. Tendulkar is not fat. Just the suit. Also he has lot of muscle weight.

Very happy for Sachin. The best cricketer in the world, with the best tennis player in the world. And this is for my Sachin hating friends- 134407.jpg :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

Absolute gem from my sensible Pakistani friend's not so sensible friend (and he was serious)... Tendulkar is cheating by visiting England before the tour and gaining an unfair advantage by studying the conditions. Why isn't the ECB complaining? Ganguly went to Chappell before the Aus series, how do you know that Tendulkar isn't getting coaching from Hussain or Atherton? :WTF: PS: Virat Kohli is apparently on the Pakistan hate list. Not sure why.

Certainly is. 4Q9RepQmVlSKW4xN0mbtWc.jpg
Well,Although entertaining,he reminds me of Sharjah matches .Not very pleasant memories as you might understand. He did have a fetish for ear-rings though.If I didn't know better,I 'd have called him a Tharki :cantstop:

Yeah, he covered matches in India as well in the late 80s and early 90s but he is at his best when he is doing radio commentary. Absolute legend. He is so good that you often think of switching off the TV/putting it on mute and listening to the radio.
