Today, 4th march 2008, will go down in the history of Indian cricket as a day of great achievement, heroism and excellence.

India won the tri-series cricket tournament in Australian soil at Brisbane, the first ever win in that country in such a competition. Beyond the team performance and captaincy of Dhoni, what was evident in sharp focus is the great performance of the little master Sachin Tendulkar scoring 91 runs in spite of a groin injury suffered in the first finals match on 2nd march where again he was unbeaten with a sterling 117 runs. He, through his consistently great performance, has shown the way for all the new junior players, some of whom only infants when he started his cricketing career, the way to play the game in the spirit of the game. Sachin is widely accepted by all team members as a mentor, wise counsel, friend, guide and a great motivator. His very presence in the team along with his ever willing and helping attitude has gone a long way in helping Dhoni discharge his onerous duties of the team captain. A great Leader who led the players in his un-official capacity of a patriarch for the team, leading always from the front. Indian Cricket salutes the Leader in Sachin Tendulkar.

  2. An intriguing concept this. I’m 1 of those individuals whom tend to wait for things to mature prior to taking action but in this case I am mindful that inaction leads to only failures so I will heed your comments and start to do a thing about it.
