No offence taken Doc.
Frankly, I really dont understand yet what will be the impact of this! I guess it was on the cards.
Agree with your point of view Nafeez.
Friend, hope it doesnt become like that..I think I’ll go and check the news. Will be back later.
Monti Ace Asif Bingalee…thanks a lot for your words. Im a perplexed at the development and agree with Asim that no one deserves to be shot. I am concerned , hope there is no repercussion or violence.
Dear samcric it well could be. Many things were mysterious ,( I am sure you will agree) for a lot of things that happened with her immediate family. Many in her family unfortunately met with violent or unnatural death.
Deep, suprisingly, I understood your hindi. Thanks. Maut ka din Muain hai. ..Mirza Ghalib.

I have posted this question immediately after reading the sunday morning newspaper where i saw in the sports page that ”Sachin is Warne’s greatest”. Yes, this has been published in ‘The Times’ in UK i believe. He ranks Brian Lara at 2 & Curtly Ambrose at 3.

Now the reason why i have posted it is to tell some of you which say a lot of bad things about Sachin (like old player, not a big match player, selfish for records) that this is the truth.

This is called respect. Shane Warne perhaps the greatest bowler ever says that the reason he puts Tendulkar at number 1 is his ability to cope with pressure. He said he handles pressure of billions better than anyone else which is the toughest thing in any game.
That’s exactly why not only in Spin King – Warne’s eyes but in my eyes too he ( Sachin) will always remain the greatest batsman after Sir Don of course.
What are your thoughts on that?
Here is the list of Shane Warne’s 10 greatest players-
1) Sachin Tendulkar
2) Brian Lara
3) Curtly Ambrose
4) Alan Border
5) Glenn McGrath
6) Wasim Akram
7) Muralitharna Ricky Ponting
9) Mark Taylor
10) Ricky Ponting

Intresting thing here- Warne rates Murali below McGrath & Wasim Akram & Ambrose.
Lankan people don’t mind. I am just typing what is there in front of me in the newspaper. No bad feelings here.
Sorry no. 10 is Ian Healy & not Ponting
To Mr.Raja A – Sachin has 50+ man of the match awards & u get a man of the match for contributing in your teams win. Get your stats right. He is one of the biggest match winners ever. Most importantly, he is consistant. If u take a look at his career graph u’ll find that it is an ideal graph which shows consistency. Lara’s graph has a lot of gaps in it followed by huge manhattans. This is inconsistency. No hard feelings.
Exactly why i have posted this question. This was what i wanted to say. That is the difference between you & Shane Warne.
Only a great man himself can understand another great man. What Warny has said about Sachin is all respect. Pure respect. Shane Warne knows what Sachin is all about. not those which say wrong things about him. He is way ahead of other players.
