Sachin Tendulkar

Australia honours Tendulkar

Lara, Lloyd and Sobers the others to receive this on previous occasions.

WAFG etc. No idea what makes one eligible for this award and what he's done for Australia to receive this though. Is the Magic Bus organisation funded by him or something?

Hope he does well and bows out graciously whenever he does decide to call it quits.

No doubt the Indian cricket fraternity will complain the medal isn't big enough or something similar.

If medal is too big then they will complain that it is deliberate attempt to make fun of his height.

 

[Burgey]

Likewise if it's too small.

But yes, it's a farce that Sobers and Lloyd received higher honors than him.

 

[Burgey]

Should have given him nothing. Sobers and Lloyd were at least good to watch, entertained and gave of themselves to the public. mind you, Lara acted like a douche out here too, so I suppose there's a precedent.

 

[Daemon]

Hating on people who do good for society should be infractable imo

 

[Burgey]

Agreed. I've been a victim of that on here for years.

Gillard is in India at the moment and nobody noticed she was there so they did the only thing they could to get some attention.

Now thats how you get noticed in India

 

[Burgey]

Thank god she didn't embarrass herself trying to bowl like Howard did in Afghanistan a few years ago.

 

[uvelocity]

reckon the ranga would have pace

 

[benchmark00]

Gillard embarrasses herself enough without having to pick up a cricket ball.

 

[Spikey]

would rock tony abbott's core beliefs if she delivered a better leg break than howard

 

[Daemon]

Julia Gillard, moments before she made a spectacular dive to her right for no reason

 

[andyc]

Pretty cool I suppose. On another (very slightly) related note, how has Richie Benaud not received one of these??
