Tendulkar Autobiography Thread

[sledger]

I want to know if there is anything in there about how he feels about playing on for far too long, how his quest for a 100th century turned into an embarrassing charade, how he continued to hog the limelight despite being well past it, and repeatedly taking spots that should have been given to a younger player. Embarrased and ashamed, one hopes.

The pitches were flat as ****

3 tests and 3 results tbf. 2004 and 2005 pitches were fine.

2006 pitches took the piss though

Didn't he get his 100th century a few years before he retired?

Tendulkar was still definitely deserving of a spot till around mid 2012 IMO.

Think it says something along him retiring too early and now regretting it, and that if he was still playing today he'd have smoked Anderson and Broad around for a glorious series victory.

Can't disagree with that tbh, he is 100% right. He should return for the ODI World Cup this year.

Would legit sell my parents house and both my kidneys and come to Australia to watch if the great man returns.

Nah would be awesome. He could return like Hulk Hogan did.

Just before the start of India's first match Sachin's music would hit and the crowd would go wild.

"I AM A REAL INDIAN. FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT'S OF EVERY MAN. I AM A REAL INDIAN. FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT. FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE!"

Na I'm not his intended target for the bait so it's best of both worlds.

 

[Burgey]

Do it anyway. Come hang with me and Burgey.

So long as he isn't expecting you to buy him a feed.

 

[social]

The ball tampering bit is just a complete and utter lie. Tendulkar's a *****. Man up and admit it, midget.

Burgey's long lost Indian cousin

We have established that's your role.

 

[Daemon]

Do it anyway. Come hang with me and Burgey.

Please don't tell me you're attending the matches

 

[Jono]

Please don't tell me you're attending the matches

[Daemon]

[Spikey]

[Jono]

This is why India will never be a good team

Yep. gonna have to wait til I become broke / die for me to stop attending games (i.e. India to start winning)

Chappell responds to Tendulkar's book | cricket.com.au

Tendulkar would never make up a story

 

[Jono]

Oh it is on, it is on like DONKEY KONG!

If Sachin is Hulk Hogan, Greg Chappell is Randy Savage.
