Let me know more about your generalisations.

It's because Sachin's book signing is in Canary Wharf, you sensitive imbecile.

Sachin on Salad bars:

Probably helped with his bowel movement too

haha Ok sorry man. I thought you were still bitter about the Botham-Snow debate.

But I'm not imbecile, stupid.

"When a school friend blamed Sachin for India losing “Arjun punched the boy and told him not to say anything bad about his father again”.

"

Good lad!

 

[weldone]

haha this is nice

"Sachin reveals how he cried in New Zealand in 1990 when he fell just 12 runs short of his first century for India and in turn missed out on becoming the youngest ever centurion in Test history. He walked back to the pavilion unable to “control my tears” and cried for several minutes in the bathroom. He had been caught at mid on by John Wright, who would later coach India. Sachin later told him he “really shouldn’t have taken that catch”.

"

Good, Sachin has at least something bad to say about IPL too. This surprised me, and made me happy.

"But he does worry about how the riches in the IPL may make playing for India “somewhat less significant”.

"

I haven't read the book yet but is there a reason he didn't go into the match fixing because of not getting dragged into the court cases and stuff?

 

[Burgey]

Lol, wtf man! That's a cheap attack even by your standards. Going by your logic, the corrupt ministers in Delhi and the underworld dons in Mumbai loved India more than Mahatma Gandhi, Amartya Sen or for that matter even AR Rahman.

Look mate, I've got a fair sized ego, but even I wouldn't compare myself to Mahatma Gandhi.

 

[GotSpin]

Pakistan to kick off...Australia to run With the wind. What ****ing game is this

I didn't. I was pointing at the fallacy of Daemon's (non-existing) argument with an example.

7. Indian players had a gun pulled on them in a London tube train
Not an incident involving Sachin directly but he reveals in his book how Navjot Singh Sidhu and Sourav Ganguly got in to a confrontation on a tube train in London (hard to believe it could happen to such mild-mannered men …) which ended with a gun being pulled on them. “Sourav’s first reaction was to drop to the ground and cover his face in fright, but then he started pleading with the boy and dragged Navjot away as quickly as he could.”

Isn't letting something like this slide against CW rules?

 

[Burgey]

With Sidhu there, the assailant was probably acting in self defence.

 

[fredfertang]

He's being interviewed on Channel 4 news as I type and has just said the bowler who troubled him most was Hansie ****ing Cronje - he's pulling their plonker isn't he? or does he say that in his book?

Nothing new. He's said several times before that Cronje troubled him a lot. Can't say he's lying, either. Made it a habit of surviving Donald and Pollock and getting out to ****ing Hansie.

 

[Pratters]

Cronje did get him out a fair few times. Has mentioned before that Cronje troubled him. Remember him getting bowled so many times later in his career? Smart swing coukd get srt.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Both Cronje and Fanie D would keep a short midwicket to him and bowl off cutters on middle. He would flick compulsively and get caught out.

Hmmmm.

Yet his book is silent on match fixing. Coincidence, one supposes.

Lol. The irony
