Sachin warms up for IPL with swashbuckling 78
in Practice Match...
THE PERILS OF having Sachin Tendulkar playing in good form, is that an objective analysis of the bowling doesn't remain possible. How do you appreciate the bowler for swinging the ball beautifully at pace and getting good bounce after he's just been hammered for consecutive sixes?
This was precisely the dilemma facing the Mumbai Indians coaching staff yesterday, at a pre-season warm-up match, as the Little Master carted his IPL teammates to all corners of the ground. From one end, you had Zaheer Khan and Dilhara Fernando creating all sorts of problems to the batsmen, while at the other, Tendulkar seemed to be in a league of his own.
JAM-PACKED CROWDS
PERHAPS never before has a practice match produced such jam-packed crowds, with spectators of all shapes and sizes jostling for every inch of available space along Bombay Gymkhana. And never again will you see the sight of such crowds baying for Zaheer Khan to be treated with the kind of disdain they would normally reserve for a Shoaib Akhtar or a Glenn McGrath. Mouths that opened to yell for a slog sweep remained open as wide as Sachin's bludgeoning blade, as he deposited the ball into the leafy sidewalks along the maidans.
And Sachin kept obliging these calls for bloodlust. He cut with finesse and pulled with ferocity, his back-foot punches made passer-by cancel whatever appointments they were hurrying to, instead choosing to bask in the warmth of the Master's batting masterclass.
For Nita Ambani, looking on from the makeshift dugout, it was a bittersweet moment. Tendulkar looking ominous is without doubt something to cheer about. But is it really possible to do so while your lead bowlers are made to look pedestrian?
Sachin, fresh from having scaled the Mt Everest of cricket at Gwalior, seems to have the more glamorous Swiss Alps of the IPL next on his agenda. For the 250-odd crowd who thronged Bombay Gym yesterday, that day can't come any sooner.

Would really be great if Tendulkar can turn it on this IPL. The problem there is that he has too many roles to do. He has to be the guy who bats through the innings and also due to lack of fire power last year had to be ultra aggressive. If a couple of guys in the middle order do well, Sachin could well turn it on.
CSK for IPL3 though.

I am here. I expect the same from Deccan Chargers. They were lucky last year in the Fake IPL. This is the real IPL in INDIA.

Quite excited about this now, have never seen any live IPL cricket and now I can watch on ITV or YouTube.
That story about Sachin playing at the Gymkhana is brilliant. Why are Mumbai playing in white trousers though? Isn't there an issue with the white ball there?
