As I was trying retire for the day albeit little too early, something in me told me not to. And, I would always listen to my intuition, being a Piscean- as they say, I just held onto my bean bag fingers crossed. Well, why only fingers – I even had my legs crossed. Being superstitious that I am ( always and ONLY when Sachin is batting, I had to tell myself –‘don’t just get up until the job is done’. As it unfolded after some nervous moments it was to be a gentle push-cum-drive to cover-point off the fiery Steyn. I don’t think there could have been a better occasion, at this moment, for baba ( well I fondly call him Baba) to raise this historic.
And what a coincidence, we just experienced arguably two of the best moments of both Test and ODI cricket history in the same year. Man, this 2010 will go down to cricketing history as ‘the year that was’..Awesome one for world cricket. Other coincidences- both the moments came against the same opposition as on both occasion MSD was at the non-striker’s end !!! ha ha...
My kiddo was grossly disappointed this morning as we had to postpone our picnic for some unavoidable reason. Now, in hindsight I just thank the goodness in God as He wanted me to witness history in making. As Harsha bhogle said y-day, even the 1st 300th test wicket was hailed as a big ‘history’ being witnessed then.. lolzzzzzzzz
A half century test centuries and a double century in ODI have certainly made my year-2010. However, being an insatiable Sachin fan, I just cannot wait to see his bat raise to acknowledge the applause for his 50th ODI ton and a World cup in his hand. So a ton o f tons and then u never know what wud be unfolded as we move on. Lets allow time some time as we did for this 50th ton, to unveil many more such wonderful moments that we should be proudly tell our grand children
I wish I could get 3 wishes from God now. BTW, I will use the 3rd one for mine.. ha ha ha……..
