Congratulations Dada, on finally making it. You must be feeling very happy and relieved, but unfortunately we, the Indian fans can't say the same seeing your yesterday's shaky performance and selfish, self-indulgent, "playing for own record" kind of attitude. It took you 110 balls (18.2 overs) to score your paltry, painful 51 runs. To be frank, we fans were praying to God that you get out and clear the pitch to next batsman. Your 2.5 hours of so called "batting venture" in the field not only was plain torture to our nerves but also made a fatal blow to our run rate, from which India never recovered. For comparison, the SL vice Jayavardene facing similar number of balls, 114 to be precise scored 94. Also, as I'm writing this, England's Trescothick at Ashes 2nd test scores 90 off 102 balls, and mind you, He's playing a 5 Day TEST match, unlike your brilliant score at ODI yesterday! Now, that you have achieved your feat (10,000 runs) may I solemnly ask you to leave with your whatever leftover dignity and make room for younger, more talented batsmen waiting, before frustrated Indian fans invade the pitch and show you the EXIT.
