I was so happy reading whole of ur msg...but that last para hurt me... he was, is and will always be brilliant... one thing people generally forget...they say, when sachin performs, india loses... cant they just notice that when sachin performs, noone of those 10 others have guts to perform... coz it is sachin's class that only he can perform in those type of conditions. they can be.,..strong opponents, no help for batsman from the pitch, weather...etc etc... then when india loses, and only he played, people say that it is a bad luck for india that sachin is in the team...how rubbish... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SACH
