we can imagine how difficult it was out there. another failure, and our respected ex-cricketers would have started the "chorus" all over again. and cricket is but a one-ball game.
Congratulations for the 51, and the 10,000. those critics did not score the runs for you. you did and only two in the whole world have done that before you. (and you could have been the fastest to the 10,000 mark, had not luck deserted you in the Pakistan-series.
you are so talented, and with the right aggressive attitude, and patriotic (and NOT provincial), and honest, and unselfish.......
we hope to see you in full flight for at least another five years, as the Indian star batsman and Captain........
