A tribute to a world class batsman when he played his last game recently after 24 years of international cricket. He is worshipped by his fans.

Hail thee O! Sachin Tendulkar A day when the little master played The last of his great innings It was twenty four years of winning A permanent place of honour In the world of cricket He stands with the bat Where he once began The game that made him Now this was his last A day so precious for millions Who worship him with pride To watch to their hearts content The last game how now he played The outpouring of emotions Built up over the years It is a seen that happens No not often in once lifetime He so loved the game And for the fans who loved him An emotionally charged moment It was when he ended his game The brightest star fading From the horizon this day His magnificent tryst each day With the bat is now but over He turned around and looked At his fans and proudly smiled Held up his head high And waved with his bat You make millions cry please don’t go “read a banner All gaze on his face now, watching how he left But not much was given away Of his heart how it felt Silently the eyes spoke A lifetime of love and blessings In his mind to replay all For it is now the time to see The many hearts he won Touched by his worthy, glorious life Where three generations of cricketers - danced to his tunes “Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Sachin ” More than a million times By J K Roseline

Sadly, his brilliance will not be understood on an American site.(try explaing cricket, and after 5 days play it can still be a draw.)

My pal named his sun, Sachin. Damn shame he was bowled out on his last game. But he is one of the greats!

I know little of cricket, but I don't understand the adulation people pour onto people who play games that were originally meant for fun, but have now become big business, partly because of that love and affection that people get for utter strangers who just happen to have a talent for playing a particular game. And the games after all, are children's games, somehow transformed into glorious matches of war between countries, cities, and individuals larger than life. Oh, how small we are to have heroes like these.

Then again, I do like Tiger Woods and a little-known NASCAR driver, Matt Kennseth. Am I starting to worship already? ;-)
