The same Ramakant Achrekar drivel

As the media try to get a collective orgasm going over Sachin Tendulkar’s 20 years in cricket, I am dismayed.
No article on how the man who holds every cricket record failed to propel India to any.
Or, how Hansie Cronje worked out how to get him out inside his first 15 runs.
Or, how Tendulkar is the most boring person to watch when he does not have the bat in his hand.
A tribute is about finding the flaw despite the genius and then using that to flesh out the reality of this person’s private-public existence and contribution.
