Sachin and Patriortism

Well just watched :-
Sachin's knock against Australia at Hyderabad

Obviously saying/typing anything more for Sachin will be like adding water to ocean. So instead I would like to limit to bullet points :-

• This match at the beginning was all about Sachin crossing the 17000 mark but by the the end do we realize the man has already covered 17% of the next milestone 18000 !
• Such is the greatness of Sachin and thanks to him so many admirers/critics are generating moolah participating in the surreal phenomenon ......S.R.Tendulkar.
  
• There's always a talk of India losing inspite of Sachin playing his heart out, but then let's not forget the importance of fundamentals, Sachin is not mere brilliant, he' prepares maximum among all 22 players before any match and to get similar results India team and Indian cricket system have to incorporate similar (even 25%) discipline.

And talking of current Indian team I guess players are good but just need a little break to reorganize a bit. Today's other good performers were Raina and Jadeja out of which former has already proved his quality as limited over batsman and latter certainly needs to be given more chances as I would like to bet on his temperament more than that of the immediate option Virat Kohli.
