I remember, maa nanna cricket choodatam maanesaaru after Kapil retired, eppudanna oka saari choostaru ippudu. I assume, I will end up similarly after Sachin retires

Brilliant!! This article has left me teary eyed. Kudos Siddharth!! You have articulated one 25yr old's emotions exactly into words. I like the way you say that we sacrificed homeworks..I dont remember how many times i bunked schools for watching Sachin bat or reprimanded by my mom for wasting one whole day watchin cricket with exams the next day...the days when I skipped food, infact these 'heroes' used to save me from dad's lashings as well coz the mere mention of Sachin's performance used to cool him down, used to take radio to school to listen to live commentary....those memories are etched on to our minds and nothing could ever displace them...Well written dude!! |

Dear Sid, A good article but I am 55 and I can say " I have seen it all ". I was 17 when Ajit Wadekar's team ran through Windis and then the arrogant English on their soils. I have seen the quartet of Bedi, Pras, chandra and venkat make the batsmen dance to their tunes. I saw complete rise and domination of Gavaskar. Just when these gentlemen were considered irreplaceable, out of blue, we were actually the world champions of one day cricket. We saw Gawaskar as highest run getter, Kapil as highest wicket taker and when we thought the likes of them were irreplaceable, along came Tendulkar who surpassed all the levels of adulation of previous greats. As a matter of fact, it went to such a level that some of his teammates became jealous to the extent of not being co-operative. But he showed the humility to give up the captaincy and play with same intensity with any other captain in charge. There may not be anybody like him but life goes on and there will be sombody around for the this gam |

Very True! Actually Kumble was never a part of our discussion until about say the start of this decade. Neither was VVS a part of this debate until his 281 (even after that, we never used to discuss much about VVS). The discussions were mostly about Sachin, Saurav, and Rahul...I am in the early 30's and have been watching cricket since the World Series Cup victory in Australia (not the world cup). Srikkanth used to be my idol, but once Sachin came on scene, as Sid has pointed out, there was always glue on the chair! I still remember the Australasia cup when my mom/bro served dinner to me on my seat and took the plate from my seat after I had eaten and got me a finger bowl, coz if i got out of my seat, Sachin would be out!! We will definitely miss you all!!

Hi Sid, kudos to you for being to the spot. Whatever you have described, I can relate it to myself (and most of other in my age-group will too) accurately. It's indeed true that cricket as a sport will never be same after sachin and dravid retire but we must thank God for being lucky to watch and adore them in our formative years. A tendulkar, a kumble and a dravid in a lifetime is too more than one can ask for. |

Yeah;I could totally relate to this article you know; Again,the only reason I ever started watching cricket was this one kid called sachin;I was 7 i think when i first started watching back in 91 (I'm 24 now). I cannot even begin to think how I can ever continue watching cricket without sachin tendulkar in the team;Even though the day is close but I still dont wanna think about it;its too painful.Every match india won, was a victory for us. It made us forget everything bad that has happened in our lives (Bad grades, scolding from parents, poor exams. We rejoiced more than them, for it felt as if we were part of them.. I'm just being nostalgic man;I'm sure we will continue to watch cricket years later. We'll've good players replacing them, for sure. But will we ever have a sachin, the heart-on-your-sleeve shirt waving dada, the sway-out-of-the-line dravid, poetry in motion laxman, or the captain dignity kumble. Never. P.S. never seen so many comments postedon an article. Good stuff |

Famous Cricket writer Peter Roebuck on Fab5:
If Anil Kumble was the colossus, Sachin Tendulkar the champion, Rahul Dravid the craftsman, VVS Laxman the sorcerer, then Ganguly was the inspiration. |

Siddhartha, I could run over and hug you right now!!! I will be 29 this month and have gone through almost the same experiences and emotions that you have described. I was part of the "Cricket is my religion, Sachin is my God" crowd. How our mood rose and fell with each boundary hit by Sachin and each time he got out, triggering a procession! How we danced in the streets after Jadeja hit Waqar Younis out of the park in Bangalore in the 1996 World Cup, and how we wept after Sachin got out to Saqlain in Chennai (1998). These days, watching cricket over shaky illegal streams from the US while having a regular job somewhat shields one from the highs and lows, but every once in a while an article like yours comes across and brings a lump to the throat... BTW...I cannot believe you left out Desert Storm among your list of unforgettable experiences!

This is quite easily one of the best articles I have ever read. I can so empathize with each and every line in this article. "Tendulkar's retirement may mean a lot of things to a lot of people, but for a generation of 25- to 30-year-olds it will mark the end of the first part of their lives. Switching on the television the day after will be a serious challenge." ... cannot agree more! Wonderful! |

you have echoed the sentiments of that whole generation who grew up during this period and saw these players grow along with them. Sachin especially has become a part of my life. I stopped watching basketball after Jordan retired, an I stopped following F1 after Schumacher retired. I hope that doesn't happen with cricket. We need cricket idols like Sachin and the rest of the fab 4 or 5 and not page 3 superstars like Yuvraj and co. |

comment from a user:
Terrific thought and article .. my eyes almost became wet reading the article. I had a distant feeling of what you wrote here before this. Really it would be very sad and challenging as you say to watch India go into a game with out these great gentlemen of world cricket. They are the near perfect role models for any child. I am 26 now and I vagely remember Sachin with the band aid on his nose batting in the test match in pakistan. From then on started my connection with these heroes. I want to run away from that day when an Indian team goes to play a test match.. as if somebody died. |
