The Greatest Talent + Humbleness => I don’t think we will ever see another one again ( at-least during our lifetime )…………
http://www.smh.com.au/news/sport/cricket/sachin-breaks-the-shackles-but-175-stil l-not-enough/2009/11/06/1257247750918.html
Tendulkar twice proved the fate of his team matters far more to him than his own individual efforts, no matter how lofty. The first came on the last ball of Australia's innings when, after sprinting off the extra cover boundary, he took a superb sprawling catch to dismiss Cameron White.
Rather than celebrate, he threw the ball into the turf in anger at having let the visitors amass such an imposing target.
The second came after he was presented with his man of the match award. Despite the adoration of the crowd - and the keys to another free motorbike - Tendulkar could not smile, and while he was polite at the ceremony, it was evident he took no solace in being the game's stand-out player when it was achieved as part of a loss.
As he explained during the presentation:
''I care about playing for India. It's always been a dream and I've been absolutely honoured that I've been able to do that for the last 20 years.'' |
