Lara makes century - Just one behind Sachin

Brian Lara hit an amazing 77 ball century today to equal Sunil Gavaskar's tally of 34 centuries. Sachin Tendulkar is only one century ahead at 35.

Now, I can predict the headline in our dear Indian newspapers tomorrow. While it is going to be 'Congrats Lara' all the world over, it is going to be 'Is this the end of Tendulkar era?'.

This guys, I tell you are the biggest duffers you would ever find on the planet. They shall comfortably forget the innumerable injurieis that has hit the little master over the past two years; something that is only a consequence of the person having played for the past 17 years for his country.

But then, if these things are remembered, how can the hype and biting headlines be made? Who cares for that 33 year old. We needed him only during those years when the Indian team only had this one man playing, and the rest ten were there only because cricket can be played with eleven players.
