Just reading an article off cricinfo about sachin mentioning his batting adaptations over the years -‘Sound of bat hitting ball is still a special feeling’. The changes in his mental frame right now with after so many years of service to international cricket. we could hear the critics say ‘I always told this before’ – but seriously it is not rocket science to predict that ones natural reflexes will slow down with age and does it even matter? each of us need to set the bar for ourselves and as long as one delivers the goods the rest does not matter.
To me, the article heading stands out ‘Sound of bat hitting ball is still a special feeling’ – after so many years, this guy has the drive (no pun intended) to play at the highest level, his commitment to the game has always been more 100% and his playing has been inspirational. To have a consistent mental poise at 15, refined and got better at 35 years old has been unique. being successful at what you love and being one of the best is achievement.
kudos to the one and only man who scores 100s in both cricket and outside of it!
hope his swansong thrills us as much as his entire career has been.
