Unlike the arm-chair critics of Sachin Tendulkar who fart off their mouths, sipping on cocktails in their AC rooms, Wasim Akram is someone who has had the [mis] fortune of throwing that red [or white] leather to the little master. Any sane follower of the game of cricket will always consider a comment by a man as prolific as Akram to carry certain amount of weight.
And so when he speaks, one sits up and takes notice. In this most beautifully worded commentary by Akram as a part of tribute to the master blaster on his 33rd birthday [even today he is just 33 !] Akram dwells briefly on Sachin's current situation.
It's only fair that it comes from Akram, who himself in his home country faced a similar situation not too long back. If anyone can relate to what Sachin is going through at this moment, it would be Wasim Akram.
Sachin is unbowlable batsman
Critics be damned. Two of the greatest cricketers i have known [Bradman and Akram] have certified Sachin's ability. Doesn't matter if pygmies shout and fart. It's their problem.
