High-profile India-England Test series begins with focus on Tendulkar
LONDON: Across the quaintly beautiful Lords ground, overlooking the lush Nursery turf, the legend is inscribed in cold black and white: This is a special ground for me. All batters dream of scoring a hundred here and I am no different.
Dhoni: Unblemished, Impeccable | Strauss: From Strength To Strength | Formidable: Batsmen vs Batsmen
You dont even have to look at the visage next to the words to see the irony behind them. It is Sachin Tendulkars face, a close shot: he has just essayed a glide and his eyes are blazing; there is a hint of a twinkle too, raising visions of another cheeky stroke.
He is, of course, not just different; Tendulkar is special, indeed THE special one.
