The Younger Little Master

As I am sure you can tell, I have been playing with a new Photoshop aging action over the last week.

Here is the young Tendulkar circa 1992. The grime is artificial as we all know he has been spotless from the very beginning.

Speechless

This one is crying out for a caption but for the life of me I can't think of one.

A little help someone?

A Four Taste

Piyush Chawla's four wicket haul may have tipped the Indian's edge just a little too soon. How many other teams can play quality spin bowling? Very few contain a quality spinner so playing two or three in one side is going to be real test for most of the teams.

Knowing about the problem and doing something about it are two different things.

Tendulkar Prepares For War

It would appear that Indian cricket and Sachin himself are leaving no stone unturned in their preparation for Australia's brief tour. The Little Master is of course very much officer material.

Perhaps a bit of "boot" camp would be of real value to some of the other teams in world cricket at present.

Back To the Future

All this casting about for new ways to make things interesting, to get bums on seats, to energise the great game. How about we make batsman bat without a helmet. It would create a sense of edge and allow us to actually see the emotions on the batsman.

Kaify here looks much more imposing without a tin can on his head.
