2. If Michael Kasprowicz has a phobia for sand, it is perfectly understandable. He does not want to re-live "Desert Storm".
3. Shoaib Akthar is still finding ways of how not to get selected in the Pakistani team after 1st March 2003 a day at "The Centurion".
4. The cricketing world experienced a second illegitimate underarm delivery bowled by another one of the Chappell brothers this time it was "IAN" when he uttered a statement "Sachin Tendulkar should retire".
5. After a long chase Punter has finally started finding references of different hospitals down under for finding a wheel chair at the best & cheapest price!
6. Surprisingly for the first time ever we are thankful to a person for not selecting ‘Sachin Tendulkar’, yes the person is ‘Dennis Lillee’.
7. A worried Obama is still increasing his nuclear powers after watching this single dynamite from India blow away multiple nations single handedly.
8. Michael Phelps has started practicing harder than before after watching the on-field dives of Sachin Tendulkar.
9. Damien Fleming still considers his best birthday gift as his retirement because it makes sure that he doesn’t have to bowl to Sachin Tendulkar again on 24th April a day on which he was also born.
10. Still Sanjay Manjrekar stands by his criticism of the Little Master; well I would rather follow Geoffrey Boycott’s mother and her expert comments
11. After watching 608 international matches of the little master Sir Vivian Richards is on a verge of bankruptcy because of his statement "I would pay to see him bat" well if he takes into account his domestic and first class matches then he would have been already bankrupt by now…………….
12. The British Prime Minister Mr. Tony Blair has demanded knighthood and is considering giving citizenship to Sachin Tendulkar because he thinks that only a "Superman" can win him a "Wimbledon" now!
13. Still the most disturbed people in the world are "Tony Greig’s" neighbors because still every night after the year 1998 he has a habit of shouting "what a player... what a wonderful player!"
14. We have the 8th wonder of the world and Australia is devoid of one wonder; yes it’s the SCG which is now “Sachin Cricket ground”!!
15. We get a perfect example of how “Gods are worshipped” in India when we see a 60 year old Master touch the feet of a 37 year old genius!
16. Still the media questions his age and still the Master sings ‘’Dil to baccha hai ji’’
17. Still Boost is the secret of Sachin’s energy and Sachin is the secret of our nation’s pride
18. Whether or not ICC declares it we still celebrate 24th April as World cricket day because there is "Nothing official about it"
19. The government is planning to nominate Sachin for Bharat Ratna well that’s just a formality for a person who is already a Bharat Ratna in each and every Indian's heart..
Happy Birthday once again!
