I like Rafael more than Roger!




I will find myself cornered if I were to make this comment in public. Roger is probably the greatest player ever to walk out on a tennis court and his elegant, flawless play cannot be matched by any at the moment. A game is more fun to watch when there is drama in it. Am I right to say that Roger's play is too perfect that it takes away the thrill and excitement from the game. I personally love a sport, whatever be it for the hits, misses, drama, crunch situations. I cannot find those when Roger is playing, unless he is playing with Rafael of course. It is completely different when Rafael is playing, he dresses sporty, very energetic making a lot of noise. It's like you can smell his sweat when you watch him in TV. Roger makes you feel as though you are watching Tiger Woods play golf. I love sport for it's excitements and Rafael provides me with that more than Roger.

"Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting, because even the Lord is watching"

This is what a banner at SCG read when Sachin got his last hundred against Aussies. No criticism can take away the class from him. I rate sachin tendulkar as one of best sports personality beacause he is humble, dedicated and extremely good at what he is doing. World has recognized him as one of the best to have ever plated the game. It is totally unnecessary for me to prove him of his calibre as a cricketer. Inspite of his popularity and years of success against best of the best, he still takes up challenges like a rookie and has great determination even at this point of time when he already has almost all the records in cricket under his name. He knows exactly when and what to say when a situation arrives for him to do that. Usually he sticks to answering criticism and challenges using his bat. His words are always very simple and to the point and he never ever offends any fellow cricketers and has immense respect to each and every one involved. His dedication to the game and effort he puts in his batting practise is really something that anyone can emulate, whichever profession you are working.He always believe in hard work and emphazises that sacrifices have to be made to achieve success. Sachin is one person that I look upto in life.

"If Cricket is religion, Sachin is God"
