I thought of not even giving it an iota of space in my blog but then, keeping away from it also does not make me happy. Hello, I am talking about Sachin Tendulkar's omission from the 'all time great' top 20 in Tests and ODIs. Most rightly and sarcastically as Abhinav Bindra has put it, they (the ICC) must have mistyped or rather untyped mistakingly the maestro's name in the list.
The fact that the likes of Hayden, Sangakkara, Hussey, Mohammad Yousuf etc leading ahead of Tendulkar in itself raises serious doubts about the credibility of the rankings and rankers. A man of indomitable talent and exemplary dedication and consistency, the Little Master has been baffling the cricket world (lovers, critics and players included) with his cricketing acumen for 19 years now. With over 12,000 Test runs and 15,000 ODI run in his kitty, he still strives to deliver and deliver at its best, I must say! And still, he has been questioned of consistency. The ICC has gone nuts and needs rigorous counseling.
