Some
Great News and some that are straining to be news…
Its the day after “The Lord of the Crease”, Sachin retired. No untoward
incidents were reported from anywhere in the country. Some people were still
found moving around with the Indian Cricket’s blue jersey with No. 10 printed
on it and proudly waving the Indian Tri-colour, as this will be the last time
the No. 10 will ever be used on an Indian Cricketer’s jersey. The BCCI has
decided to retire No. 10 in Sachin’s honour.
