Race to the Benchmark

Sachin is a great personality in the world of cricket. He is a living legend. He has set some records which everyone wants to break but who will be able to do that ? Undoubtedly no one from India. Ricky Ponting, who is just 18 months younger than sachin is also many miles away from him. He will have to play for 3 more years than Sachin to even come close to him.

Many people think that Sachin will retire after 2011 world cup and then Ponting will have a chance of doing the impossible. But he has not announced his retirement from test cricket.

Ricky is chasing the Batting Benchmarks set by Sachin but he will only finish second in the race. Ricky will play the 2013 Ashes. But hey, has he ever wondered if he will be able to even lift his bat ?

So all you Ponting fans, dont lose hope, 2nd position is not a bad position. Enjoy…….
