http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ausvind/content/current/story/333191.html There's a statue of Don Bradman at the Cathedral End of the Adelaide Oval, where he appears to be dancing down the track and lofting the ball straight over the bowler's head. The bat is above his left ear, his knees are bent and the eyes are looking upwards, watching the ball soar into the horizon of his home ground. It was fitting that Sachin Tendulkar chose the venue to bring up an immaculately-crafted hundred, the kind which is said to have put Bradman so far ahead of the rest. .... .... There wouldn't have been a better period film (atleast as of now) to show Rahman's class. It wasn't an innings with any distinct shade, rather one that covered the entire spectrum. Walking in to a standing ovation, he didn't score off the first 18 balls. Soon after he had eased into first gear, he set the stage with a flurry of fours. The first was a simple, yet glorious straight drive off Brett Lee; the fourth was hammered past Mitchell Johnson, the bowler. The skies were clear but it would have been fitting if a rainbow hung over the arena. An innings with as much variety and class as JA. Bradman rated his 254 at Lord's as his finest innings, simply because each stroke went exactly where he intended. It was interesting to hear Tendulkar talk about the first couple of straight drives here, saying how the ball travelled precisely where he wanted it to go. "These are phases which come and go," he said, "and you know when you're hitting the ball well. You need to wait for that moment." So Rahmanesque :) He signed off with a cheeky ramp over the slips, making full use of Lee's pace and bounce, and rounded off an innings which had almost everything. So does JA end with a Bajan. I might sound silly. But I am blessed to be in the same era as Rahman and Tendulkar. When both Rahman and Tendulkar strike the joy multiplies and when India wins and the Movie becomes a hit...the joy is only unlimited. Note: Tendulkar came back with a magnificent century in the DLF cup in 2006 after a shoulder surgery - http://content-www.cricinfo.com/dlfcup/content/current/story/259587.html , around which time Rahman came with the audio of Guru after almost an year of hiatus (in Hindi and had only two releases in Tamil - JOK and Varalaru) after RDB - http://tamil.galatta.com/entertainment/livewire/id/Guru_6511.html Now you know why JA's audio was delayed :D --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, raja sekar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi, > > both are not in good form nowadays.. as expected. expecting to be back to the > form SOON... > > > Mirza Munas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Sorry even I don't see any similarities.. .. > > > --- reddy naveen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > A.R.Rahman & Sachin Tendulkar - Destiny' twins? > > > > > > The Hub Forum Index -> Miscellaneous Topics > > View previous topic :: View next topic > > Author Message > > MADDY > > Senior Hubber > > > > > > Joined: 25 Dec 2004 > > Posts: 595 > > > > Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2005 8:38 am Post subject: > > A.R.Rahman & Sachin Tendulkar - Destiny' twins? > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > A startling but very logical coincidences between 2 of > > the gr8est men of 90's/......they characterised the > > 90's and were icons of the youth at that > > time(including me)......just see the startling > > similarities between these 2: > > > > Comprehensive similarities between A.R.Rahman and > > Sachin Tendulkar: > > > > Entry into their respective fields: > > A.R.Rahman: 1992 > > Sachin Tendulkar: 1989 > > > > They were an instant hit because: > > A.R.Rahman: Blasting music, classical songs at a very > > young age > > Sachin Tendulkar: Swashbuckling batting and a great > > cricketing sense at a very young age > > > > How they stood out from others? > > A.R.Rahman: First to bring digital touch to Indian > > music and compose fusion that no one else dares to > > think off > > Sachin Tendulkar: First to explore the first 15-over > > restriction, score centuries at bouncy, tough tracks > > like Perth. > > > > As time moved on: > > A.R.Rahman: Stopped producing blasting music, instead > > delivered Classical melodies like Taal & swades out of > > maturity. > > Sachin Tendulkar: Stopped going over the top to > > bowlers, instead played exquisite drives and late cuts > > and produced innings with a lot of maturity > > > > Character similarity: > > A.R.Rahman: Shy towards media and lets his keyboard > > answer his critics > > Sachin Tendulkar: Shy towards media and lets his bat > > answer his critics > > > > Media point of view: > > A.R.Rahman: Darling of Mumbai and London press > > Sachin Tendulkar: Darling of Mumbai and London press > > > > International attention: > > A.R.Rahman: Admired by Andrew Lloyd Webber , Micheal > > jackson ( who wore a t-shirt having Rahman's photo on > > it) and many other international music reviewers who > > want him to compose for Hollywood films. > > Sachin Tendulkar: Adored by the man himself the "DON", > > Mike atherton( who compared sachin to W.G.Grace) and a > > never ending list of > > Australian,English,Kiwi,Westindian players. > > > > Earnings: > > A.R.Rahman: Draws 1 Crore/ film, ambassador of Bharti > > telecom, sizzled with the Airtel ad > > Sachin Tendulkar: unimaginable money on contracts with > > big commercial giants and sizzles in Pepsi ads > > > > Records: > > A.R.Rahman: 4 national awards, 16 filmfare awards, his > > music sold 200 million copies around the world and > > success rate of 80%+ album sales in Indian movies. > > Sachin Tendulkar: Look at this for a record: 37 ODI > > centuries, 35 TEST centuries, 13,000+ runs in ODI's, > > 44+ average in ODI's and 58+ average in Tests.
