The Cape of Good Hope: And Now He's Gone

And Now He's Gone

Tuesday, November 11, 2008

He came.

He saw.

He conquered.

He came back again.

He saw it all again.

He conquered it all again.

And now He's gone.

And there will be no coming back.

Be well, do good, keep in touch.

It is only in India that you drop and then force such a great player in fine form to quit. Saurav may have left the field. But he's not done yet.

He left on his own terms and that makes me more proud of him than anything else.

He was one of the best things to happen to Indian cricket. And second greatest, he is.

The IPL will make sure we still see a little bit of him.

Thanks.

@bit hawk
Yes. I am a fan. But even if I was just a follower of Indian cricket, I would bow down to his exploits.

So true. He did. The wisest thing was to retire now, with his head held high.
