A genius backs another Genius

(Media Watch one for Dec 21 morning papers)

A headline in Hindustan Times today said ‘’Warne Backs Tendulkar to score heavily’’

Just because he is old does not mean he is finished, said Warne. Well, that is something every Indian knows Mr Warne. We all have tried our best to finish him off (Including this scribe on the blog) but he has survived both verbal and on-field yorkers!

Coming back to Warne, and his line of reasoning: Both Tendulkar’s genius and the fact that Wickets in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide are going to be pretty flat.

If Tendulkar does play two–three special knocks, it will set up India really well. But one of them must come at Melbourne.
