CRICKET OBSESSIVE
175 runs ... a ripper! Congratulations, Sachin!
What was that I was saying earlier in the week about Sachin's strength, stamina and agility? (See below.)
Sachin Tendulkar has achieved his 45th ODI hundred and also become the first batsman in the history of cricket to pass the 17,000 run mark.
A stupendous performance!
(Of course I support the Australian team, and the win by 3 points was exciting - but Sachin's individual success outshines any smaller sense of nationalism.)

RAJ SINGH DUNGARPUR DIES AGED 73
Check out the new 'Searching for Sachin' ebook, which includes a Raj Singh dedication, at
http://www.searchingforsachin.net/
Dedication
Sachin Tendulkar has dedicated his match-winning 44th one-day international century to Raj Singh Dungarpur.
Tendulkar made 138 in the final of the Compaq Cup against Sri Lanka at the Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on Sunday. He was also declared the ‘Man of the Match’ and ‘Man of the Series.’
Twenty years ago, Tendulkar was selected in the Indian team for the tour of Pakistan by Raj Singh Dungarpur, the then chairman of the National Selection Committee.
(from The Hindu)
A CONDOLENCE MEETING WAS HELD FOR RAJ SINGH DUNGARPUR TUES 15 SEPTEMBER AT THE CRICKET CLUB OF INDIA IN MUMBAI.
The following obituary was posted by Cricinfo on Saturday.
(Please see my blog list (8 August 09) The short and long of it on the valuable role Raj Singh played in the development of Indian cricket and his view of Sachin Tendulkar's unique ability. The interview was recorded early last year when Raj Singh still had clear memory when it came to particular isolated incidents which he felt strongly about. I feel grateful for the time he spent with me and the advice and assistance he gave.)

Raj Singh Dungarpur, the former BCCI president, has died aged 73 following a prolonged illness. He represented Rajasthan as a medium-pacer for 16 seasons starting in 1955, but he was better known as an administrator, who held top positions in Indian cricket.
He was the BCCI's president for three years from 1996, served as the chairman of the national selection committee (including when Sachin Tendulkar was first picked in the Indian team in 1989), and was also the Indian team manager on several tours, including the victorious trip to England in 1986. He was also president of the prestigious Cricket Club of India for 13 years.
Rajbhai, as he was affectionately known, was the youngest son of Maharawal Lakshman Singhji, the ruler of Dungarpur. He took 206 wickets at 28.84 for Rajasthan in 86 first-class matches before retiring and focusing on cricket administration.
The Indian board paid tribute to the work done by Dungarpur, calling him a 'visionary' for his role in setting up the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.
"It is a great loss to Indian cricket. Rajbhai served Indian cricket diligently and with distinction, in several capacities," BCCI president Shashank Manohar said. "He was a self-effacing individual who always put the sport, and Indian cricket in particular, above everything else."

CRICKET AS A COMMON DENOMINATOR
Now … time to get to, not the heart of cricket, but the moneymakers, I decided, so I whizzed off to speak with Professor Ratnakar Shetty, Chief Administrative Officer of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), just a few streets along the bay from the CCI.

Raman Subba Row … a forward-looking man, proven by the fact that he was so instrumental in the acceptance of a new development in the game in the 1970s, the One Day Internationals that came to be known as ‘Packer’s circus’.

On offer are some jokes doing the rounds in India sent in by Sumit Mukherjee, cricket writer with the TOI, Kolkata. He doesn’t take responsibility for creating them – just passing them on. In the interests of good sportsmanship and Indo-Australian relations, here's a sample:
Q: What is the main function of the Australia coach?
A: To transport the team from the hotel to the ground.
Q: What do you call an Australian with a champagne bottle in his hand?
A: A waiter.
Q: Who spends the most time on the crease of anyone in the Australian team?
A: The woman who ironed the cricket whites.
