Farewells Of 2013

Sachin Tendulkar's final Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai garnered 1739 average TVTs which remain unmatched since 2005.

Manoj Prabhakar, who was part of the Indian side when Sachin Tendulkar made his Test debut in Pakistan in 1989, said the just-retired batting maestro remained the same person throughout his "controversy-free" career.

West Indies legend Clive Lloyd was too harsh when he said the Caribbean unit looked 'drunk' in the two Tests which they lost by an innings, but Bedi was a little charitable in saying the feared team of yesteryears looked out of sorts.

Former West Indian great Clive Lloyd slams Darren Sammy's team for suffering innings defeats in both Tests that saw Sachin Tendulkar retiring from cricket. Lloyd feels an overdose of limited overs cricket is affecting the Caribbeans.

A teary-eyed Sachin Tendulkar gave a sterling farewell speech after India won the second and final Test against the West Indies by an innings and Rohit Sharma said the entire team became emotional during the speech.

Riding on Pragyan Ojha's superb show with the ball, India bundled out the hapless West Indies for a meagre 182 runs in their first innings and then went on to score 157 for two in the second Test of Tendulkar's farewell series.

Like any other Sachin Tendulkar fan, Suresh Raina too is hoping for a big hundred from the retiring legend to make his farewell match more memorable.

Even though 22 men will clash with each other at Wankhdede, all eyes will be on just one with prayers for Sachin Tendulkar's willow to score big once again.

Chanderpaul has scored 10,897 runs for West Indies in Tests, second to Brian Lara's record of 11,953 runs
