So Mathew Hayden retired today.... One of my favorite batsman, he was a real treat to watch. I can never forget the way he used to walk down the track to fast bowlers and hit them over mid wicket. Even the powerful slog sweap was awesome to watch. I guess he should have decided it to hang his shoes a little early. Remember the send off given to Langer, Warne and McGrath when quit during the Ashes. I would have liked Haydo to have a similar fate by ending on a high like his peers, rather than like this. Anyways, all the best to Haydos for his future life...
इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !
