The iconic and universally worshipped duo of Messrs Tendulkar and Warne will renew their legendary mutual rivalry one more time during the course of a 50 over a side cricket match being held to celebrate 200 years of existence of the iconic and revered Lord's Cricket Ground........
Come 3:15 pm; Saturday afternoon (Indian Standard TIme) and the two players who have lorded over the cricketing firmament for two decades and more will lead their respective teams the Marleybone Cricket Club and Rest of World XI.........
Tendulkar will lead a MCC side comprising of such superstars and icons of the game like Rahul Dravid, Saeed Ajmal, Brett Lee, Brian Lara, Daniel Vettori and Shivnarine Chanderpaul; while Warne will enjoy the rare honour of leading a side choc a bloc with proven talents like Pietersen, Afridi, Sehwag, Muttaiah Muralitharan, Yuvraj Singh and Adam GIlchrist........
Former English stumper Ian Gould and former county cricketer Richard Kettleborough will be the two officiating umpires while Michael Gough will don the television or third umpire's mantle and for the first time since 1987 avid fans of the game will be allowed to watch the game from close quarters in between the perimeter fence and boundary ropes on the Grand Stand side of this hallowed piece of cricketing turf.......
I for one am licking my lips in anticipation at the prospect of viewing one more titanic struggle between two of the finest cricketers to have ever graced the world stage and do hope that the same holds true in your case as well...........
