Take away Sachin Tendulkar Silver Coins facts

 Valuemart Gold and Jewels Ltd in association with Diamond India Ltd presented the first Collector's edition of Sachin Tendulkar Silver Coins to take away for the public.

It is clear that the minted coins are of silver Ag metal.  The more details and  facts about the sachin tendulkar coins and why they are special are listed below:

• Atomic Mass: 107.8682 amu 
• Melting Point: 961.93 °C (1235.08 K, 1763.474 °F) 
• Boiling Point: 2212.0 °C (2485.15 K, 4013.6 °F) 
• Number of Protons/Electrons: 47 
• Number of Neutrons: 61 
• Classification: Transition Metal
• Crystal Structure: Cubic 
• Density @ 293 K: 10.5 g/cm3 
• Color: silver

Many cricket fans are asking the company to take away the coins and instead asking Sachin Tendulkar to come out of retirement and play for India again. Indian cricket, especially batting, is struggling to cope up with the pressure of international cricket and comeback of tendulkar will be of high value to the team.

It will be a silver shining among the dark clouds that loom over Indian cricket at the moment if somehow sachin agrees to pick up his bat again.

The energy levels are surely going to increase with the return of little master, the cricinfo cricketer of the generation. This is clear from the energy levels of silver coins of sachin as well which have 5 energy levels.

1. First Energy Level: 2 
2. Second Energy Level: 8 
3. Third Energy Level: 18 
4. Fourth Energy Level: 18 
5. Fifth Energy Level: 1

Who discovered the silver is unknown, but in case of Sachin's case we know who has invented them. Other facts that I have gathered are :

Name Origin: From the Old English word seolfor (silver).
Symbol Origin: From the Latin word argentum (silver).
Uses: jewelry, photography, electrical conductor.
Obtained From: ores (argentite, light ruby silver, dark ruby silver, brittle silver).
Where can I buy: Online or through the showroom.

All in all one would love to have these coins in the purse, especially when it comes to 1 rupee,  5 rupee, and 10 rupee coins.

There is a news floating around that BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is also coming up with its own edition of gold coins. But that might be too expensive to buy.

Cricinfo's cricketer of the generation award should have been gone to?

'Cricinfo' or 'EspnCricInfo', a well known sports news website among cricket lovers recently announced various awards including the 'Cricketer of the Generation' award which went to Sachin Tendulkar. But there were other worthy candidates in the race to win the award, including Australia's leg spinner Shane Warne, and South Africa's allrounder Jaques Kallis, both of whom could have won it easily.

Best batsmen of the generation

While it is foolish to argue about  who should have been the real winner, especially when the jury includes former greats of the game like Barry Richards, Rahul Dravid, and Martin Crowe, no one minds if someone puts up his point as to why the award should have gone to a 'looser' than a 'winner'.

Sachin Tendulkar was arguably the most correct batsmen the world has ever seen. The back lift of the bat, straight blade, decisive footwork, elegance and grace and what not, all were there to see in tendulkar's batting. When it comes to dynamics of the batting, the technical aspect, there is no one even close to matching tendulkar. But is this enough to crown him with cricketer of the generation awards? Mind you he scored more runs in international cricket than any other batsmen with that technique of his. So it's not about only looking stylish, the guy produced the runs as well.  He produced runs all over the world in all conditions, from humid chennai in India, to cool london in britain, bouncy Perth, and seaming Durban.

 Jaques Kallis, who in my opinion is the best allrounder a world of cricket has ever seen, his tally of runs and wickets is there for all to see. Kallis would come to batting crease with his head down, approach to bowling crease with his head up, and do what he does the best i.e to score runs and bowl meaningful wicket-taking overs to help South Africa boss the game. There have been many a occasion where this calm and quite looking man has turned the cricket matches around. These were exactly the reasons as to why he was called 'King Kallis'. But then why he ended up not winning the title? May be his performance against the top team of the era Australia in Australia was not up to the mark. May be jury thought he had more quality cricketers accompanying him in the team as compared to tendulkar who had 'none' for most of his career as such the task of kallis was made much simpler than the tendulkar. But I still say that Jaques kallis should consider himself very unlucky not to have become the generation's cricketer.

Best allrounder of the generation. King Kallis,
a great cricketer

Shane Warne, for who I think the slowmo (slow motion) cameras were invented. It was amazing to see the visuals on the television when Shane Warne used to rip a ball and and slow mo camera would show the revolutions on the ball in the air on its flight path. Then suddenly the ball would drop and it will turn one way or the other and it was a delight to see many a great batsmen beaten by the champion bowler. There was a feeling of tension in the air among the opposition  whenever australian captain used to call Shane Warne for a spell. He was magician. His bowling action was clean, something to be jealous of, and his mastery on leg spin bowling was unparallel. He has a shrewd brain as well and it was fascinating to see how he would lure the batsmen into false sense of confidence before completely fooling him. He was always on the hunt. Many former Australian captains think that he would have been the greatest cricket captain ever if he was given the responsibility to captain Australia. So why he failed to win it? May be the controversies he got involved in, or his record in India where Sachin Tendulkar himself took him to cleaners, or also as was the case with Jaques Kallis he too was surrounded by many a great players, especially those fast bowlers.

best leg spinner of the generation

In the end I am as happy as I am sad that Sachin Tendulkar won the title while Jaques Kallis and Shane Warne missed out to become the CricInfo 'Cricketer of the Generation'.
