After nearly two weeks of the IPL in which veterans like Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist have been at their best, Sachin Tendulkar has insisted that age has little relation to a player's performance in Twenty20.
"I don't know who says that it's a young man's game. Clearly, he doesn't know much about cricket," Tendulkar told the IPL's official website. "It's a cricketers' game so it really doesn't matter whether you are young or old. It is a cricketer's match."
Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway Inc will hold its annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, on Saturday, is the world's second-richest person, and perhaps America's most-revered capitalist.
Buffett, 78, bought Berkshire, a struggling textile mill, in 1965. Berkshire's market value is now roughly $145 billion. Berkshire owns close to 80 companies, including auto insurer Geico, reinsurer General Re, ice cream maker Dairy Queen and utility MidAmerican Energy.
Buffett has nearly all his net worth, estimated in March at $40 billion by Forbes magazine, invested in Berkshire. He has said every Berkshire share he has will go to philanthropies after his death. In June 2006, he pledged 85 percent of his net worth to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and four family charities. He supports several charities, including Girls Inc, a social service agency, and the Glide Foundation, a San Francisco nonprofit offering programs for the poor, hungry and homeless.
