One More Double Ton

Master blaster is heading towards one more double ton but this time race is not about runs but it’s about number of test matches played. The legend needs two more test matches to become first cricketer to play 200 test matches in the history of cricket. He has to wait till the end of this year to play his next test match scheduled against South Africa. So South Africa will be lucky to witness again Sachin’s double ton. So just hold your nerves till November and wishes him best of  luck….!.

Happy Birthday Sachin

Born on 24^th April 1973, Sachin Tenduklar turns to 40 last month. He celebrates his 40^th birthday with his wife at Kolkata. The Mumbai Indians Batsman happens to be at Kolkata for his team clash with defending champions KKR in IPL6.

 Wish him a very Happy Birth Day..!

Damn The 100th

“Iconic Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar scripted history by becoming the first cricketer in the world to score 100 international centuries.”

                      This time celebrations was muted, but it has been overshadowed by a sense of relief. This would be the first time that a Sachin had scored century and everybody is feeling relief rather than celebration (may he also).Looking into last 2 years,2010 was brilliant year for him as he scored total 8 centuries.He scored his 99th century on 11th march against South Africa in World Cup 2011.After that match he got 4 opportunities for golden ton in World Cup 2011 but he failed on every occasion. Since then it had been an long wait for the master blaster, whose every inning was watched with anticipation and excitement. He came so close so many times, in Oval against England , in Mumbai against Westindies or in the first two Tests in Australia.He was out of form during India's Test and ODI whitewash at the hands of England last year and though he recovered quite a bit in the later series, the hundred was still not coming.

                            Tendulkar seemed to be in good touch during the Tests but his form waned after he missed the 100th hundred despite coming close a few time.Following this, he made himself available for the ODI tri-series against Sri Lanka and Australia but there too, the milestone proved elusive.A long wait of 33 innings has frusted all his fans,But the wait finally ended in familiar sub-continental environment.When asked him about his feeling after 100thton, he said he felt 50 kilos lighter after the century, he was obviously referring to the pressures of expectations that he had to carry for over a year. None of us can feel that pressure as those who haven't gone through it won't know how difficult that was.This inning adds one more record of scoring century against all ODI playing teams.

                          

                            This golden moment could have been better, against quality opponent and on a wicket that didn’t really have the typical subcontinent feel about it. It could have happened in Australia, or in England, or during the World Cup. But then, this is not the time to brood on what could have been. This is the time to congratulate,celebrate ,chear ,enjoy and hoping that best is yet to come....

A Milestone In World Cricket - "Sachin Tendulkar"

Actually records are made to be broken but the milestones are made over time.Sachin itself is a milestone that every cricketer dreams to achive.
In the early days he was not so famous but as time passes world was getting aware of this great cricketer.When a great cricketer of that time Sir Don Bradman watched Sachin's batting he got wondered because most of shots played by him are similar to his shots.Sir Don Bradman saw himself in Sachin.So he was invited by Sir Don Bradman on his birthday party.I think this was one of the greatest moment in his life.Unfortunately after few years world cricket lost Sir Don Bradman but world cricket was set to have a rise of new hero "SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR"
Now, Sachin has such position in world cricket that many former cricketers compares him with Sir Don Bradman.This king of records has one wish that is yet to be completed,a wish of winning a worldcup for India.Sachin has started his own practise for WC 2011 irrespective of others.You can also experience the change in his batting in last one year.Talking about test,he has scored 5 hundreds in last 7 matches.In ODI his unbeaten 200 is sufficient to tell complete story.His record in IPL 3 will clear the picture about his performance in the fasted mode of cricket.He is going with good touch & shown great confidence on young Indian team for WC 2011.Hope this combination gives better results.
