OMG!! What a POST. Really No ONE thought that any Indian can get it and NO ONE said Sachin could get it. You are Legend. Are you GOD or what? :sarcasm:sarcasm
I believe I said it would have to be an opener, the sad thing is it happened at all. Wasn't cricket supposed to be a contest between bat and ball?!?!? That a batsman can score at FOUR runs per over ON HIS OWN says it all, EIGHT runs an over for the whole team - it's just not cricket

Then you'd be wrong.
What a player Sachin Tendulkar is. Just gutted that I missed it, can't wait to see the highlights later.
What's to celebrate? Records tumbling so frequently proves that it's no longer an achievement.
I wish I could remember the stat off the top of my head about Test triples. Sobers' highest Test score stood for 30 or so years then Lara broke it in 94, Hayden broke Lara's and then Lara regained it within 10 years - says it all. Triples are about as hard to score as doubles used to be, pitches are just so flat that batting and bowling averages are artificially inflated by 5-10 runs and there can be no fair comparison. Is Sachin that great or is it the nature of pitches that give a very good but not great batsman the chance to shine? For such a "great", it is surprising Sachin has only 248no as his Test best with only four 200s. Gooch isn't considered a great, but scored only one less 200/300 than Sachin's four in nearly 50 less Tests - playing on flatter wickets helping immensely, when Gooch played the West Indies were difficult to beg runs off and there were no soft bowling attacks. Maybe the sad truth is also that the days of truly great bowlers are long since numbered.
