Sachin played best innings of this year so far (I m saying this keeping the Jacob Oram inings in mind), but u should not forget others.......perhapes it was not possible if Sourav hadn't given a good start........if Dravid hadn't maintained momentum..........& if Dhoni, at the end, hadn't given Sachin the time to breathe at the non-striker's end.... It was a win earned by "TEAM EFFORT" which was missing in the recent past & to get past Australia in the World Cup, only individual briliance is not enough.
