RE:RE:Tendulkar's ODI 100s that went in vain
by Sab Harim on Feb 01, 2007 07:45 AM

I am not sure you have seen this match.Personally, this match had one of the greatest cricketing moments.This was when the great man was playing and a dust storm interrupted the innings.Everyone including the other Indian batsman went back in to the dressing room.But Sachin was sitting outside without removing his helmet waiting for the storm to blow over.For him,the job was important and he couldn't afford to lose concentration!!Mind you, this was the mighty Aussies on their 'last frontier' tour.And what is not mentioned by Nageswaran's amazing ststs is that the innings from Sachin got India into the final as we had to reach a certain score for India to qualify for the final.And when we reached there, the crowd celebrated as if we had won and everyone expected Sachin to ease up.But He kept going after the Aussies suprising the commentator Tony Grieg "Oh! he hasn't finished yet!! He is looking for victory here!" And then Sachin was unfortunately given out lbw to Kasparowiz when he wasn't.
Well, stats don't tell you the story always.
Cheers to you too.If you get the video-get it!
