Sachin is almost 34..Ponting is 32.. Sachin started his international career when he was 16..Ponting started it when he was 24..Sachin has played many many more matches ( both tests and one dayers).Ponting has managed the amazing and in the last 3 years, he has totally dominated the batting charts while sachin has struggled..At this rate, Ponting will overtake Sachin by next three series and he will reach 50 centuries in no time in test cricket..The only way Sachin can reach 50 centuries by the end of his career( if he has any) is maybe, probably by BCCI making India to play atleast 2 Test series each with Zimbabwe, Kenya, Bangladesh and maybe ireland .But for that , the corrupt BCCI must first fight and bribe and convince ICC to give test status to a few of the above mentioned countries..If Bermuda is by chance given a test playing status, maybe, just maybe Sachin can do it.. Take it from me guys, there IS NO WAY ON EARTH WE CAN EXPECT SACHIN, THIS SACHIN OF PRESENT DAY TO SCORE CENTURIES AGAINST THE LIKES OF AUSSIES, SOUTH AFRICANS,SRI LANKANS, KIWIS AND EVEN ENGLAND..I MEAN HE WILL STRUGGLE AGAINST THEM EVEN AT HOME CONDITIONS AS WE HAVE ALL SEEN RECENTLY
