It was a privilege to watch Sachin's Innings of 175 Vs. Australia at Hyderabad yesterday (5th Nov 2009). Though India did not win, Sachin reached a milestone of 17,000 runs and also scripted his 45th ODI century. Can you believe the next batsmen are Ricky Ponting and Sanath Jayasuriya way behind at 28 centuries each. A difference of 17 centuries - woh !
While Sachin was pacing his innings, I was reminded of his 143 versus the same team in Sharjah. Even that was for a losing cause. Was fearing the same end result and it finally ended up that way..
But believe me, this was a great innings from a guy who has played 20 years of cricket. But, as it is, he failed to see India through and that was visible from his body language when he came to collect his man of the match award !
Hoping to see personally in the stadium the master blaster in action on Wednesday, the 11th November 2009 at DY Patil stadium provided I get the tickets.
