sachin scores 39Th test century



If anyone had criticized Tendulkar’s innings in the first three Tests they should have simply landed up here. He was attacking, authoritative in Sydney, and innovative .he batting stood alone at the end of the day.

He had a very slow start and didn’t score for fist 18 balls but soon runs began to pour. It was interesting to hear Tendulkar talk about the first couple of straight drives here; she felt the ball travelled precisely where he wanted it to go. His game was dynamic and kept changing his style after each miss. This made things difficult for the Aussie bowlers but the bowlers began to bowl really good deliveries but they too were dispatched to the fence.

It was an innings where the good balls were put away, amply illustrated when Brad Hogg said his "best ball of the day" was struck for six. He also revealed his rare shorts: charging the spinners and dispatching them back to the stands for a six.
