Sachin Missing the ton

I also wanted to sachin to get the hundredth hundred but after seeing his batting throughout the series one thing was clear that he was totally out of match practice. Ideally sachin should have played in the west indies series to prepare himself for the big series in England. But we all know that he is a great player and hundredth hundred is nothing for him he is going to score more hundreds than that. But it would have helped if he would have played well along with dravid.
