So, 2nd Day of the first Test b/w India and Australia has ended and our little genius Sachin Tendulkar is on 71 and closing on yet another century to add to his incredible list. This is a fitting reply to all those fools who think he was past his prime and I will be watching eagerly tomorrow and hope he completes his century. God how lucky I feel to live in his era and rejoice while he has gone on quietly doing his job. God bless him for his determination, humility and passion for the game.
Cheers...

After a very long time I have seen Sachin bat with such confidence and style. It was a fantastic knock from literally the first ball he faced. In fact his first three scoring shots of his first 4 balls were all boundaries. Then he has settled down to play a mature innings. Let's hope he has another Chennai special innings in him tomorrow morning.
Cheers!

The way he bats makes you yearn for more. You cannot blame the selectors for leaving the retirement entirely to him. Don't know how much longer we can savour such delights from this maestro.

I agree that today he made a fitting reply to all those who want him to retire from all forms of cricket. His batting today was fantastic. At a crucial time like this, under immense pressure, he made a good start and continued to play very well. I believe that he will get another ton tomorrow. I am also eager to watch tomorrow's match.

The 81 is worth its weight in gold, as you will find out over the next 3 days. A century is another number for SRT. Are you not satisfied with his 'Hundred 100s'?
Hope Dhoni Kohli and the rest bat well to clinch a sizeable first innings lead. Sachin's exit opens up things but Dhoni is not one to let go of the opportunity given by Sachin.
Now Clarke will be keen to go all out in the hope of picking some quick wickets, will the Indians oblige?

Yes Sachin got out but he made 81 which is also a good score and more importantly he helped Team India from 12/2 to reach this position and now its upto Dhoni and other batsmen to make sure that the heroics of Sachin did not go in vain. Till now MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli are doing great job as they both have added 57 runs so far.
Lets hope Indian team will take some lead in fist innings to put some pressure on Australian batting line up in second innings.

There is nobody who can take place of master blaster. Especially, he has always been a troublemaker for australian team. This would be good for australia if they could stop him making 100s. If they could not make it, only God knows how and when this little master will make a finish. Sachin, best of luck..

Sachin Tendulkar is one of the best cricketer world had seen. I think he is very determined and has lots of passion for cricket. I think most probably he will get a century in this innings.

Having looked at what Sachin has come up with, it is no wonder that the selectors dare not take the decision to drop him. Some decisions are better left not taken, the Divine will take care.
At 12/2 India was in for another humiliation but Sachin stepped into the fray and scattered the Australian attack with some classic batting, first up. Australia would do well to get him early and Pattinson is striving hard. Let us see if Sachin is ready for the early onslaught on day 2. But even as they concentrate on the old fox the young tyro Virat is likely to get away with another confidence boosting hundred.The duo have to pick up the run rate as the first wave of attack is blunted.
Anyway it makes for some fascinating spectacle as two teams battle to gain ascendancy.

Hi sharmas.
Well unfortunately we did not get to see Sachin score yet another century. However, unlike expected Indian batsmen are handling the situation pretty well at the moment. Bothe Virat and Dhoni are looking very steady. I hope we make around 500 plus score at the end of the day. Let us have our fingers crossed.
Have a nice day !!

Hi himufranky.
Well India did bat very aggressively. I am pretty sure that they will be able to put up 150 + lead. India has raised its chances of winning the first test by its performance in the first session of the third day. I seriously hope that India wins this one.
Have a nice day !!

I definitely agree with you that he is a great servant of the game.He has been a phenomenal cricketer and once a million generations sportman. He has still that great determination and passion for the game.And that separates him well from his contempories. Well,today's innings showed us that there is still fire in master blaster.And befitting answer to many of his critics.He is really playing well with the things and conditions given to him.Unlike other innings, he was not struggling for runs, rather he was playing effortlessly.No risky shots and he was playing as it came.Bad balls were hit and singles and doubles were taken when needed.Boundaries also came at odd times.Overall it has been good from him.a good century and good knocks should do well for him and team.It will raise the confidence in him and for the team.But then it was good to see his innings so far.And a good crowd to cheer him right from the beginning.And it has been one of his favorite grounds.Hope he has cross 1000 runs in this ground hopefully in this test match itself.It will be a great icing in the cake.I too sincerely hope he completes his century tomorrow.Thanks!
