I am not happy with this. For his achievements, even a president post would not justify it. Would be happy if he becomes the president. Sachin for President :yes:

I'm just wondering how did he accept this offer as he generally tends to stay away from these things. Guess he felt this is a honor and said yes (just like he was given a honorable post in Air Force), not as a retirement plan. I'm more disappointed that he gave room to his detractors to talk rubbish.

[littlemaster1982]

From Rajya Sabha website, (http://rajyasabha.nic.in/rsnew/practice_procedure/nominated_member.pdf)


Under article 80 of the Constitution, the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) is composed of not more than 250 members, of whom 12 are nominated by the President of India from amongst persons who have special knowledge or practical experience in respect of such matters as literature, science, art and social service. By adopting the principle of nomination in Rajya Sabha, the Constitution has ensure that the nation must also receive services of the most distinguished persons of the country who have earned distinction in their field of activity, many of whom may not like to face the rough and tumble of the election. By nominating them to Rajya Sabha, the state not only recognises their merit and confers honour on them, but also enables them to enrich the debates by their expertise and knowledge that they have in different areas


Speaking about the nominated members, Jawaharlal Nehru said in the House of the People on 13 May, 1953: ...The President has nominated some members of the Council of States who, if I may say so, are among the most distinguished, taking everybody in Parliament altogether it is true, distinguished in arts, science, etc. And our Constitution in its wisdom gave that. They do not represent political parties or anything, but they represent really the high watermark of literature or art or culture or whatever it may be.

EOD.

I'm a sportsman, not a politician: Sachin
Pune: In his first media interaction after being nominated for the Rajya Sabha (RS) by the President of India, Sachin Tendulkar said while he will like to make a contribution as a Member of Parliament, he remains primarily a sportsman and not a politician.

"It's a bouncer, but I'm aware of my responsibilities. It's a great honour for me, [though] I'm not a politician but a sportsman. I will like to contribute in whatever way I can," Tendulkar said about his RS nomination, which has been made under the quota of eminent citizens of India.

http://img.timeinc.net/time/images/covers/pacific/2012/20120521_600.jpg

Sports icons are rarely good interviews. They’re usually too conscious about their public image to be truly candid, and tend to speak in bland bromides. So when TIME correspondent Nilanjana Bhowmick and I met with India’s cricket star Sachin Tendulkar in Mumbai last month for a magazine profile that will appear in this week’s issue of TIME (available to subscribers here), we were not expecting much. Although he is known as the ‘Master Blaster’ for his swash-buckling batting, Tendulkar is famously reticent off the field. When he has given interviews, he has tended to steer clear of anything remotely controversial. He’s also been careful not to reveal very much about himself, about what goes on in the mind of a man who’s revered by his cricket-crazy countrymen as a kind of divinity.

To our surprise, Tendulkar was in a chatty mood. Although he artfully dodged questions about politics (the interview took place a couple of weeks before he was appointed to the Indian parliament), the world’s greatest batsman opened up about how he copes with the burden of a billion dreams, his mental process on and off the pitch, and even about the anxieties of fatherhood.

Excerpts from the interview:

On how much attention he pays to the outsize impact he has on his countrymen:

For me there was [always] a simple formula: be focused on cricket and the rest of the things will happen. Let people talk about it; me, I move forward. Right from my school days, I have done that. I know that certain things I do or say have an impact on people; people appreciate certain things that I do. But any active sportsman has to be very focused; you’ve got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest is in the background.

On how much attention he pays to media hype around him:

If I get to hear casually about something someone’s said about me, or see something in the papers, that’s fine. I don’t go looking for things. In the last few years, the hype has grown because there is such fierce competition in the media. Earlier, you played 10 shots, and maybe a couple of comments were made; today you play one shot and there are 500 comments. The ball is the player’s court, whether you want to follow every little thing or you want to keep your mind blank and trust your judgment, trust your instincts and take decisions.

I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can’t be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn’t discuss media coverage. It helps because I am able to take my own decisions not influenced by somebody saying something.

On his expectations of himself:

I don’t think I woke up one morning and felt that there was this responsibility on me and that I needed to live up to that expectation. Something which still gives me sleepless nights is, “How will I go out and keep that standard, and live up to my own expectations. How am I going to go out and perform?”

That restlessness brings the best out of me, it’s a healthy sign. At the start of my career, when I used to toss and turn at night, I was fighting that feeling and wanting to go to sleep. Now I know that’s normal, so I’ll just get up and watch TV or something. I know it’s just my subconscious mind getting ready for a game. It’s about knowing yourself, and I know myself better now.

On the importance of enjoying his cricket:

So much happens [on and off the field] that sometimes you forget to enjoy the game. That’s when things don’t go smoothly. I only realized that in 2006, after I after my [shoulder] surgery, during my rehab. I played a couple of practice games, and there was not too much media, not too many people watching. I realized something was very different: I was enjoying cricket. In retrospect, it was important for me to play those games. That was game changer for me. I didn’t even realize it had become so much about commitment and pressure, and doing this correctly.

Since then, there have been challenges along the way, some tough moments. But I would speak to myself and say. “It doesn’t matter what the situation is, enjoy it.”

On his inner monologue while batting:

Sometimes I chat to myself, sometimes I don’t. Most of the time, it’s my subconscious mind that’s working. I don’t have time to complicate my mind, so I try to keep it empty. Being in “the zone” is when you’re not thinking of anything, merely reacting.

One would like to be in that zone more often, but it’s not that easy. It’s like you are completely cut off from the crowd, from the noise they are making. Your subconscious has taken over.

I feel it’s the conscious mind that messes things up. The conscious mind is constantly telling you, this might happen or that might happen, even before it has happened. Your conscious mind tells you the next ball might be a out-swinger, but when it’s coming at you you realize it’s an in-swinger… so literally, you’ve played two balls.

On how often he is in “the zone,” and how he gets there:

I would say 50% of the time I’m in that zone. Sometimes I am there instantly, sometimes I get there through a couple of shots, and sometimes I’m fighting to get that feeling. You focus on your breathing and all those kind of things. But it’s not a guaranteed formula that works always

On whether there’s a direct correlation between “the zone” and the runs he scores:

Not really. You might be feeling unbelievably good, but you still get out. Sometimes you are not feeling good, but you struggle and struggle, and the runs come.

On whether getting into “the zone” is a matter of personal enjoyment, rather than achieving an outcome:

It is. But I would want an outcome.

On his “switch-on/switch-off” process:

Switching on happens automatically. I know that I am going to be playing in three weeks, so I better start doing something. I get restless. Even if I am holidaying and not doing anything—training, jogging or going for walks—I feel uneasy. It’s become part of me now. Whether I am playing or not, I need some activity and that helps me to be normal, otherwise I am a little restless. I like to go and hit a few balls, even if it is for half an hour. I need to see the ball coming towards me and get used to that pace and bat swing and body moving; that’s critical.

To switch off is not an instant process. It’s only possible when I know I have a month and a half when I’m not doing anything, and I’m spending time with my children. That’s when I actually switch off and I stay away completely from cricket. I do normal things, like any father, any family man.

[B]On the challenges of being a father when he’s likely to be mobbed by fans whenever he steps out of his house:

It’s a little unfortunate that I can’t take [my kids] out for evening walks, or whatever. In Mumbai, if I had to go out and be a normal father… it’s not possible. We go on holidays and that is the time when I look to spend as much time with them as possible. My son loves cricket, and I can play with him in Mumbai, because it happens in a controlled environment.

On playing with his son Arjun, 11:

He bats. He bowls a bit, too. But he enjoys cricket and that’s more important. Nobody has forced him into cricket, it’s by his own choice. As long as he is in love with cricket, it’s fine. Then you don’t look at your watch or count the number of hours you’ve practiced. It’s the sheer joy and satisfaction of being on the field. And that’s what I want [for him]. I believe cricket starts from your heart and then it travels up to your brain as you grow older. First you have to be in love with the game, and my son is in love with cricket.

On how he, raised in a middle-class home, transmits values to his kids:

I think it has a lot to do with interaction. My father never told me what was right or wrong. He guided me, but most of the things I learned came from watching him. He never told me that I had to be humble, I just watched him and I said, “This is how I want to be in life.”

The most important advice he gave me was when he said, “Most things are temporary, your cricket will also be temporary because at some stage you will stop. But something that stays permanently with you is your nature, the person you are. So try and be a good person. People will appreciate that even after you’ve stopped playing.” So I try and tell my children the same thing.

[B]On the financial rewards he has reaped from cricket:

When I started playing for India in 1989, I remember our entire tour fee was 50,000 rupees (approx. $1,000 in today’s dollars) which included four test matches and four one-day games. And today, per test match, it’s possibly 15 times more. When I signed a contract with [sports management firm] Worldtel in 1995, we decided to do it to make my life easier, to ensure I did not have to compromise on my cricket by spending an extra minute thinking about commercial things. I wanted to be completely focused on the game, and let someone else managing the rest.

Mark Mascarenhas [the CEO of Worldtel, who was killed in a car crash in 2002] never said, “If you do this or that, you will make more money.” He said, “Just think of how to score more runs, the rest you leave to me.” And that was the best formula for me because I just wanted to think about cricket, nothing else. I do [advertising] shoots, but not at the cost of compromising on my cricket.

At no stage did I feel I would have to make compromises to earn an extra buck. I’ll give you an example. There was a company which wanted to sign a contract with me during 1996 World Cup, to put their logo on my bat. But I had already played the first two matches without a sticker on the bat: I was used to the way it looked, and didn’t want to change that in the middle of the tournament, didn’t want the distraction. So I said, “Offer me whatever, I’m not signing this contract.”

On how he plans for his future:

My planning is only done match by match. I don’t plan too far ahead, I’ve never done that. At most, I plan for the next tournament or series. I believe in approaching my targets step by step, and don’t look at the larger picture.

On other sports icons who inspire him:

I have followed lot of sports. In Formula 1, I like Michael Schumacher. I’ve followed tennis quite a bit, right from Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe to Roger Federer now. I never felt that I should be like them. You admire all those sportsmen. I love the way Federer plays: it’s incredible, but I’ve still got to be myself.

Sachin's been stumped just once in test cricket...:shock: that's an impressive achievement for a man who comes down the wicket to spinners....

[VinodKumar's]

I could not see the video in office ...Was he stumped in Vaughan's ball ??? I want to see if ever Dravid was stumped in test cricket.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

He was stumped by James Foster in Ahley Giles' bowling....It was the series where Nasser Hussain infamously advocated the use of a negative line against Tendulkar. It wasn't a great tactic as Sachin plundered 307 runs in 4 inngs at an average 76.75 and ended up getting the man of the seires award. He repeated this with a man of the sries award for the one day series as well where he got 266 runs in 6 matches. Coming back to this match, this was the official cricinfo report


Ashley Giles eventually won a lengthy duel with Sachin Tendulkar, dismissing the Indian maestro for 90, and Virender Sehwag is the last man out for an entertaining if chancy 66.Sehwag played and missed often enough to keep the bowlers interested, while at the other end Giles maintained his leg-stump line as Tendulkar played him with watchful caution.

The tone changed, though, when Sehwag decided to go after Giles, and the crowd roared their approval as he went down the pitch to hit the Warwickshire left-armer over midwicket for four. Not to be outdone, Tendulkar emulated the stroke before sweeping Giles for another boundary in an over that eventually cost 12 runs. But the change of policy ultimately failed him, as he gave Giles the charge in his next over, missed and was out stumped for the first time in his meteoric Test career.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

AF, LM why dont we start collecting videos of sachin's series by series. That would give us an opportunity to discuss the value of each of sachin's innings be it a fifty, a ton or even a valuable 30 or 40....wat say....We can start from this series between India and England.....

[Arvind Srinivasan]

I want to see if ever Dravid was stumped in test cricket.

Interesting trivia this. Dravid's also been stumped just once and that too against the same Ashley Giles but with Alec Stewart as WK. This was again in 2002 albeit in the historic Leeds test match of the return series in England where each of the big 3 got hundreds.....

AF, LM why dont we start collecting videos of sachin's series by series. That would give us an opportunity to discuss the value of each of sachin's innings be it a fifty, a ton or even a valuable 30 or 40....wat say....We can start from this series between India and England.....

We need to catalog the videos we have and it's a long pending job :| Once I do that, we can start discussing them, I think.

[VinodKumar's]

Thanks for the information Arvind. Sachin was bowled in Vaghuan's ball in the same series. I remember he missed a milestone athu double century ah illa century ah nu therla. Antha series lam "Azhagiya kaana kaalam".

[Arvind Srinivasan]

^ Sachin was bowled by Vaughan for 92 in Nottingham, 2002. It was the fourth test match and from what I remember Vaughan got quite a few wickets in that series.....Epic series that, with contributions from each of the big 3.....Always loved the days when Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly played together in their peak...As you said " azhagiya kanaa kaalam"...:)

[VinodKumar's]

I used to fight lot with Sachin fans those days in my hostel though I never wanted him to get out :lol:.

'I've never wanted to prove anything to anyone'
Sachin Tendulkar talks about the year ahead for India, and the need to stay in love with the game
Interview by Sai Mohapatra
July 11, 2012

You are not part of the squad that is going to Sri Lanka. Are you at a stage where you can actually pick and choose between series, looking at the kind of workload you are in for - big series coming up next, England and Australia?

No. I basically requested the BCCI that I wanted to spend some time with my family. That's the only reason I'm not going. This is school holiday time for my children. I don't get to spend much time with them. Looking at the rest of the calendar, it becomes difficult, and to match that with them bunking school to spend time with me… And after this for about next ten months they will not be able to spend enough time with me. So I made a request for a break.

After the World Cup you said you don't have any batting aspirations anymore. Don't you want to prove anything to anyone?

I never wanted to prove anything to anyone ever. Not that it is only post-World Cup, because that would send wrong signals. I never thought I am out here to prove anything to anyone, but yes, one big target was winning the World Cup. Other than that my only aim was to enjoy the game of cricket. I have grown up playing cricket. I haven't done anything else in my life from a professional point of view. Cricket has been my life, my passion. I just want that to continue.

You have pretty much ticked all the boxes - part of a World Cup-winning squad, India winning series abroad... A phase for you to now go out and just enjoy yourself and nothing else?
Yes. Even while doing that - playing cricket in various countries - I had fun, but when you win it gets even sweeter.

You take a lot of pride in playing for your nation. I have that terrific feeling and privilege of playing for India for the last 23 years and it's been a fantastic journey. I have no complaints at all. There have been ups and downs, and it makes you a better and strong person, it teaches you so many things in life around cricket, just as a person.

There has been an evolution in your batting, from an ultra-aggressive batsman to controlled aggression. Are there times when you think of possibly going back to some of your best years - 1998 etc - and telling yourself "I want to live that life all over again"? Deep down is there an internal competition there?

Yes, every season you always feel towards the start of the season: How do I approach the season? What is it that I can bring to the team? And this year it's no different. Always I want to do something special with the bat and to do something which I look back at after a few years and say, "Yes the season was a great one."

For any player who has played for 23 years, there are several impediments - injury, loss of form, lack of motivation, fatigue. What do you reckon you need, to be able to be at the top of your game? What is that you need to guard against?

In my case, lack of motivation was never a problem. I can't speak for anyone else. From a cricketer's point of view, you've got to be madly in love with cricket. Once cricket has started from your heart - for first it needs to have a solid foundation in your heart - and gradually from that solid foundation I believe you start building as you grow up, start playing more matches, play better standard of cricket; then gradually it finds its way to your brain and you start figuring out how to score runs and how to take wickets. But if cricket is not in your heart then results are not that great.

Rahul Dravid quit recently, and before that some of your contemporaries like Anil Kumble and Sourav Ganguly quit too, leaving you in a situation where you play with a number of youngsters. How important is it for you to invest in relationships, to get partnerships going with them?

It's important to know each other's nature, each other's personality, how they react to various situations, and it only helps when you have made an understanding in guiding each other when you are batting. You need that guidance, good communication, to build partnerships. And it is there. I have played with the current lot for some time, and there was one stage when I was already a part of the Indian team for six years when Rahul and Sourav joined me. So in every generation this process has to take place. I can say that I have played with all of them, so that understanding is very much there.

VVS Laxman and you are perhaps the last two remaining of that old school, for whom Test cricket is top priority. When you look at the current lot, who do you reckon the responsibility lies on to take your legacy forward?

To make someone like Test cricket, it has to [come from] within. There is no set formula that you have to do certain things and then you start liking Test cricket. I grew up dreaming about playing for India - that was the biggest thing I wanted to achieve: to play Test cricket for India and to do well. Every practice session I went out, I was prepared to work as hard as any of my coaches wanted me to; the only thing I wanted was an India cap. If anyone is prepared to do that, I would love to have him in my team.


"Always I want to do something special with the bat and to do something which I look back at after a few years and say, "Yes the season was a great one"

Yes, maybe there are individuals around who feel, "If I don't play Test cricket I don't miss much." You need not force them into [something] they don't want to be. If someone wants to be [in Test cricket] then he will find his way, will be ready to push himself as hard as anyone to realise his dreams. I don't like to push someone to like Test cricket and make him like Test cricket forcibly. I would just keep those two individuals separate.

More than the talk about having a batting vacuum once you and Laxman eventually quit, possibly a bigger problem for India is not having a great bowling combination. You need a pack of bowlers who can consistently take 20 wickets to win you matches. Isn't that the bigger challenge for India?

Yes, to win matches outside, you need an all-round good side. You need to, for sure, pick up 20 wickets. You might not have to use 20 wickets while batting to win matches but you have to pick up 20 wickets while bowling - there is no short cut, no option. All I can say is that it just can't be good batting and bad bowling and vice versa. Also, backed by good fielding.

I remember we played a Test match in Zimbabwe in 2001-02, and we won, in Bulawayo, where not a single hundred was scored, not a single five-wicket haul was taken by any of our bowlers, so that was a clear-cut indication of good team work. So in all departments you need to make sure you have done your job.

Everybody is waiting for another debut for you - as a Member of Parliament. How are you looking at that responsibility? You have always stayed away from controversy - no distractions, only focused on your cricket. But if at all it comes to taking up a stand, be it political or otherwise, are you in a position to do that?

I look at it as an honour - it's a nomination; I have not fought an election. When your name gets nominated by the president of India… I have been nominated because of my contribution to cricket for the last 22 years, which has brought me here. I cannot ignore that all of a sudden. I am an active cricketer, I will be focused on cricket. But when the time is right I will look into all those things.

This is something new to me. It's not that I will overnight bring in a lot of changes and be involved in various things. I don't want to give that impression to anyone. I will be focused on cricket for sure.

Up next are two big-ticket series - England's and Australia's tours of India, and New Zealand's tour of India before that. With a good show at home, India realistically has a great chance of regaining the No. 1 ranking. How much does becoming No. 1 again mean to you?

We can't get that far ahead and start thinking of being No. 1 again. Yes, everyone wants to be No. 1 but there are certain steps that you need to take. You can't forget the process. First we play New Zealand, so we are going to be focusing only on New Zealand and nothing else. And then the England and Australia series. We can't jump to the month of March; that way you lose your focus.

To be focused on the present is the most important factor, and that is what not only me but the entire team would want - to achieve those results which will make us smile. Everyone is expecting that we will give our best, entertain everyone with good competitive cricket.

This interview was conducted in Herzogenaurach, Germany, at the headquarters of Adidas, where Tendulkar placed the shoes he wore during his 100th century in the Adidas walk of fame

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Guys. I've finished collecting the set of Sachin hundreds available in the net and would like to post them in commemoration of the great man's achievement of 100 hundreds. There are around 12 hundreds of his which are completely unavailable. Hopefully we get to see them in quick time.

To start with- His first international hundred. The famous 119* vs England in Manchester. A match saving ton and his first in the 4th innings.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P_sdYPh71I

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Continuing with the SRT century series with his second international hundred. An unbeaten 148* vs Australia in Sydney



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEdtSngkahY.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 3- 114 vs Australia, Perth. A century that actually reaffirmed the emergence of an all time great. A knock that is rated his best by SRT himself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE9v8y-jypU

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century no.4- 111 vs South Africa, Johannesburg : Another wonderful innings where he had to face likes of Allan Donald on a fast paced wicket. The master also passed 1000 runs in test cricket in this innings.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjcsYYMeiQI

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century no. 5: 165 vs England, Chennai- The great man's first international ton on home soil and the first of many scintillating knocks he got to play at Chennai.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlst0LO2bo0

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 6 : - 104* vs SL, SSC-Colombo and Century No.7- 142 vs SL, Lucknow are one of the few Sachin hundreds that are not available in the net. I've sent requests to many video uploaders regarding the availability of these two innings. But am yet to get a positive response.

So we move on to Century No. 8- 110 vs Australia, Colombo- Sachin's first ODI hundred.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1Yr0ZUqie0

Well there was a 7 minute video available earlier. But due to copyrights violation, the only one left is this.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 10- 179 vs WI, Nagpur- Another case of a truncated video. There is no other version of the innings available in the net

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 11- 105 vs West Indies, Jaipur and Century No.11 - 112* vs Srilanka, Sharjah ( Sachin's first sharjah century) are again unavailable.

So coming to Century No. 13 - 127* vs Kenya, Cuttack- Sachin's first WC century. Helped in India getting a resounding win and also started out a great tournament for the master

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZF-7s0SgKo

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 14- 137 vs Srilanka, Delhi- A wonderful innings which went in vain because of some great batting from the SL openers and some poor bowling from the Indians. It was Sachin's second ton of the 1996 World Cup , a tourney in which Sachin had a staggering aggregate of 523 runs at an average 87.16....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WeZf9fFPMA

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 15- 100 vs Pakistan, Singapore- This was Sachin's first ton against Pakistan, which unfortunately wasn't enough to see India cross the line. A meager total of just 226 was posted which was easily chased off by the Pakistanis batsmen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO8AXtz84q0

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 16- 118 vs Pakistan, Sharjah - A match winning hundred from Sachin which also helped India post its first 300 + score in ODIs.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 17: 122 vs England, Edgbaston : A test hundred that is rated one of his best. This was what cricinfo said about the innings...

Faced with the task of setting England a testing fourth-innings target, India collapsed to 219. Tendulkar alone stood between them and defeat inside three days. As the European football championships kicked off at Wembley on that Saturday afternoon, the little master from Bombay tried to distract attention by making his ninth Test hundred with a scintillating display of strokes all round the wicket. Before he skied Lewis to Thorpe he scored 122 from 176 balls. The next-best score was Manjrekar's 18 - made with the help of a runner, after he sprained his ankle in the first innings.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 19 - 110 vs Srilanka, Colombo - This was sachin's first match as captain and he sparkles with a great knock. But unfortunately apart from him nobody else contributed and the match was eventually lost.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exkRr38hpcA

The video is a tad short, but I guess it has all the boundaries...

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 20- 114 vs South Africa: Sachin's first century against South Africa, a team against which Sachin doesn't boast his best average but has some great innings to speak of.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0GGgWGHbME

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 21- 169 vs South Africa:- Another great century against South Africa. The innings was so great that ,Allan Donald couldn't stop applauding. This was what he had to tell about the innings.

The best knock I can remember him playing was at Newlands in 1997, when he was just unstoppable. We only got him thanks to a blinding catch by Adam Bacher off a hook shot, otherwise he would have gone on and on. Under Hansie Cronje we studied hard for a Tendulkar weakness. We thought he might be vulnerable, especially early in his innings, to the ball that is bowled from wide of the crease, coming back in off a good length. He might then be bowled through the gate, or be lbw, especially on English wickets. We also tried peppering him with short balls - not many top-class batters like that - but it didn't really seem to bother him.

Century No. 26: 148 vs Srilanka , Mumbai: Sachin made it 3 in a row against the Srilankans albeit this time in his home ground

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKXnOKon0vQ

#RARE# VIDEO this. But again the quality is horrendous.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

The next five centuries from Sachin were all against one opposition, the aussies. No one dominated the side like he did in those three months and each of the five innings were classics in their own right

Starting off Century No. 27: 155* vs Australia, Chennai: A classic case of a rampaging champion winning his side the game. It was the battle of wits between Sachin and Warne and in the end it was the latter who was outwitted
This was what Ian Chappell had to say of the innings


It's rare enough that in the middle of the fourth day a Test match is evenly poised. To then have one team's champion facing his opposite number with the game hanging by a thread is heaven for a cricket fan. That's the way it happened in Chennai in 1998. Sachin Tendulkar was facing Shane Warne with India and Australia both battling for supremacy. The defining moment came just after lunch, when Warne went round the wicket with Tendulkar having just passed his fifty. In the lead up to the Test, Tendulkar had approached former Indian allrounder Ravi Shastri and asked for advice on what to do when Warne adopted this ploy. Shastri told Tendulkar: "You must find an attacking method to combat Warne when he comes round the wicket." Tendulkar then spent four days in the nets with a spot outside leg stump scuffed and former Indian leggie L Sivaramakrishnan bowling round the wicket into the footmarks. When Warne made his move round the wicket, Tendulkar took to his offerings like a kid offered a lolly-shop gift voucher. A brace of sixes and fours from lofted sweep/pull shots to the midwicket region convinced Warne to abort this tactic. Tendulkar's preparatory work had proved to be a masterstroke. Tendulkar won the battle and India went on to win the war by 179, just a few runs in excess of the maestro's second innings contribution of 155 not out. This was a battle of the champions to savour.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH9Efkt4D-0

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Century No. 28: 177 vs Australia, Bangalore: Sachin notched up another ton in the third test of BG Trophy. Sachin scored 177 of 281 balls, an innings which contained 29 fours and 3 sixes. On the second day morning especially he was impossible to contain, when he scored 60 off 64 balls.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I8kxtG0A6M

Sachin's overall stats for the series read - 446 runs in 5 innings with a staggering average of 111.50

I never thought it would come to this but Kohli is well on course to beat this record here.

Kohli in 2012/SRT in 1998/ODI (http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/253802.html?class=2;spanmin1=01+jan+2012;spanval1= span;template=results;type=batting;view=match)



(Greatness achieved)
Till 01 Jan 1999
207 200 20 7728 143 42.93 8924 86.59 21 43 8 770 97

Now I am throwing an open challenge. Even Viv's record of 1700+ runs was overhauled by Youhana in 2006 but this record will stay forever. I will be stunned, shocked and amazed if this record is broken. 1894 runs in just 34 matches with 9 100's and 7 fifties with a S/R of 102.15 in this year alone. His average notches up again by 4.30 points. Australia was murdered in Sharjah and in the Champions Trophy.

Has got an excellent start to his ODI career, hasn't he? More than this record I feel he can beat Sachin's ODI hundreds tally if he plays consistently. He' got 12 hundreds in 84 innings already.. He might not have this consistency, but there's no denying that these are some amazing stats he's notched up.

[littlemaster1982]

How many ODI's we've got in the rest of the year? 4 ODIs in this series itself, and?

Stan, Not sure whether you noticed this or not. Sanga has already reached 1000 runs in ODI in 2012.

[ajithfederer]

Checked Sangakkara's record after your post. Yes, he has crossed 1000 runs (http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/50710.html?class=2;spanmin1=01+jan+2012;spanval1=s pan;template=results;type=batting;view=match) @ an very good avg of 45. But he has taken 24 Inns to cross 1000 whereas Kohli's feat is astounding. I Checked India's fixtures in cricinfo and India don't play more ODI's to allow kohli to achieve this feat which is quite a shame.

[ajithfederer]

No ODI's against NZ.
ODI's against England are only in next year.

baas, the next ODI vs. SL is the last ODI India is playing this year.
Eng in India ODIs start only in January.

In 2011 he made 1300 runs, but that's because there were plenty of ODIs to play.

[ajithfederer]

Pak is coming here later this year. And bcci can very well pull sl for another 5 match series. Matter adhu illa kohli has maximized his potential :clap:

New Delhi: Sachin Tendulkar attended the Rajya Sabha for the first time on the opening day of the Monsoon Session on Wednesday. The batting maestro called on the President at Rashtrapati Bhavan during which the first citizen briefed him about Parliamentary procedures.

Tendulkar described the interaction with President Pranab Mukherjee as "highly enjoyable and educative".

Tendulkar and Rekha were nominated as the Rajya Sabha members on April 26. The 39-year-old cricketer had taken oath on June 4.

"It is a new experience for me," Tendulkar told reporters after his maiden presence in the Rajya Sabha.

Tendulkar attended the Question Hour which was adjourned after obituary references because of uproar over Assam violence and alleged desecration of BR Ambedkar's statues in Uttar Pradesh.
