100th 100 waits for "100"dulkar - Wishing Sachin for more...

Batting Maestro Tendulkar is all set to get his 100th ton making him the unique "Ton"dulkar of cricket.
It is heights of stupidity when there were some moron articles floating about his hundreds and team vicotries...
For those, take sachin away and see those matches, we would have lost comprehensively dudes...

just imagine a day in office for us - where we gave sleepless nights and heart-out  in the project to meet the targets and there was a critical bug in some of our peer's work and the release is stalled. we will be most disappointed and how would it be , if some near coffee corner talks rubbishly that because this gave such an effort the release is stopped .... you would wonder as what you can do more in life....:)


The recently concluded ODI series against SA in SA where there were  hardly any 250 + scores  to chase , but no one really looked like staying there except Kohli.

It was his century against England that made us get atleast one point and be comfortable in the points table.
May be now, we see some match winners in the looks of Sehwag , Yuvi et., but its sachin  who all the way from last 20+ years. As an opener , the role you are expected to do is  to set-up the match for a big score.

5 years before to now ... we had sachin and Sehwag scoring centuries to set up the match
10 years before ... we had sachin and Saurav scoring centuries to set up the match
15 years before sachin and x are scoring centuries to set up the match
20 years before sachine and y are scoring centuries to set up the match

Even now , you are not sure of good fight without sachin  on a given day . Be it a slow turning track, bouncy track , hostile swing bowling , sachin looks classy  and essy  against the rest of the best.

Probably - the only way to understand the pattern is - Sachin scores at excellent strike on any ground in this world. There is hardly any day in his life , when he scored a century at a stike rate of 60 or 70.
So, sachin gives an impression when he is scoring as if the track is a belter and 350+ is possible , but the moment he gets out suddenly the devils in the pitch start showing up and others tend to panic in the bid to take on from where he left.This is what happened even in the last match against SA.

He scored a fifty , or hundred or a hundred partnership in 150 + innings which essentially is his role as an opener in 11 member playing team. The frequency of such  innings  is just unmatchable 1 in every 2.
OOps!!! I am just talking of ODIs here. Tests some other time.

On probably a great milestone day tomorrow, we wish Sachin a great century ahead with victory for India and sets him up for another 50 tons.
