Lee's pace almost carried it for a six.
Another Record to Gods name
Guys i just realised that SRT has equalled Allan Borders record of scoring 50 or 50+ runs in an innings
Both are placed at 90 after todays innings (51 fifties + 39 hundreds) !!!!!!!

New Delhi, Oct 29 (PTI) The Delhi and District Cricket Association today felicitated Sachin Tendulkar for becoming the highest run-getter in Tests.
In a simple function held before the start of the third Test between India and Australia at the Ferozeshah Kotla stadium, DDCA President Arun Jaitley presented the star batsman a pair of shoes and congratulated him on crossing 12000 runs in the longer version of the game.
Indian opener and Delhi captain Virender Sehwag was also present at the function.
The 35-year-old Tendulkar surpassed former West Indies captain Brian Lara's record of 11,953 runs during the second Test against Australia which India won by 320 runs in Mohali. PTI

Tendulkar one of most well-behaved cricketers: Ranatunga
T V Sriram
Colombo, Oct 30 (PTI) Adam Gilchrist might have called Sachin Tendulkar a "bad sport" but for former Sri Lanka captain Arjuna Ranatunga the Indian batting maestro is one of the best well behaved cricketers he had played with.
"He (Tendulkar) was one of the nicest guys I played cricket with ... The thing I admired of him was the commitment for the game. I am very glad that he has left behind (the issue)," Ranatunga told PTI.
"I have not seen anyone who is so committed to cricket. Actually I learnt a lot from him. I was not committed enough for my batting. The result shows. I think he (Tendulkar) is a role model for any young cricketer," Ranatunga said.
Ranatunga, now the Chairman of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), said Tendulkar deserved to become Test cricket's highest run-getter surpassing West Indian great Brian Lara.
"I think he (Tendulkar) deserves to do that because of the commitment. He is one of the greatest cricketers I have played cricket with." Ranatunga feels that Tendulkar can easily play a couple of years of cricket and he should be given the luxury to decide when to hang his boots.
"I still feel he can easily play a couple of years. I think the important thing is he has to take care of his injuries. When you are getting older you are getting into all these issues.
"But he is still fit enough to play cricket. Even Sourav Ganguly, he is still getting runs. I think there will be a big vacuum when the 'fab four' goes," Ranatunga said.
"Only Sachin should decide (on his retirement). If he feels that he is not enjoying the game he should announce his retirement," he added. PTI
