Aaha, Sorry about that LM.
I've never watched any shot from this innings.

I have this innings (26 mins long). Remember those Sachin the Great episodes? This innings was a part of it.
I'm a member of acrossthetasman too :) Will check out.
Did you watch this now? In a way this innings is the start of his amazing second run, though he scored two 90s prior to this series against SA.
Read an interesting fact, may be known to all here :) but would like to share.. as we all know, sachin was involved in the famous 664 run partnership with Kambli before entering international arena, he scored 329* in that innings. Astonishingly, he was playing in two games at once. While he scored that triple century, his other team was fielding one man short. Then, he changed grounds, left his first team with 10 fieldsmen and scored 178 not out for the other team.. This is ruthless cricket at its best..
Welcome here nvikky :) I have read that Sachin used to play two games simultaneously, but I don't think he did so during that epic partnership. The tournament in which he scored that 326* was an important one, it might not be possible to play like that.
nandri master.. read this in ESPN legends of cricket book.. even i was surprised as it was an important match..but andha book la potadhaala thought it might be true..
Ohh, should be true then.
i wish him the life of benjamin button after 10 years.
Wisden honours Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar has been named Wisden's Leading Cricketer in the World for the year 2010, it was announced on Wednesday. The Indian batsman is the seventh recipient of the Wisden award.
Unlike the winners of Wisden's coveted five cricketers of the year, it is possible to be named the world's best in the almanack more than once. Tendulkar is making it an Indian hat-trick, after Test opener Virender Sehwag took the honour in each of the last two years.
Tendulkar, 37, in the 22nd year of his international career, made more than 1,500 Test runs and seven Test hundreds, including an unparalleled 50th overall, in the year 2010.

Wisden 2011
Evergreen Tendulkar feted by Wisden
Cricinfo staff

Wisden 2011 features four Cricketers of the Year, instead of the usual five © John Wisden & Co
The 148th edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, launched today, reflects on a year of dramatic contrasts for the game, from the soul-searching that accompanied the Pakistan spot-fixing scandal at Lord's, to the near-perfection of England's Ashes campaign in Australia. But between those extremes, one of the game's most constant presences is recognised for attaining new heights of brilliance.
In 2010, Sachin Tendulkar enjoyed a year that even by his own exalted standards was phenomenal. He hit over 1,500 Test runs and seven Test hundreds, including an unparalleled 50th. Tendulkar also became the first to hit a one-day international double-hundred. Wisden acknowledges his greatness by naming him as the Leading Cricketer in the World for 2010.
It's the first time Tendulkar has won the award since it started in 2004, although Wisden 2007 identified him as the player who would have won such an award for 1998 - had it been devised then. Ramachandra Guha traces the three phases of Tendulkar's career, and reveals that he is held in such esteem by the Australians that they do not sledge him; and by his team-mates so that the Indian dressing-room, once riven by turf wars and petty jealousies, is now calm.
With the ongoing criminal investigation restricting Wisden's reporting of the spot-fixing affair, the decision to name just four Cricketers of the Year instead of the usual five is a subtle but damning verdict on a summer that turned sour. Elsewhere in the book, Paul Kelso carefully pieces together the events before, during and after the England-Pakistan Test at Lord's last August, while Rob Crilly visits an illicit gambling den overlooking the slums of Lahore.
Crilly's arresting first-hand account brings to light a murky world that will prove difficult to dismantle. "The den was in full swing the day after Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif had received lengthy bans for their role in the spot-fixing scandal. Yet nobody thought the punishments would help clean up Pakistani cricket." One of the gamblers could hardly have been clearer: "I don't think this will put people off getting involved in fixing."
Writing from Pakistan on the reaction to the sanctions applied to the three Pakistan cricketers by the ICC, ESPNcricinfo's Osman Samiuddin reveals the power of denial. He reports on how Mohammad Amir, especially, was greeted more as a rock star than a cheat, and how the actual events were lost in the world of feverish conspiracy theories.
If England's home season was utterly overshadowed by the affair, they made sure that their cricket made all the headlines in Australia three months later. In his fourth year as Wisden's editor, Scyld Berry hails the team's Ashes performance by saying it was "hard to think of a sizeable human organisation that has come closer to perfection for a couple of months than England's cricket team during the Ashes".
Their achievements, however, were immediately undermined by the ensuing limited-overs series that saw England play two Twenty20 internationals and seven one-day internationals, before flying half-way round the world to pause for breath at home - and then, four days later, heading for the World Cup. "Unsurprisingly," says Berry, "the players, especially the bowlers, fell like flies."
The former England captain, Michael Vaughan, and the former Australian legspinner, Kerry O'Keeffe, complement the Almanack's coverage of the Ashes. "The key difference," Vaughan believes, "between the two teams lay in their spine. England had an excellent pair of opening batsmen and opening bowlers, a very good wicketkeeper in Matt Prior, and a captain who led by example." By contrast, the "Australian attack had no X-factor". O'Keeffe castigates the Australians for their poor preparation - "a little like swimming the English Channel to tune up for the London Marathon" - and berates the Aussies' lack of determination: "England counted their batting in hours (and days). Australians looked at minutes."
Despite those exploits, only two of England's cricketers make Wisden's Test team of the year - James Anderson and Graeme Swann. Instead the side is dominated with players from the No. 1-ranked team in the world, India, with Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, VVS Laxman and Zaheer Khan bring their contingent to five. For the first time since the Wisden Test XI began in 2008, there is no room for an Australian - but there is a Bangladeshi, with Tamim Iqbal having been chosen by a panel comprising Ian Bishop, Ramiz Raja, Ian Chappell and the editor, Berry.
The 2009 Wisden Test XI 1 Virender Sehwag (India), 2 Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh), 3 Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka), 4 Sachin Tendulkar (India), 5 Jacques Kallis (South Africa), 6 V. V. S. Laxman (India), 7 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (India, capt & wk), 8 Graeme Swann (England), 9 Dale Steyn (South Africa), 10 Zaheer Khan (India), 11 James Anderson (England).
As one of Wisden's four Cricketers of the Year, Tamim becomes the first Bangladeshi to secure an honour that dates back to 1889. The other recipients are Eoin Morgan, whose innovative strokeplay added a new dimension to England's one-day cricket; Chris Read, who captained Nottinghamshire to a memorable County Championship triumph and Jonathan Trott, who announced himself as England's most consistent run-scorer in both Tests and ODIs.
For the first time in its history, Wisden gives proper recognition to the photographer's art, with Scott Barbour winning the inaugural Wisden-MCC Photograph of the Year award. Will Vanderspar, from Eton College, is the Young Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year, while Eric Midwinter's synoptic history of the game, The Cricketer's Progress: Meadowland to Mumbai is the winner of the Wisden Book of the Year award.

When many people say how many of Sachin's hundreds have come for a winning cause, here is analysis of each of those centuries he scored when INDIA lost and reason why it went in vain.
Sachin Tendulkar gets to yet another century but India end up on the losing side - How many times have we seen that?
While there would be the Tendulkar bashers and critics who say that India lose a match whenever Sachin scores a century, the statistics prove otherwise.
Out of the 48 hundreds, We won 33 , Tied 1, Draw 1. And we lost only 13.
1. 137 off 137 (Strike rate 100) balls Vs SriLanka at Delhi in 1996 World Cup.
India scored 271/3 in 50 overs. The only other 50 score was from Azhar. SL made 272 in 48.4 overs. Manoj Prabhakar had 4-0-47-0. He also opened in the innings and scored 7 of 36 balls.
2. 100 of 111 Balls Vs Pak in Singapore - Apr 96.
India 226 all out in 47.1 overs, When Sachin was out score was 186/4 (We cant blame because next 3 are match fixtures). Pak had a reduced target of 187 from 33 overs.
3. 110 of 138 Balls (Slower but...) vs Sri Lanka In Colombo - Aug 96
Again India 226 for 5 in 50 overs, Only other 50 score from Azhar (58 of 99 balls !!!). Sachin has also bowled 6-0-29-1, the second most economical bowler and the only wicket taker (SL were 230/1 in 44.2 ) of the match next to Srinath. Seven bowlers were used by Azhar.
4. 143 of 131 Balls (!!!) Vs Aus at Sharjah, Apr 1998
This was chasing under lights. The qualifying match before the final. The whole world knows about this match. Still one interesting point, when Sachin was out India were 242 at 5 at 43 overs. Target was 276 in 46. Still India finished at 250/5 scoring just 8 of the next 3 overs.
5. 101 of 140 Balls against SL at Sharjah , Oct 2000.
Indian score was 224/8 in 50 overs. (No other 50 score). SL got 225/5 in 43.5, Sachin also bowled 5-0-22-0, better economy rate than everyone except Srinath.
6. 146 of 153 Balls against Zimbabwe at Jodhpur , December 2000
India made 283 / 8 in 50 overs. Sachin was the last man to be dismissed, score was 235/8 at 46.3 overs when he was out. Agarkar and Zaheer Khan propelled India to 283 in the last 3.3 overs.
When Sachin has scored 146 of 235 in 46.3 overs, you can guess what the other 8 great batsmen were doing against the World class Zimbabwe attack. Second Highest scorer was Zaheer Khan with 32.
Zim got 284/9 in 49.5 overs. Kumble bowled the last over. Sachin also got 6-0-35-1
7. 101 of 129 Balls Vs SA at Johannesburg , Oct 2001
India got 279/5 in 50, Ganguly made 127 of 126 balls. When Ganguly got out, the score was 193-1 in 35.2 overs. Sachin was the last man to get out at 263. SA got 280 in 48.4 overs. Sachin bowled 9-0-51-0, second best in economy rate next only to Agarkar (10-0-45-1)
8. 141 of 135 balls Vs Pak at Rawalpindi, March 2004.
India were chasing 329 and were 317 all out in 48.4 overs, 8 balls to spare. No other batsman made even a 50 (when chasing 300 ) and when Sachin was out, India were 245-4 in 38.4 overs. They needed 85 from 68 balls with 6 wickets in hand.
9. 123 of 130 Balls Vs Pak at Ahmedabad, April 2005.
India made 315/6 in 48 overs (48 over match), again no other 50 score. Second highest was Dhoni 47 of 64 balls, (third highest was extras - 39). Pak made 319 in 48 overs. The three quicks (Balaji, Nehra and Khan went for 188 runs from 26 overs between them taking only 2 wickets). Sachin bowled 6-0-36-1. No Harbhajan and no Kumble.
10. 100 of 113 Balls Vs Pak at Peshawar, Feb-2006.
India were 328 all out in 49.4 overs. Pathan and Dhoni got 60 each. When Sachin was out when India were 305-5 in 45 overs. Managed only 23 in the last five overs. Pak scored 311/7 in 47 overs and won by D/L method. Could have been anybody's game. Sachin did not bowl.
11. 141* of 148 Balls Vs WI , Malaysia.
India made 309 /5 in 50 overs. Sachin was not out. Pathan was the only other 50 scorer. WI made 141/2 in 20 overs and won by D/L method. Again could have been anybody's game.
12. 175 of 141 Balls vs Australia at Hyderabad, 5th Nov 2009.
India needed 351 to win. And at the End, lost by 3 Runs. Spare a thought for Sachin Tendulkar. He seemed to have done everything possible but didn't last the final lap. Only Raina scored along with him…made 59…and other Players just Enjoyed Sachin’s batting.
13. 111 of 101 Balls Vs South Africa at Nagpur , 12th March 2011.
India were 267/1 and at the end all out for 296. When Sachin got out after scoring 111, India only managed to score 30 Runs with lost of 9 Wickets.
This Proved how good Sachin’s hundreds were! Hope people will stop laughing now.
In other 35 Instances , We won 33 , Tied 1, Draw 1.
Just to add to this fact...he already has 14 scores in '90s... Many of which has resulted in an Indian victory.
If we look at the centuries scored by Sachin while chasing are better then the others.
Below is the list of players scoring centuries while chasing :
SACHIN --> HAS DONE IT --> 14 times
PONTING --> HAS DONE IT --> 08 times
LARA --> HAS DONE IT --> 07 times
INZAMAM --> HAS DONE IT --> 03 times
Sir Viv.RICHARDS --> HAS DONE IT --> 03 times
DRAVID --> HAS DONE IT --> 02 times
Now , let us see what Sachin has done for India's cause when he has gone past 50 but not a ton. Out of the 93 times Sachin Tendulkar has scored a fifty, India have secured 56 wins while ending up on the losing side 35 times. Two games were without the Result. Digging deeper, India has won 28 times whenever Sachin has scored between 70 to 99.
Who has scored the maximum number of tons in winning causes for their respective teams.
Sachin’s critics will have their mouths tightly shut because the master tops the chart with most number of tons resulting in a team's win. Most of the time he stayed unbeaten.
Sachin : 33 Hundreds --> 13 times he was Unbeaten.
Ponting : 25 Hundreds --> 8 times he was Unbeaten.
Jayasuriya : 24 Hundreds --> 5 times he was Unbeaten.
Ganguly :18 Hundreds --> 10 times he was Unbeaten.
Hope everyone will understand Sachins stats and hopefully the worth of Sachin's 100's would not be discussed again.
To people for whom the above stats are not enough then SACHIN's...
*** 21 years of cricket is not Enough...??
*** 48 tons aint Enough...??
*** 33 TONS in WON-Matches ain't Enough...??
*** 14 TONS in WON-Matches "while-chasing" ain't Enough....??
NOTHING is Enough.....
...coz.... They got two know abt cricket ----- SINCE LAST WEEK..!!!
Note: The reason for this was to stop people debating about sachins stats.
Anyways hats off to all ignorant indian cricket lovers who do not have any proper analysis of the game.
Try to watch the game with some education i mean game analysis and try to stop making useless and proofless statements.

This 'Sachin scoring 100, we lose' propaganda had started very recently IIRC. Previously, cricket fans would forego a loss if Sachin scored a 100. At least avaravadhu 100 adichaarennu sandhoshapaduvom.
Idhai vera orkut/fb la sachin dhan kandupudichaarnu perumai peethitu irukaanga. Seriously yaaru kandupudicha enna?.
no. it has been there for a while since 1996.. only thing is, earlier, it was like when Sachin scores the highest score of the match (at least for India innings), we tend to lose... IIRC, this started in 1996 WC where he was the highest scorer in most of th matches but few we won..
127* Kenya - won
70 WI - won
94 AUS - lost
137 SL - lost
65 Sl (semis) - lost
but it is absolutely ridiculous to blame him...even when the epic 175 against Aus when chasing 350 was blamed that he should have finished the match.. he scored 50% of the runs at a very good strike rate but still cited for the defeat by few people..
630+ matches. God knows how many shots he has played. In future, whoever invents whatever shot, it might be possible to unearth a similar shot played by Sachin in the past, which probably has zilch to do with the new shot invented but die-hards can make a claim using the vague resemblance that GOD only invented it. Not to be taken seriously.
