Tendulkar to miss Hamilton ODI
Cricinfo staff
March 10, 2009
Sachin Tendulkar will miss the fourth one-day international against New Zealand in Hamilton on March 11 because of an abdomen injury. The Indian team management will monitor his fitness and he has not been ruled out of the final ODI on March 14 as yet.
Tendulkar sustained the injury when he was hit on the stomach by Iain O'Brien during the second match in Wellington. However, he played the third game but aggravated the injury during his innings of 163 off 133 balls. He was in visible pain and had to retire hurt at the end of the 45th over. Tendulkar went for scans on Monday and they revealed swelling and bruising.
The news is a blow to India for Tendulkar has been solid at the top of the order with scores of 20, 61 and 163 in the series. With him missing, Gautam Gambhir will open with Virender Sehwag and Rohit Sharma is likely to make a comeback.

Christchurch: Sachin Tendulkar who scored his first century on Kiwis soil had a surprise guest during the innings break.
Sachin Austin, a seven-year-old boy from Christchurch was lucky enough to meet his idol Tendulkar on Sunday. Little Sachin Austin went home confused yet happy.
Sachin's parents Nick Anholt and Veda Austin have no Indian ancestry or connections with India, but for this cricket-crazy Kiwi couple naming their son was a no-brainer. “I always liked the name and knew he (Tendulkar) was going to be one of the greats,” Anholt said even as his son met up with Tendulkar in the innings break.
It was the first time Sachin had been to watch an international match, and he not only got to meet the man he is named after, but witnessed one of his biggest innings.
In the few minutes he spent with his fan, Tendulkar did his best to make Sachin feel comfortable, but the glare of TV cameras and flashes had an inhibiting presence on the youngster as he received a sheet autographed by every member of the Indian team.
“I am happy to get this autograph and I am proud to have his name”. “I want to be a cricket star when I grow up,” was all the third grader from New Brighton School could utter, after some prompting from his visibly proud dad. Characteristically pithy, Tendulkar said, “All the best, do well,” before ruffling his little fan’s hair and walking away.

World Cup coin released
Sachin Tendulkar, the man with the Midas touch, finds his face on a World Cup limited edition commemorative gold medallion. The quarter ounce, 24 carat medallion, issued jointly by the Corporation Bank and Societe Generale to commemorate the 1999 World Cup at England, sports the embossed face of Tendulkar on one side and the slogan "Support India 1999" on the other. The medallion, made of 24-carat gold and priced at Rs 4500, was launched by Kapil Dev, the captain of the 1983 World Cup champions.
The coin depicts the face of Tendulkar on one side and the words, `Keep the faith' and `Support India' on the other. The medallion is designed by Australian Stuart Devlin, who is also the man behind the commemorative coins of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.Tendulkar, who was there at the release function on Friday night, said: ``It's great feeling and I will always keep it (the coin) close to my heart he added. Also present on the occasion were Tendulkar, Robin Singh (sr), Ajit Agarkar and the skipper of the 1983 World Cup winning Indian team, Kapil Dev.
Asked about his feelings on the medallion, Tendulkar said: "I am really very honoured. I would like to keep it close to my heart and try to follow in Paaji's (Kapil Dev's) footsteps and bring back the World Cup. "It does not matter whether cricketers win it or athletes and wrestlers do, as long as they win it for the country. So I am happy it (the medallion) is for everybody," Tendulkar said.
Hoping that Tendulkar would recover from his back injury soon, Kapil said, ``I am not a betting man and I don't bet on cricket but still I offered to pay Sachin Rs 1,000 if he could play for the country continuously for ten years, and he got injured six months after the deadline ended'', said the former skipper.
Tendulkar, who was standing next to him, retorted: ``I have still not received the money.''
