Not in any particular order. Might have missed some

1. 241* at Sachin cricket ground. Every shot of cricket was on display on that day. Sach has made three double hundreds, this has to be the best. Quite a watchful innings I might add, he was trying hard not to repeat the mistakes he made in the earlier test matches.

2. 155 at Sachin's home ground, Chennai. Much has been already said about this innings, which made Sachin cry uncontrollably. The whole country cried for that matter.

3. 114 at Perth. Toughest of conditions brings the best out of the Master. Richie Benaud could not help but marvel at the little genius. No other Indian batsmen could cross 50 in both the innings. Stunning I must say.

4. 113 at Wellington. The Indian batting was pathetic (sans Azhar and Sachin) in the first innings and they conceded a lead of ~150 runs. In the second innings thalaivar batted brilliantly around Dravid and Ganguly to push India to a respectable total. He was aggressive and calculative at the same time. Hope this innings is youtubed.

5. 155 at Chennai. India conceded a lead of 70 odd in the first innings and Sachin got out to warne. But Sach smashed warne all over the park in the 2nd innings and in fact this knock also helped India to take the lead in the series.

6. 160 at Hamilton. This man was 35 when he scored his latest? Really?! Each and every shot was vintage sachin. Was a pleasure to watch. 3rd day, first session, overcast conditions, ball swinging etc. Sachin was fantabulous.

7. 155 at Bloemfontein. Sach was in a devastating mood in this match. And IIRC, sachin had at least 3-4 upper-cutted boundaries. SA got 4 wickets in the first session but Sach started counter attacking in that session itself. He was particularly impressive agains Ntini.

8. 169 at Capetown. India had already lost the first match at Durban (?). And they were tottering at 57/5. SA were hoping to get us all out for < 100, after having amassed 500+ and reducing them to 57/5. But the master had different plans. 26 freakin' fours. Full marks to Azhar as well and remember thalaivar was the captain of the team too.

9. 92 at Trent Bridge. Again a brilliant second innings knock. India had a huge deficit of > 250 and were struggling at 11/2 when singam entered the crease. Dravid and Ganguly played well too and saved the match for us.

10. 103* at Chennai. Last but certainly not the least. Thalaivar playing a solid, cool, composed innings of 103 to see India home chasing a target of 300+.

Idhuvaa??

Idhu dhaan nu nenaikkaren, aana Singam 38 dhaan adichirukku pola irukku

3 fours and 3 sixes in that 38

I remember this match very well. Sachin was almost in "kill Olanga" mode in this match. He hit McGrath for a straight six and pulled another one to midwicket. His first six was a mishit though. Some people say he sledged McGrath after hitting the second six. From what I could remember, he was talking back angrily to him.

Soon he was caught at slips as his anger got the better of him

Got the article.

Sachin Tendulkar and Glenn McGrath went head-to-head as Australia's ICC KnockOut quarter-final against India got off to an enthralling start at the Nairobi Gymkhana Club on Saturday.

After being sent in to bat, India had reached 131 for four at the halfway stage of their innings, a score built on Tendulkar's early aggression.

Tendulkar, the world's best batsman took on arguably the world's most proficient new ball bowler in a brief but fiery contest that set one of the tournament's plum games on its way.

Tendulkar threw his bat at almost everything that came his way from McGrath. He missed more than he hit, but when he connected the ball stayed struck. He top-edged McGrath over third man for six at the beginning of the paceman's second over and in his third over Tendulkar advanced down the wicket and smashed him straight into the sightscreen for another six.

The next delivery went past mid-off for four and in McGrath's fourth over he was pulled high over square leg for Tendulkar's third six. After almost every ball batsman and bowler exchanged glares and words, but on balance Tendulkar came out of the exchanges on top. When McGrath was rested after six overs, he had conceded 40 runs, most of them to Tendulkar.

Brett Lee, McGrath's new ball partner, made the breakthrough. He found the edge of Tendulkar's bat and Damien Martyn took an excellent leaping catch at first slip. Tendulkar's 38 came off 37 balls and all three sixes and two of his three fours had come off McGrath.

Tendulkar most reliable batsman: Former Kiwi cricketers

Press Trust Of India
Christchurch, July 12, 2009
First Published: 18:29 IST(12/7/2009)

When it comes to batting for life, Sachin Tendulkar is the choice for most of the Kiwi cricketers, who rate the Indian batting maestro as the most accomplished player of his generation.

New Zealand’s ‘Herald on Sunday´ newspaper asked a few former cricketers who was the best batsman in the world and whom they would like to bat for their life?

Replying to the questions, former Kiwi Test players John Morrison and Dipak Patel picked the Indian batting ace and were all admiration for his exploits all around the world in different conditions and various match situations.

“I’d go with Tendulkar. He is still the most capable batsman in the world. He has the full array of shots too, though he might not play them as freely as he once did,” Morrison said.

“I like Tendulkar because there are guys out there brilliant on certain types of surfaces but he is adept at playing on anything. Slow, bouncy, turning, whatever -- he covers the field on all of them.

“I’d still back him ahead of everybody, even at the age of 36,” Morrison, who played 17 Tests between 1974 and 1982, said.

Dipak Patel echoed the same sentiment.

“I like Gautam Gambhir and Graeme Smith at the moment but in the end, if they were batting for my life, I couldn’t go past Tendulkar. He’s got the experience, the sheer weight of runs and best all-round game.
