It was a great moment when Sachin played a marvelous inning and broke the record of Saeed Anwar. Charle also reached the same stage.....not out, but Saeed Anwar was first to reach there. It was important
for a player like Sachin's stature to reach to this destination. Last time, I felt bad when even after scoring 175 against Australia, India couldn't win the match...so could have been the feeling of Sachin...I was hurt that he was almost there yet so far.
Yesterday too, I couldn't dare to go to see the match, thanx to my superstitions...that if I reach home to see the match, Sachin may get out sooner....Sahwag was already in pavilion. We stayed in offices and tracked the match on http://www.cricinfo.com/ or http://www.cricbuzz.com/ ... when Sachin crossed 150...the hope was building. Now, we were stuck to a mobile, turned into Radio...We all were accumulated at Nitin's place...Rahul, Amit, Anindya, me...others also joined in a short time.
Sachin was great while reaching to 190...and then slowed down a bit...but it was obvious that he is on fire and today, he'll make the history with all his commitements. God is with those who make their ways against the strides....and Sachin was true fighter. He completed 200....Dhoni was too wonderful and it was very clear that S. Africa has lost the match.
God of the cricket, Sachin Tendulkar has reached to a stage where any body else could reach, looks impossible. A salute to Sachin....on reaching to this milestone.
