Asia Cup 2012: Mohammad Mahmudullah hopes Sachin Tendulkar has to wait for his 100th century – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, who has been in pursuit of his elusive 100th international century to wait some more.
The Bangladeshi skipper said that he would like to see the Indian achieve this milestone but not against his side. Sachin’s wicket is always a big prize and Bangladeshi players would love to see the back of him as soon as they can.
Mahmudullah said, “Sachin is a great batsman and everybody is waiting for the rare record but as a Bangladeshi player I will not love to see it happen against us and hope we can send him back early.”

The best way for Bangladesh to pull off an upset is to restrict India below 250 and then hope their batsmen chase down the total. For that to happen, Bangladeshi bowlers have to make early inroads.
Mahmudullah said, “http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 have very strong top order batting, so we have to make sure that we get early breakthroughs as well as keep up the momentum if we want to do anything against them.”
India has a clear advantage over Bangladesh, winning 21 games out of the 23 times that these two sides have collided in limited overs cricket. The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bengal-c771 Tigers last won a game against India in March 2007 at Port of Spain.
Beating the defending champions will take some taking, but despite the odds stacked against them, the Bengali vice-captain is confident of a good show against the Indians.
Mahmudullah believes http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mashrafe-Mortaza-c1917 will have to play a key role, if Bangladesh is to defeat the Indian team. He said, “We all know Mashrafe bhai has always given us a good start against India and I hope it will happen again. Everybody will try their best
in the match against India but definitely the expectations will be high for him.”
