Brad Haddin claims Sachin's hundredth ton is not on their minds - Cricket News Update
The Vice Captain of the Australian cricket team, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, from scoring his much-awaited hundredth international ton.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 is touring Australia for a four match Test series, while the focus is on cricket, there is a side story of Sachin reaching the elusive 100th century in international cricket, which the pundits feel he will reach in Australia this summer,
while others feel the burden of expectations attached with the record have left the batsman jittered.
The 34-year-old wicketkeeper of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607’s historic century has not come up for discussion in practice sessions, while he did opine that they did not want the batsman to reach the record on Australian soil.
"It's exciting, the prospect of him scoring his 100th hundred for the fans and everyone involved in the game,” said Haddin while speaking to media reporters at the mandatory pre-match practice session ahead of the first Test of the four-match series starting
in Melbourne on Monday, December 26.
“But we haven't discussed anything about his hundred and with a bit of luck, we don't give him the opportunity to get there," he further added. 
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 wicketkeeper batsman also expressed his confidence in the new look Australian attack. Answering a question on the playing XI for the series opener, Haddin said: "We've picked an XI that we think is confident to rip through this Indian
side.”
Haddin singled out http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 was the best in Test cricket.
He also lavished praise on rookie spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nathan-Michael-Lyon-c78822 and singled him out as a “real quality spinner” of the future.
"Nathan is a work in progress. He's getting better in every Test. We've got to be patient and in the next few years, we'll see a real quality spinner,” said the Australian wicketkeeper who has played 39 Tests so far and averages 36.18 with bat in Test matches.
