Australia’s wicketkeeper batsman and vice-captain, Brad Haddin, claims that his team will try utmost to keep the Indian batting legend, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Tendulkar, away from scoring his 100th international ton during the ongoing 4-Test home series.
Haddin admits that the God of Cricket’s long-awaited century, if comes, will be a great historical occasion, but the Oz bowlers will not let it happen on their pitches.
At Day 2 of the opening match yesterday, December 27, the Master Blaster again failed to convert his quick fifty into the awaited century. He played exceptionally well, hitting 8 fours and one six to score 73. Unfortunately, Peter Siddle’s fiery delivery
in the last over of the day heralded the legend’s fall.
Haddin, who is playing the 40th Test of his career, was jubilant to see Sachin walking towards the pavilion as he asserted after the match that it was a nice moment to watch the world’s greatest batsman’s back at the end of the day, terming this
wicket as a significant breakthrough for the Kangaroos.
Talking to the media, the glovesman said, “Tendulkar's wicket was very important. He is a great player and it was a special 70. It was good to see his back towards the end of the day.”
He further told, “It will be a big occasion for the game if he scores his century but it is our job to ensure that it drags on as long as possible.”
It was for the second time within almost a month that Tendlya retired at the brink of century. During the 3rd and final home Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 last month, the legend went out for 94 runs.
However, the batting guru still has at least seven innings in this series to score a triple figure. However, the hosts are h**l-bent to prevent him from accomplishing this hallmark.
With 22 years in international cricket, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 great has 184 Test matches to his name. Some cricket analysts argue that Sachin will hang his boots soon after completing hundred hundreds. However, Tendulkar is confident that he can play competitive cricket
by at least the 2015 edition of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket World Cup.
