Getting the 100th century at Lord’s will be special for Tendulkar says Andrew Strauss – Cricket News Update
England’s Test captain, Andrew Strauss, believes that it is going to a very special moment for the batting-maestro, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, if he gets his 100th international century at Lord’s, in the first Test of the four-match series between England
and India.
One of the most awaited Test series is going to begin from July 21, 2011, at Lord’s. This is going to be an interesting encounter to watch for cricket fans all around the world because England and India are the two best teams in the longer version of the
sport.
Both the teams have everything to lose in this series as India is the number one ranked Test team of the world and if http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 and company beat the world champions, England will take over the coveted spot.
Sachin is currently sitting on 99 International centuries, as he has scored 51 hundreds in the five-day format of the game to go with his 48 tons in One Day International cricket. Ironically, the little-master is yet to score a Test hundred at Lord’s.
Strauss expressed that all the cricketers want to perform well at Lords and Sachin has a great opportunity to achieve yet another landmark if he scored a hundred in the first match of the series.
"Every cricketer's -ambition is to score a hundred or take five wickets at Lord's. It would be a fantastic way for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 to reach 100 hundreds," opined Strauss.
Apart from this, the Test match at Lords is going to be a very special event for cricket, as it is going to be the 2000th Test match in the history of the game, and on top of that, it is going to be the 100th match between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
While talking about the prospect of achieving this milestone, the batting legend is cool as always and is not showing any kind of nerves. Tendulkar said that he just intends to enjoy the game in England and will take the records as they come along the way.
"I'm just thinking of enjoying this tour, the secret to any performance is not chasing records," Tendular said.
