http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 from scoring 100th ton in Australia – Cricket News Update
Michael Clarke, the Australian captain and a huge fan of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Tendulkar’s batting skills, wants to ensure that the Master Blaster does not hit his historic 100th international ton during the imminent high-voltage series.
The two sides are set to meet in a four-match competition, starting in Melbourne on Boxing Day, followed by three other games. Tendulkar is just one shy of his century of hundreds, and cricket lovers have desperately been waiting for his much-awaited ton.
Clarke believes that the Indian icon will be able to score his elusive century sooner than later, but wants him to smash his momentous three-figure-knock after the tour Down Under.
"That's certainly a prospect. I hope that doesn't happen. I hope he scores it in his next series. He's been an unbelievable player for such a long period of time. I really enjoy watching him bat. If he does score his 100th century, he deserves every bit
of credit and applause," Clarke said ahead of the opening encounter at MCG.
Putting a full stop to the speculations, the Aussie team management named the final playing XI for the opening Test, bringing in opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BW-Hilfenhaus-c1204 unexpectedly.
The skipper however, insisted that the selectors, including him, have picked the best possible side. He was determined and believed that the Kangaroos would start the proceedings with a bang by beating the Men in Blue in the first clash.
"I'm confident we've got the best eleven to help us win this first Test in these conditions. I can use Hussey, Ponting and myself to bowl a few overs. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 can bowl leg-spinners too. We've got the right XI to give ourselves a chance to win this Test,"
added the 30-year-old who has captained http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in eight Tests so far.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120’s dream of winning the series at home was destroyed by the Black Caps, and the young captain does not want to waste another opportunity. Therefore, he urged his guys to be consistent rather than doing well in patches, something his side did in the
just-concluded two-match series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754.
