http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 praises Tendulkar after a fighting half-century – Cricket News Update
India’s former captain, Sourav Ganguly, is extremely impressed by the kind of application http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 at Kolkata and feels that the little-master is slowly regaining his batting
form.
The 39-year-old cricketer was heavily criticised in the media by a number of analysts and former players, who believe that Tendulkar has gone past his best in international cricket, with the great batsman just managing 29 runs in the
first two matches against the Poms.
India lost two wickets for 88 runs in their first innings at Kolkata, with the master-blaster coming in to bat under immense pressure. Tendulkar however, proved his class once again, negotiating the threat posed by the visitors efficiently.
The right-handed batsman scored 76 runs off 155 balls, in which he struck 13 boundaries, helping India post a competitive total of 316 runs on the board. The legendary batsman’s fans are disappointed that the cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 could
not complete his hundred to answer his critics in style.
However, Ganguly thinks that the innings could well prove to be very precious in the outcome of the game, as Tendulkar remained the innings’ highest scorer.
“Tendulkar may not have got a hundred, but he played well. It may not be one of his most fluent knocks, but it was a gutsy innings,” said the former cricketer.
During his important knock at Kolkata, the former Test captain completed 34 thousand runs in international cricket, which include a hundred centuries. However, the stylish stroke-maker has been a little off-colour since the last 18
months, failing to register a single Test century, which is a source of concern for the Indian fans.
Tendulkar’s former teammate is of the opinion that the great batsman is regaining his form and praised the way he played http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501, the two England spinners. However, the former left-handed middle-order batsman
thinks that the batting-maestro can improve his foot-work against fast bowlers.
“The knock shows he is regaining confidence,” said the former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705.”
