Asia Cup

[The Speaker]

If Tendulkar makes it in this innings, it will show just how worthless this "achievement" is.

Tony can release his product - Sachin got his 100th 100th

 

[Tassieboy]

However, I feel the stars will align today and he should score well and probably hit a ton. Everything seems on the money.

Quite an astute judge

 

[Underarm]

He got it. Lame.

 

[Cooldude]

Happy for Sachin and well deserved, but it was an embarrassment to see him limp his way there and could only do it against Bangladesh

Hope he has the monkey off his back now and go on a run, don't want him to be remembered for choking his way to the 100th

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I'm glad he got it this way. Quite fitting.

 

[Dr Pangloss]

I'm glad he got it this way. Quite fitting.

How so? Nothing to prove especially to us.

 

[Drummond]

I'm glad he got it this way. Quite fitting.

Haha this is exactly how I feel.

 

[glenferry23]

well done to sachin for finally getting this out of the way. now hopefully he can go back to batting as usual without the burden of this hanging over his head everytime he bats

 

[ioppolo]

How is Shahadat Hossain playing international cricket? Bangladesh surely have better options.

It isn't a barb at Sachin, more at the Indian team and their penchant for looking like heroes again once they're back in Asia facing weak opposition.

Really good ton, though...

That's been a weak barb at Tendulkar for years, for most his career he averaged higher batting outside his country than at home, possibly still does

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Hence why I explained it was aimed at India.

Sheesh, they come out fast..

 

[dumb]

i can remember reading opinions on watson's 185* vs bangladesh from indians. they weren't too complimentary. delicious ironing, etc

Kind of fitting that he got it against the Banglas, the worthlessness of the achievement was only magnified. He was playing not too bad in Australia without getting the big scores. Now that he's got the monkey off his back hope he scores some consistent runs and retires on a high which he deserves. Personally I even forgot that there was an Ind v Bangla match today

1/95, bangladesh not going all that briskly but still only 1 down. long innings by tamim would go a long way toward a BD victory, especially since the al hasan, mahmudullah and rahim trinity is still in the shed.

Not as fast as the classic Tendulkar knockers who love to discredit what this man does, and I'm an Aussie, I have no real reason to defend Tendulkar. Stupid snide comments people make about such an incredible player is sad, not aiming at anyone in general

TBH Tendulkar gets a lot of undeserved flak because of his stupid fans (well not all of them but many) which is kind of unfortunate for him cause there is nothing much that he's done wrong over the years.

 

[dumb]

al hasan goes after playing a blinder (49 from 31). BD need 66 from 46 with some handy bats still to come. could go down to the wire... or bangladesh could just collapse.

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

I'm glad he got it this way. Quite fitting.

I think it's about to get a little more fitting

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Mammoth shot from Rahim all but seals it. What a knock by the captain (and the ex-captain).

 

[dumb]

indeed. 16 from 12 balls goes to 5 from 11. lol. bangers have this one in the bag barring something crazy. couple of awesome innings by the experienced players.

 

[Blue Dimension]

Great to see Bangladesh notch up a win. They gave the Paki's a good run for their money too.

 

[dumb]

why am i seeing sachin being called 'master blaster' around the traps?
