Gunner_Mania Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Watching the highlights. They just don't do justice to this innings. He'z reached a century in the blink of an eye:((
Captain of Bhangra Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Ah, how sweet it is to not only get the record, but to demoralise all the Pakis that bummed off Anwar's innings for 13 years...
vvvslaxman Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Why do i see news titles like "Tendulkar broke Anwar's record" on the net. It gotta be "Tendulkar broke Coventry's record" :--D
Bumper Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Wow, what an achievement! This is the equivalent of a test match 400! Fittingly this record now belongs to the player who has amassed the max runs in this format. He is the only one who deserves to hold this record. Well done Sachin!
Kriterion Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 his career avg must have gone past 45 now...
king2be98 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Wow, what an achievement! This is the equivalent of a test match 400! Difficult to compare the two, but I'd say the 400 is easier to achieve as you usually don't have the problem of overs running out as they did today, or even maintaining a high scoring rate. In a test match you can dawdle along at your own pace. That makes a 200 in an ODI much more difficult in my opinion. You can see how it has affected guys in the past, Anwar, Gilchrist and Hayden, who all opened yet were still facing these problems. Tendulkar overcame them, great stuff.
Pak_Forever Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I am glad that it's Sachin who's the very first one to reach 200 in ODIs. There isn't any other player more deserving than this guy when it comes to records and achievements. Salute to the lil' master. :hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff:
zen Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Sachin If there is any cricketers that deserves to be ODI WC champion then it's Sachin. I hope team Ind does it for him in 2011

Laaloo Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Well well i am really disappointed !! Not that Sachin broke the record , but 1. The record was one that stood for 12 Years . So it was indeed a milestone of utmost importance. We all know Records are meant to be broken but Good records always stand the test of time.This One surely did. 2 . I firmly believe that Saeed Anwars 194 (5 6's , 22 4's ) against India in 1997(Chennai) came at a time when such scores were not imagined possible.There was no T20 at that time so no one knew a way forward for such a score. 3.Thirdly that was the only 50+ Score by Pakistan seen in that match insuriatng the fact that it wasn't indeed a placid pitch as the one that turned out for Sachin 200 (3 6's , 25 4's ) in Gwalior and 2 more half centuries at a strike rate better than 100 by Dhoni (68)And Karthik(79) .
Laaloo Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I am not trying to say which one is superior but i am just saying that Anwar making 194 ,12 years ago when batsmen did not have strike rates above 100 is a better milestone then Sachin making 200 in a match much influenced by the T20 style on a flaccid pitch. Same way i wasnt amazed at Mathew Hayden , breaking Laras record of 400 in tests simply because it came against a much inferior opposition( Zimbabwe) . And although Lara proved his worth doing it 2nd time against England .I am Afraid Saeed Anwar is no more around in the cricketing world. Well good luck to Tendulker though but i do believe that Subcontinent Boards must really start looking in to the level of the pitches they are curating otherwise we will never ever produce batsmen of such quality again .
Online Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I am not trying to say which one is superior but i am just saying that Anwar making 194 ' date=12 years ago when batsmen did not have strike rates above 100 is a better milestone then Sachin making 200 in a match much influenced by the T20 style on a flaccid pitch. Dear Attention *****: 1. Your first sentence contradicts itself as pointed out. 2. It's placid and not flaccid. flaccid is used as an adjective for something else which I won't go into here.

Sarcasm detector phir ghar bhool aaya ? :hitler: One reason why I firmly believe Maulvi's 194 was better than SRT's 200 is because Maulvi mia not only missed Maghrib, Isha prayers (Allah maaf kare) but he amassed runs during the month of May when the temperatures are soaring high which makes batting a near impossible task let aside batting for long time.
