Do you think Sachin's innings would have been sweeter

I would have been shattered if he didn't make 200.199* ...no way..

Lookin' at the way Dhoni was bludgeoning the ball, I was kinda skeptic if he wanted SRT to get to that magic figure at all. But all credit to Dhoni. 1) He was cool. 2) He knew SRT was cramped up, so he had to take most of the strike. 3) Still, he had to allow him to get to 200.. I thought, Dhoni remained uber-cool (all the way). If I were in Dhoni's shoes, I'm sure I would've gotten tensed up.. But no, he ain't 'Captain Cool' for nothin' :D . He also ended up getting a cool 68* in the process. Dhoni

....If he had been stranded on 199*? Just a thought really.. :hmmm: Its a bit like Bradman's test average.. The fact that he scored a duck in his last inning that left his career average on 99.94, probably added a lot more aura to his legacy than it would have if he had actually scored those 4 runs and averaged 100+ Who knows, maybe a 199* would have been more talked about in the long run, than a 200*?

MORRIS:mad: Bradman was human so his imperfection Sachin is GOD he is perfect...

It should have talked if no one in future reached 200... I think this is the Begining we may see More 200,s in future...may be from sachin himself or sehwag or some one else.... this is just like Breaking 400 total in ODI...it happened many times in last few years....

Agree. I don't think this record will stand for a long time A few years may be, but not for a a decade. It will get broken sooner than most people think, but what can and won't ever change is his His Highness King Tendulkar was the first to do it.
