I didn't remember the endulkar saga but a quick google search yielded this, Endulkar: Sachin’s career is fading fast MOIN KHAN Posted: Jan 28, 2006 at 0055 hrs IST The Faisalabad Test will go down in the annals of history as another run-feast. But as I see the game, I fear this may just be the beginning of the end of Sachin Tendulkar, the man we all respect, adore and love because of his tremendous natural talent and humble attitude. The more I look back at his dismissal, the more convinced I get that the downhill journey for the little champion has started, because it has been established that, according to the laws of the game, he was not out as the ball had made contact with the right glove that was not in play. What is even more mind-blowing is that he did not look at the umpire and immediately started his long walk towards the pavilion. I am not willing to buy the theory that Sachin did not know the laws of the game. Having played for 16 years at the highest level and having led his country for a couple of years, Sachin knows all the rules by heart. Then what prompted Sachin to leave the pitch on which six centuries and two 90s were scored? Hostile bowling by Shoaib Akhtar, or the tension-filled dressing room atmosphere that often gets on the nerves of the batsmen who start feeling suffocated? Whatever may be the real reason, the fact of the matter is that Shoaib Akhtar literally exposed Sachin’s present-day ability against quality fast bowling during a spell that will certainly be remembered for long. Even on a dead track, Shoaib was charging in at Sachin, bending his back and putting all his energy into his deliveries. One could see those terrifying, hungry and wild looks in the eyes of Shoaib when he reached Sachin at handshaking distance on his follow-through. ----------------------------- I think its safe to say from all of us, a big up yours to moin khan.

Sorry for nitpicking' date=' he scored 95 runs in 78 balls in that match. He absolutely smoked Pak bowlers and hit 5 big sixes (most of them were slog sweeps) before getting bowled around his legs by Afridi. The 44 ball 67 was in the previous league match in which Azhar scored a century. Great innings, both of 'em.[/quote'] Yep, it was first one. He hit 95 at a SR of 120, which is very unusual for Sachin. And reg. the innings against Australia in 1998, he hit 79 off 85 balls at a SR of 90, which again, very high for Sachin in tests.
