1. 136 vs. Pakistan at Chennai - the equivalent of Gavaskar's 96 at Bangalore. Brilliant innings against spin and reverse swing : http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63828.html 2. 111 vs. South Africa at Johannesburg - Just look at the scorecard below and the bowling attack : http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63587.html 3. This was Tendulkar at his imperious best at Edgbaston : http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63713.html 4. Of course, the Perth masterpiece. If you get a chance look at this innings to execute the cut and pull shots : http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63567.html 5. If an innings is looked into purely as an innings, without match context attached, this is the best execution of strokeplay I have ever seen - and I've watched Richards and Sehwag live : http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63795.html 6. You want to grind someone to dust? Do this at Sydney : http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64062.html 7. The epic Chennai chase : http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/361050.html 8. To show the strong defense he had at the age of 17 : http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63524.html 9. An unusual top 10 pick I admit, but the flow of those runs was irresistible : http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63988.html 10. Putting this in because the track was still seaming and Azhar played the better knock. But just again the sublime beauty of strokeplay : http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63826.html I've taken liberty to divert from the thread title - these are not necessarily my top 10 of Tendulkar's innings, but a top 10 of his innings which I loved watching from Tendulkar.
