The best innings Tendulkar has played since WC2011

[Deleted_User_1]

In terms of context, this is the best he has played in the last 2 years or so. The match was in the balance, and until he got out it seemed like India was going to fight back hard. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPd8M6PCgkI]Sachin Tendulkar 73 v Australia 1st Test MCG 2011 - YouTube[/ame]

I agree. This was Sachin's best innings post WC 2011. Some superb shots - 2 cover drives and one straight drive. It would always pain me how we gave away that test match. We were 213 for 2 in reply of just 333. Sachin was cruising and Dravid was hanging on. Yet we lost that test match. This loss rankles me in the same order as does Barbados 97. If Sachin had survived for next morning we would have had that test match and whole series could have been different.

I remember this test match..once again unlucky Sharma was the main culprit

[Pagalpanti]

Watching those highlights, we were so nicely set by SRT and RD.. wonder where it went wrong.. :((

God how i would love to have Lawry commentate on Tendulkar's last test.

[zaqw222222]

I think along with this knock he played two more good innings against WI in delhi and Mumbai

This is something I have thought many times. If somehow he went on to score a 100 there, his career would have taken a different route and India would have had a better tour Down Under. Oh well.......................

AGree....and in ODI's ,the innings against SL and Pak in those kohli specials in hobart and Asia cup were the last real flashes of the old SRT.

[Laaloo]

I despised Dravid doing this match. Saale dusre hi din out ho gaya tha. waha pe jaake thappad maar ne ka mann kar raha tha :mad:

[gaurav92]

Sachin's 94 at Wankhede and his 80 at Perth was good too

Sachin's 94 at Wankhede and his 80 at Perth was good too

That would be Sydney.

Sydney might have been a ptta but the scoreboard pressure was immense. It was a pity that he fell to Clarke there.

yeah his p`ship with laxman gave us some hope but it was a super patta,the scoreboard presssure did us in

[Pagalpanti]

In Sydney even Gauti scored some runs, I almost thought that was it but fecking Clarke had other ideas. :((

[gaurav92]

Yes Sydney not Perth.

[sekhar]

An interesting fact that in that whole series patto, harris, hilfenaus, siddle, starc all bowled really quick (around 90 miles/hr) and create problems for our ageing players..After that i have never seen these guys bowling that quick against any other team(starc might be an exception)..Infact siddle was bowling like a trundler in the ashes :giggle:

[Scarves]

Watching those highlights' date=' we were so nicely set by SRT and RD.. wonder where it went wrong.. :(([/quote'] Siddle bowling a no ball. Got him riled up and he just bowled Tendulkar with a gem. From there I think that's where the tide turned for the whole series.

Sydney and Adelaide were the flat decks with a little grass to help the bowlers. Perth was bouncy and quick as heck.
