Why a Sachin ton always inspires cricket and India

Thirty-nine and counting. Sachin Tendulkar has been the subject of many debates, about whether he should retire or not, if he was losing his touch, or if he should also be clubbed with those who have outlived their utility.

All of those debates were dumped in the trash as Adelaide rose as one to salute the best in the business.

The notable thing about Tendulkar’s 39th Test hundred was how he looked to be in a zone of his own. Not one other batsman looked half as much in command as him, which was a bit surprising on what is considered, at least as of now, to be a batting strip.

None of these things bothered Tendulkar, as he carved up his hundred in style. Beginning with a cracking straight drive, he played all the shots in his armoury. When he does that, the opposition can only watch and fetch the ball.

This knock was important in many ways. India, after the famous win at Perth, are keen to draw level in the series, so it is vital to have a big score to defend in the first innings.
