Yes my dear people, our little master has finally done it. Our man in blue, Sachin Tendulkar touched the century mark on the last ball in the on-going 4th ODI in Vadodara, Gujarat against the powerful West Indies.
This is his 40th ODI hundred if I am not mistaken. But the best bit is that his 100 mark came in only 76 balls. Tendulkar made up his century with 10 fours and 1 six.
The other man responsible for thrashing the West Indian bowlers from the other was Mr. Dhamaka who proved his worth once again besides flashing his long hair on our television screen. Mahendra Singh Dhoni contributed 40 runs in just 20 balls, thereby taking the Indian total to 341 at the end of the Indian innings.
Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid also played a good knock scoring 68 and 78 respectively.
But the Indians still are far from winning considering the pitch to be best for batsmen and looking at the strong West Indies’ batting line-up.
Another very un-nerving fact is that Tendulkar’s last four centuries have resulted in India’s loss in those matches.
So its best to keep our fingers crossed and pray that the sun continues to shine with a positive light on our team.
Ps….West Indies are 42/2 in 10 overs. Danger man Chandrapaul has been sent back by speedster Zaheer Khan. One more wicket within next 30 runs and I am taking a sicky leave and going home to celebrate.
Ps….It’s all happening here, Ganguly is the captain. Tendulkar, the vice captain because Dravid had retired hurt. And I am going home.

actually, 41st. it was a real treat watching vintage sachin rock. he started out slow, and never did it seem that he is scoring at more than run-a-ball. he was sprinting like crazy. 76-ball century is just awesome, considering that he came 2-down and after 25 overs were bowled. aah and what to say about Dhamekadar Dhoni. He never ceases to amaze.

Sakshi: Are you OK? West Indies and powerful. My dear it’s one of the worst team in the world. Check their record in the last few years.
