Sachin Tendulkar : Wed Feb 24, 2010 1:06 pm  

He's just scored the highest number of runs in an ODI, and become the first player to hit 200. He did it off 147 balls.

Superb knock from the little guy.

He just keeps going on and on doesn't he?

The best batsman of the post-war era?

By a long, long way I'd say.
He's "only" 36 (37 in April) so he could even carry on for another couple of years yet. No young/er Indian batsman has staked much of a claim to replace him as yet neither so I think he'll carry on until he's got at least his 100 International centuries - which given his current form wont be much longer in coming!

I'm sure the cricketing world have run out of superlatives for this incredible batsman

I thought Dhoni was going to keep him off strike and stop him getting the 200 at the end.

Superb innings, it wasn't slogging just great strokeplay and shot selection.

amazing stuff - hope to catch it somewhere later

Always thought Sehwag would be the first through that particular barrier, but I'm glad it's The Little Master.

The first time Dhoni got an odd number of runs was the last ball of the penultimate over.
