It will happen. The educated world will not allow otherwise.
He won't always get a jaffa or drag it onto his stumps, two bad pieces of luck he has suffered in the middle of good innings here. He still has a few international hundreds in him.
Is this the bit where I don't get the joke cos it's in another language, and everyone has a giggle? Genius.
I think Sachin is trying to prove all his critics/haters wrong who blamed him for scoring 100s in losses........... now that India has lost 5 tests on the trot overseas and .... and no 100! TAKE THAT YOU BLOODY HATERS! He has stopped scoring 100s in losses.... are you happy now????????
Lol! It sounded better in urdu! Was just wondering when did you become such a huge indian fan and in particular a follower of the god that is sachin ramesh tendulkar?
Are you after a IPL contract too??
I give the fair credit out according to my opinions, and say it as I see it. Both an objective and subjective approach, but no more than yours or anyone elses
They are Pakistanis. You praise Indians a bit and they'll come hard at you. Anyways,you are good enough to handle them I guess.
Your team anyways will crush them in UAE.![]()
Doubt it! but in any case it cant possibly be any worse than the "crushing" india are receiving at the mo down under![]()
Let's see what Chhota Bhagwaan can do tomorrow.
India staring defeat in the face...perfect opportunity to get some meaningless runs.![]()

Jaaali note.....![]()
You've already labelled them as meaningless runs so what's there to see? oh wait..if he fails it's yet another choke![]()
It wouldn't suprise me if the Reserve Bank of India issues a new RS100 note.
Naah Rupee's devalued enough thank you![]()
I guess 500 centuries are out of the question.![]()
Sachin fans who are waiting to see his 100th century soon, are fooling themselves. Two very powerful groups hugely benefit every time Sachin fails to score the elusive 100.
Bookies are in betting heaven right now. Every time he goes to bat, since his 99th 100, the bets on him scoring 100th 100 hit astronomical figures.... for example...

http://cricketnext.in.com/news/betting-hots-up-on-tendulkars-100th-ton/58955-13.html
Why would bookies want him to score the 100th 100?
After seeing the fan's turn up at Lord's (to see him scoring 100th 100), Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Melbourne and now Sydney.....why would BCCI and other Cricket boards would ever want him to score that 100? He is bring in Indian fans to the stadiums like nobody else.... just because fans want be present for the historic moment.
Why would BCCI & other cricket boards want him to score the 100th 100?
Any match fixing going on?? .... may be!![]()
Pakistanis and conspiracy theories
http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn...d-the-power-of-pakistani-conspiracy-theories/
Are you saying Indian bookies and BCCI do not benefit every time Sachin fails to score 100th 100?
Kind of good for the neutral he is still in overnight, what a ludicrously one-sided test matchI mean 600-odd for 4, that's embarrassing
Even England at their worst did better than that in Australia.
No chance of a draw IMO, but an SRT record will cheer up the Indians to the point they will neglect to analyse how bad the team are, which is really sad.
REally dont understand the hate..and anybody calling Tendu selfish is stupid...!!!
'It is about putting the team first' - Michael Clarke
Daniel Brettig at the SCG
January 5, 2012
Where others saw records or dollar signs, Michael Clarke could only surmise Australia's chances of victory. In declaring on 329 not out after a stand of 334 with Michael Hussey, Clarke gave his side half the match to round up India a second time, and had taken two choice wickets in the form of Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid before the close.
Against a nation that has a well-entrenched fascination, even obsession, with individual run-scoring achievements, Clarke's decision drew plenty of post-play questions about why he had not gone on in pursuit of Brian Lara's 400, or even surpassed Don Bradman and Mark Taylor only five runs further on from his tally. But Clarke was adamant that the pursuit of the win came first.
"I didn't think about it at all, I didn't have Don Bradman or Mark Taylor's score in my head whatsoever," Clarke said. "It was about trying to get the team to a number, a total I thought would be a good score to make a declaration, then have a crack this afternoon to get a couple of wickets.
"I think it is about putting the team first, that's why we play. What I love most about this game is seeing this team win. I've always been like that as a player and I'll be no different as a captain. If it was best for the team to continue batting I would have continued to bat."
While he stopped short of such records, Clarke could be content with the highest Test score ever made at the SCG, surpassing RE Foster's 287 for England more than a century ago. He said the magnitude of his innings would not sink in until the match ended, preferably in victory for his side.
"I don't think it'll sink in properly until we win the Test match," Clarke said. "That's why we play, that was my goal walking out there today. Don't get me wrong, I'm stoked that I've managed to make 300-odd runs in this Test match, but the most important thing for me now is we win the Test.
"That was a big part of the reason for my declaration. I spoke to Huss just before we declared and I really wanted him to make 150, he deserved it, and once he got that I thought now we have a 450-run lead, it is a good time to pull up stumps and try to get a couple of wickets tonight.
"I didn't expect to score 300 in one innings, so the fact I've done that I'm stoked, and [as for] all the other records, I'm happy where I sit to be honest."
Clarke said the most testing aspect of his innings was simply to sustain his energy and concentration over nearly two days of batting. His previous first-class best of 201 not out for New South Wales had receded a long way into the distance by the time he had finished.
"Batting the amount of time for me [was the toughest thing]. I've never batted that long in any form of the game in any team in my career," he said. "Physically I felt pretty good, when I came to the ground I felt pretty fresh, and my body felt in a pretty good position. It's just the mental application and concentration that you need to have."
Clarke's application has if anything been enhanced by the captaincy, and he is now doing great things in the role to earn the respect of his team and the Australian public. The former captain Mark Taylor has said vice-captaincy can be difficult when the leader is a figure a legendary as Allan Border or Ricky Ponting, but Clarke said he had appreciated the apprenticeship, too.
"I've said it a million times and I'll say it again, it's about respect, continuing to earn the public's respect and that's all I've ever wanted," he said. "People are going to dislike me, that's life, the way it is, but the most important thing for me, especially being the Australian captain now, you want your home fans to respect you, so that's all I've ever asked for.
"I enjoyed the vice-captaincy a lot. I thought it was fantastic to sit underneath Ricky and learn as much as I could from him, learn about leadership, learn about captaincy, learn about what it takes off the field to captain Australia. That probably opened my eyes to leadership more than anything else.
"And I've enjoyed this challenge. It's an honour and privilege to captain Australia, there's a lot that goes with it, but I'm enjoying it at the moment. The team having some success obviously makes life a lot easier. We've got a lot of talent out there so that makes my job a lot easier as well."
Hussey's own 150 was put in the shade by Clarke, much as anyone who batted any length of time with Don Bradman had been. But he said he had simply enjoyed the chance to bat alongside Clarke for 334 runs, and to witness the SCG's highest individual tally from the other end.
"I don't really mind [being overshadowed]. I said to Pup out in the middle I was honoured and privileged to witness and be a part of that," Hussey said. "It was a fantastic innings and one I'll remember for a long time, I'm sure Pup will as well, and one that got our team into a very strong position in the Test match, that's what I'll remember about it."

Wright says Tendulkar 'felt let down' at Multan
A high voltage behind-the-scenes drama was sparked off in the Indian dressing-room by Rahul Dravid's abrupt declaration in the Multan Test which left Sachin Tendulkar stranded only six runs short of a double century, the then coach John Wright has revealed.
Tendulkar, batting on 194 in the first Test against Pakistan, left no one in doubt that "he felt let down", Wright said in his just-published book John Wright's Indian Summers, disclosing for the first time the tense moments the Indian camp went through although publicly every effort had been made at that time to play down the controversy.
Acknowledging that the team managament had a "hot potato on our hands", Wright said he spent a sleepless night whereas captain Sourav Ganguly, who missed the Test because of an injury, was worried that the issue would snowball and end up dividing the team. Wright says no one could be blamed in particular for the situation which could have been avoided had he himself been able to convince Dravid to declare earlier.
"Midway through the final session, Dravid declared, as you do when you're 675 for 5. What Indian captains don't tend to do, however, is declare when Sachin Tendulkar is on 194 not out. The matter became a full-fledged sensation when Tendulkar told a press conference he was disappointed not to get his double century."
Wright said had he been the captain, he would have declared a lot earlier, allowing Pakistan to face about 25 overs and with Tendulkar on about 170. But the former New Zealand captain also pointed out that Tendulkar needed to "move on" after tea when things got slow. "Dravid wanted less time in the field, but got caught a bit betwixt and between. At tea he told the batsmen he wanted 15 or 16 overs at the Pakistanis, and after tea a couple of messages went out. As I sat there watching the innings grind on, it crossed my mind that Tendulkar needed to get a move on," Wright continued. "A final message went out saying they had one more over. Then Yuvraj got run out going for a quick single and Dravid called them in."
Wright felt there was fault all round. "I should have convinced Dravid to declare earlier and he should have grasped that it's one thing to declare when a batsman's 170 or 180, quite another when he's 194. And Tendulkar should have pushed to get there quicker." Once Tendulkar publicly expressed his disappointment, Wright knew they had a "hot potato on our hands".
"I talked to Dravid, who agreed that he had to have a chat with Tendulkar before things got out of hand. That combination of steeliness and serenity, so evident in Dravid's batting, is the mark of the man: nothing fazes him. He's a mature and intelligent individual; all the hype and fuss goes over his head because he can stand back and put the issue in perspective."
Tendulkar, Wright felt, "felt let down". "He'd been playing for India since he was 16; he'd stood up for his country in bad times and tough conditions, and often been the only man to do so. Having given so much for the team, over such a long period, he probably thought this was one time the team could give something back to him. Even the greatest have their goals and dreams and milestones, and a double century against Pakistan in Pakistan would have been a memory to treasure. After a sleepless night, I spoke to Tendulkar who confirmed that he'd wanted the team to cut him some slack. Then he and Dravid talked it through and resolved the matter."

It is utter retardness to think he is not selfish about records!
do u think Clarke would have declared if he got 394*?
Sachin felt dissapointed as would everybody.there was ZERO reason for Dravid to declare at that point
Would've, should've, could've....we all know that song!do u think Clarke would have declared if he got 394*?
Everybody???Sachin felt dissapointed as would everybody.there was ZERO reason for Dravid to declare at that point

Are you calling Dravid stupid/retard or what...... ???? That he did not know what he was doing when he declared?there was ZERO reason for Dravid to declare at that point
wats the harm in giving it a chance?its a matter of two overs.if he got out,fair enuff.Would've, should've, could've....we all know that song!
What if... a batsman can get out trying to get those six runs? Sehwag bagged a two ball pair in England... so how can you say Sachin would have gotten his 200?

wats the harm in giving it a chance?its a matter of two overs.if he got out,fair enuff.
not a retard or anything,but it was a mistake n he later admitted it
It is not about Dravid...... it is about Sachin throwing his toys out of the pram at missing a 200....and a few retards believing that he does NOT CARE about records!

This isn't Tendy's fault, but I guess it's a reflection of what has been talked about in relation to each team - for India it's been all about Tendy's 100th 100 while on the other hand you have Clarke declaring the inning closed with his personal score on 329* on a wicket flatter than a roti with 2 1/2 days to play. It's not Tendy's fault but so far this quest for the 100th 100 has defined India's tour of Australia, rather than an India series win.

everybody cares about records as long as the team objective isnt sacrificed.I'm sure I saw tears in Clarke's eyes wen he got to his 300.it doesnt make anybody selfish as u guys put it.its wen personal records r preferred over team goals,thats wen a cricketer can be called selfish,n I know no such incidents about Sachin,do you
Throwing his toys?? all he said was he was suprised as he was the middle and was let down........

Are you this naive or you think other people are stupid???
YEs... Indian don't talk about his 100th 100..... they take action!![]()
Throwing your toys of pram at missing a meaningless record IS selfish!
