Sachin Tendulkar 175 vs Australia | Hyderabad 2009
Scoreline: 175 (141) in a total of 347. 19×4, 4×6
Most Sachin fans would probably regard his 143 at Sharjah vs Australia – the sandstorm match – as his best in ODI cricket. India lost that game too but his knock ensured a place in the Final on that occasion. So no one really cared about the result.
Tendulkar fans on their own rarely give a damn about whether India wins or not, but it’s the cynical oh-he-can’t-finish-a-game barbs from the fringe wankers that makes one desperately crave for a result/purpose to be attached to any Tendulkar innings. Personally, through most of the ’90s, I rarely watched India bat once Tendulkar got out. And then I grew older and among other garbs, donned the enjoy-the-game one that acquired pretentious proportions whenever Tendulkar had had a bad day.
So how good was this knock. Memory can be unreliable and so comparing your excitement levels in two games on either end of a decade can be fuzzy. Especially when hormones existed in your body only during one of those games. The Australian bowling attack in the 1998 game had relatively better names – Warne in particular bowled super despite going wicketless. But I doubt they bowled any better than McKay, Watson, Bollinger, Hilfenhaus and Hauritz did in this particular game. In fact, Watson handled Tendulkar’s stepping-out attempts to Kasprowicz him, much better. You add a higher total to the chase and I’d think this is his best ever in ODIs (thus far).
