Even Sachin missed his century his name will remain lasting for centuries
good win this, one set in motion in the field when Sri Lanka lost nine wickets for 74 runs and slumped to 239. Nehra, Jadeja, Harbhajan and Ishant did the hard work then, and after a rousing 44 from Sehwag, Tendulkar patiently made an unbeaten 96. The fans wanted a century from him but he didn’t manage one.
Personal records should not matter, because the real victory is that India have taken a lead in the series.
India won the third One-dayer comfortably in Cuttack on Monday but an over-zealous Karthik finds himself at the centre of a debate on whether he should have allowed his senior partner Tendulkar to complete what could have been his 46th ODI century.

Every one who Love INDIA and CRICKET ,even my mood was shattered when Sachin missed his century but think well before you Blame Karthick.if he wouldn’t have gone for that 6 he would have been in trouble because he was finding it a bit difficult to defend Randiv
…J!th!N…
in the match in which ganguly scored 183 , if i remember after Dravid’s wicket sachin came..at that time ganguly was hitting well..Sachin came and never even trid to get the strike..he got out @ 1 trying to work on onside jst for giving Ganguly strike..
and u r telling IMAGINE sachin wud hit a six wen DK is on 96 ??
Don’t even think like that……..hope you know the meaning of GOD.
YAJIV…
Just cheer up that we won and the God is in great form!! Stop blaming Karthik.. He played well today!! SachinIndia
yesterday he didnt want it ….he had enough strike by his abilities to get it..and he didnt…even gavaskar was saying he should have gone for it..or atleast taken the powerplay….he just didnt go for it….
Kathick consults his Senior, Tendulkar, and he tells him that should he stay, play his natural game and advice to watch out for the yorkers from Malinga.
If Sachin Tendulkar was an ordinary man he would have kept the strike with him and could have achieved his 100.Like Dhoni Did it in the Test match against Sri Lanka,he got a great 100 and he has the record on the board that he was the captain when India scored their highest Test cricket 700 odd runs,where he never gave the strike to Ojha.same way Sachin could have done it to KD because he was not really so keen to get his 100.
No wonder,you know the answer now Sunil gavaskar and that is the reason he is our GOD and this match will never be forgotten.
Even Sachin missed his century his name will be remain lasting for centuries(hundreds and hundreds of years).And so we ask ourselves: will Sachin’s game echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear his names long after we are gone, and never wonder it’s gonna happen, how bravely he played and fought, how fiercely his fans loved him and felt bad when he Got out or missed 100?
And people will be talking about this particular match for 1000s of years.

Karthick not to be blamed ,
He never tried to go for a boundary when Sachin was on 96,The choice was made by the bowler.
42.4
Malinga to Karthik, 5 wides, full down the pads, misses everything and India lead the series!
That was the Plot of Sangakara.He is the man to be blamed.
guys dont say Karthik is a heartless creature or so,some times it happens.Don’t forget he also has got his power,he was the man who took DELHI DAREDEVILS to the final of the IPL DURING EARLY 2009.HE is also way too young ,time is there for him to prove.
cheers
