Tendulkar had the opportunity to do exactly the same 2 ball previously but picked out long on on the bounce.
To be fair Karthick had no fielders in the deep to worry about, Sri Lanka were clearly determined to stop Sachin getting a hundred. Would not really blame Karthick though, they put the field up so he it over it. Sachin really should have taken the powerplay but overall he was unlucky not to get a hundred, did not get much of the strike for large periods, scored at a good rate.

True.
If it were me, I'd be disappointed not to reach the 100, but I'd far rather score 96* in a victory than 175 in a defeat.

Woo! India won, and with ease. Ishant was up in the 140s once more today - although his ODI bowling still needs serious work, that is a good sign. Ashish Nehra helped pull the game back in the early overs and is proving a useful ODI asset. Jadeja was of course the star - he may be raw, but I feel that, like Yuvraj Singh, he may just about come very good in the end. We must not underrate the performance of Sehwag and Harbhajan with the ball either, as they helped wrestle the initiative away from Sri Lanka in the second powerplay onwards. Harbhajan has been a star in recent times and he continues along those lines and I have (along with most people, I'm sure) thought for a long time that Sehwag is a good off spinner who gets a fair bit of drift and turn - he should bowl more in Test cricket, on that note.
The batsmen did their thing too, but that is really, to be expected.

Yeah and I am sure Sachin would as well, he obviously values his landmarks and I have no doubt that he really wants to make 100 international centuries. but he is no way a selfish player.

Whatever it takes!!!
lol.. I thought he set it up very cleverly.. Sachin was on 96* with 2 needed to win.. Unfortunately his attempted defensive stroke went for four coz Sanga cud not dive to it and they had the fine leg up..
Was really funny to see his reaction after hitting the winning runs.. Sachin seemed extremely amused too. And I am sure he would take 96* in wins than his 150 odd in losing causes..

No 'i' in team, etc. If the shot was on, he had to take it. Can only imagine the hell he'd have caught if he'd tried to just block the ball and gotten out or any number of other scenarios.

Back up a bit.. you have a girlfriend? More surprised at this, not Jadeja winning MoTM.Bought that weeks ago. Returns my account to the state it was in before that though.

On Sachin not being able to get his 100
I would have liked to see him get one too, but not by the guy at the other end having to restrict his game. Can't blame Karthik for going for it. In fact I like it when players play w/o considering personal milestones. By playing well, if the milestone comes then it's great!
Like what many have said, Sachin would rather take a 96* in a winning cause then a 100 in a losing one
