No need for these words, IMOHonestly, I have to take my hat off to the man. Words cannot describe how incredible an achievement this really is. Even quality ODI top-order contemporaries like Hayden, Ponting, Kallis, Yousuf, Anwar and Mark Waugh could not reach this milestone...nor could anybody else over the past 40 years of ODI cricket. He might well be the finest ODI batsman ever.
I'm not particularly bothered about whether Ponting or Sobers or Lara is a greater batsman than Tendulkar - arguably they are. They're all great players and picking one is always going to be a matter of argument.No need for these words, IMO
Well, the gap between him and people like Ponting et al in ODI cricket is very close - just like in Tests, incidentally. Funny that.No need for these words, IMO

This.Lara first to 400 in Tests
Tendulkar first to 200 in ODIs
hah
I had the grand fortune of meeting him in his room at the city hotel and he really is very humble. I can write a whole piece on how humble Tendulkar is, how he deals with fans so well and is generally so nice. Thing about him I like best.Awesome Sachin. Like the Energizer bunny, he just goes on and on and on and ...you get it
Salute to the master.
It feels damn good when someone with his humility, love for the game, respect and talent makes it all count.
What do we reckon his best Test knocks are? His 155* in Chennai and his Perth knock should both be on there. Some of the purest batting I've ever seen. A lot more obviously but those are my two favourites.Some of Sachin's best ODI knocks prior to this one:
