Haha, and to think, when Lara got the record in Adelaide, all he got was a polite round of applause.

If Sachin got the record in Adelaide, I'm sure the same would be true.

Yep, me too choking here. My eyes are welled up!

 

[silentstriker]

All right, it's done. Get a century please.

Oh yeah but that's got more to do with Adelaide's stuffiness than the fact it was an oppo player. I was there and the applause almost got above a murmur, as it rarely does in champagne Adelaide. All that was missing was "Jolly good, well played suh!"

 

[Precambrian]

I dunno. Last time Sachin got a 100 there, the crowd applause lasted nearly 2 minutes. But Tendulkar captures fans which is unmatched in history, and probably ever.

Well, in some grounds in India, there would be deafening silence for an opposition player, so it's not as bad as it could be.

Sachin never got a ton in Adelaide....

 

[duffer]

Most runs in Test and ODI cricket, most hundreds in both formats. Wow, I love him so much. Cricket god, so good to see him bring up the record against the best team in the world too.

Not sure about that, people used to flock to domestic games just to see Bradman, his batting often stopping the nation.

Such a landmark always get appreciated in India. Not as mad like this, but certainly.

A billion is spellbounded by Tendulkar. I dont think Bradman had that following.

I think Ponting will get the two Test records, not the ODI though.

 

[pasag]

People think that was crazy? Should have seen what happened when Lockett surpassed the all time goal kicking record!

In ODIs case, probably never.

both have done that in their countries...may be tendulkar doing it to more number of people ..because of our huge population

Easily had the same wrap on the nation though. Arguably something similar in England as well. Obviously raw numbers like a billion compared to whatever we had back then doesn't compare.

Dude, you can't beat "He's out" headlines.
