"Performance is one thing, performing back to back is something else. People may call him [Tendulkar] a sitting elephant, but he& #39;s the best. He never said a word, and wanted to let his bat do the talking."

MS Dhoni takes on Manjrekar for his comments on Sachin.

A small thread.

"With Tendulkar, it& #39;s like the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about."

Sanjay Manjrekar wonders why Sachin Tendulkar& #39;s failures are not questioned by media

This statement came right after this glorious innings by Tendulkar against Sri Lanka

The runs in the series weren& #39;t upto the standard of Tendulkar& #39;s class and records. Yet everyone felt that the statement was too harsh as Tendulkar scored runs consistently in series before this.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man

Tendulkar smashed his first ODI hundred in Australia, 42nd overall.

Tendulkar (69) who couldn& #39;t win the 2nd final on same ground in 1992 delivered his best this time & stayed till the end.

This was Tendulkar& #39;s 5th hundred in a tournament final.

Sportsmanship & Calmness at its best

Tendulkar on 89, umpire asked did the ball touch the bat, he refused.

"It& #39;s always a pleasure to see him bat the way he batted. He was batting well, running well, he carries the youngsters. If he is there in the middle then you won& #39;t have too much of trouble chasing whatever you& #39;re chasing. The whole team enjoyed the innings."
