Sachin's 143 Against Aus in Sharjah in 1998

[Rajagopk]

@IronManu77: It is Allan Border whom Aussies must thank for the start of the great run. AB is the greatest captain. If Ponting has played for India, he would have retired long back. You guys want to celebrate Ponting please do so. Are you reading your Australian papers lately? How are they treating Ponting despite all his wins? Here is one of the title in SMH "Marsh return leaves Ponting one slip-up from being cut". Instead of hating Sachin, please tell your press to stop targeting Ponting.

[Rajagopk]

@IronManu77: If you hate Sachin so much why watch these videos? Ponting was able to win till the great bowlers were there. Why did he lose Ashes in England 2 consecutive times? Why did he lose Ashes recently in Australia also. Ponting is a great player, but even he can do only so much. Why did he lose the WC 2011 match in India? The bottom line is the overall team composition is very important. Ponting is great WIN or LOSE. It is Alan Border whom Aussies must thank for the start of the great ..

[kunalsaxena20]

I THINK THE UMPIRES WERE SO MESMERIZED BY THE KNOCK THAT HE FORGOT THAT IT WAS A NO BALL. HATS OFF ANYWAYS

[ljkjdjk]

for me its Sachin's best knock.

[mahek4love]

@8:20 it says Tendulkar's best 144 in this match...

[premsrj]

Sharjah cup 1998, the series that made me believe Sachin is not human.. He single handedly took us to the final and then won the cup.. HE is GOD...

[IronManu77]

@premsrj Australia is the real God....having denied Sachin and Indian team the cricket world cup on numerous occasions. LOL.....and btw...Ricky Ponting is much much better than Sachin. Stats mean nothing if you cannot make them count. Ponting was the best captain, an excellent fielder, a match winner and an aggressive team player. Tendulkar can keep his useless records.

[premsrj]

@IronManu77 Sachin is GOD..

[IronManu77]

@premsrj sorry....but he was denied a world cup in 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007 with just a score of 4 vs Australia in the final in 2003. He performed poorly as a captain. He is not as athletic a fielder as Ponting. If he was God, he would have won every match for India or at least 99%. He is just a player amassing runs and records for the books. Sorry to disappoint you but Ricky Ponting has better insight into cricket than Sachin. More wins for Ponting.

[premsrj]

@IronManu77 Sachin is GOD

[IronManu77]

@premsrj I AM GOD.

[IronManu77]

@premsrj I will tell you this....India is going to beaten black and blue in Australia, so get ointments and balms ready when they return from Down Under next year.

[sri15v]

@IronManu77 Hey mate chill..shame on u guys posting derogatory comments on a marvelous innings...and in oz...Let's see mate how the aussies r gonna kneel bfore us...

[IronManu77]

@sri15v 3-0 or 4-0 win for Australia....ummmm why? Because before the England tour I had predicted 4-0 thrashing and that is exactly what had happened. How did I know that? Because I just did...so I am looking forward to the Australia tour because it is going to be worse for India Down Under than it was in England.....Australia is going to be at their aggressive best. Mark my words.

[praveen3122]

@IronManu77 insight... hahaha.. dude go get yourself examined at an assylum

[praveen3122]

@IronManu77 Haha.. lawlolawl.. poor guy.. may god bless you

[praveen3122]

@IronManu77 Australia is the real God.. Haha.. Lawl @strailia n @strines @1:08

[IronManu77]

@praveen3122 HhHAHAHA, i remember Ponting blasting India in the 2003 world cup final with 8 sixes for his 140.....bwahahahhahahha, go fuck yourself. bwahahahaaha

[praveen3122]

@IronManu77 Sachin's too big a player for australia babes, they cant fucking handle VVS Laxman.. Fucking bowled for a day to Dravid-Laxman and you losers slogged like pigs on a humid kolkata pitch

[IronManu77]

@praveen3122 Once in a life time miracle, that too on your home ground....i remember that match because you were almost lost, but Laxman came in the way, but who cares, Australia has a much higher win to loss ratio, compared to India, and that means we beat your asses black and blue most of the time if not all the time. Just look at our record in the 3 consecutive world cup wins where we did not even lose a single match. LOL, go fetch that record idiot.

[kamalrasigan]

Ravi Shastri is one of the best and most energetic Commenter of all times !!!!

[aiwattoo]

This is one of the splendid innings I have ever seen, I enjoyed alot when I saw this match in 1998.

[aiwattoo]

score was 142 not 143

[anishkollam2006]

The score was 143. please refer Sachin's profile in Cricinfo

[aiwattoo]

Actuallay i saw on screen when sachin was out , it was 142.

[anishkollam2006]

ya because of that I check Sachin's profile in Cricinfo. May be that is a mistake while telecasting.

[razeev111]

sachin started blasting the ball when he was jst 17teen...

[model47ak]

great
