Fortunately the great man has knocked off a ton against the ever willing Bangladesh.
Incredibly in all these years of playing this is Sachins first ODI ton against Bangladesh.
Hopefully now he will retire and everyone can move on and forward within the Indian team!
-
Its about time he did it!
Still 100 Hundreds is definately a great achievement!
-
Great achievement, but I for one hope he doesn't retire as it'll show that he was only in it for himself and could possible tarnish his reputation!
Not sure about anyone else but I did feel he should of gone a while ago as getting to the 100th 100 seems to of diminished some of the magic and mystery of the game, such as The Don forever being stuck on 99.
-
No-one will ever be as good as SRT, I'm very glad he got his 100th 100 unlike some others as I'm a milestone driven person when it comes to sport.
Did wish he got it in Mumbai in the tests though :P
-
I wished he'd either got it a lords or SCG last year in a test , would have been much mor fitting but still , what an achievement
-
I was at Edgbaston when he was batting last year and what I would've given for him to get 100
-
He said as much in his interview that the pressure had got to him, no doubt he'll score a bucket load more .. With dravid retired and vvs looking very shonky can't magine there will be calls for Sachin to retire just yet, he's been pretty consistent without getting his ton in the last year and none of the youngsters except maybe viral kohli looking like a test batsman yet
-
Great man, great achievement. He still has the best technique of all the current Indian team. No reason for him to retire. Bring on the 150th ton!
-
I do hope he continues as he is a huge draw for the crowds and is still playing at the highest level.
Whilst this elusive ton took a while his average has been up there and he would bring confidence to the team.

Bradman, anyone? 99.94...
-
It has not been easy for him but he still got there. Great achievement. Media is still crying about the fact that he got it against Bangladesh but forgets that he had to play all the team to reach the landmarks... Well done Tendulkar:D

Bradman is a legend. :D
-
It is a fantastic achievement, but 100 international hundreds is a bit of an irrelevant stat. We don't count how many international hundreds anyone else has/had. Number of Test hundreds is a relevant stat, and Sachin has an unbelievable 51 of those.
Bradman for me the best of all time, followed by your pick of a host of others. Sachin definitely in the top 3 or 4 of the last 20 years though.

Bradman is the best evert Test batsman by a mile!
But ST has to be amongst the greatest batsman within all formats of the game.
I would have loved to have seen Bradman play ODI or T20 formats, just to see how he adapted 8)!!

Probably easily. He had the greatest hand eye coordination of all time.
-
He's a great player no doubt about it, but he's not even close to Bradman....99.94 average? On uncovered pitches? No Helmets? Bats like matchsticks? Bradman by a mile!
-
And let's not overlook the likes of Kallis, Lara, Dravid, Hobbs, Hammond, Pollock, etc, etc!
The list could go on all day of top class batsmen but none of whom are on quite the same level as The Don!
And Pedals - spot on about playing on uncovered pitches, etc! Plus there were still 90mph+ bowlers around even then , such as Larwaood! Can't imagine trying to play 90mph in those conditions and with bodyline tactics!!
Anyway, I digress....
Well done Sachin!! Absolute top class batsman and one of the best!
I think the Indian team still need his class, skill and attitude to set an example to the new batsmen slowly coming into the Indian team!
-
Great Achievement, I see him retiring now that he has the milestone. Yes he may have got it for himself, but SRT will be remembered at the first person to get 100 test tons for India, this is a great image for him and the Indian team. It would be a great marketing tool to get more people into the game at 100 seems better than 101 or 112, not sure why.
Also I didn't see the whole Indian team getting tons against Bangladesh, you can only bat at what is coming in front of you.

I have agree with you here mate :D

That I only found out that Bangladesh actually won that game a day later once the frenzy had died down says it all about the hysteria surrounding this statistic.

Pal do you live on Mars? How can you find out a day late :facepalm:
-
I believe the game was only on Zee TV in the UK, and when there's little publicity about a match I'm unlikely to be bothered.
-
I agree with Pete and Pedals, bradman was in a class of his own, but sachin is undoubtedly a brilliant player and has had a fantastic career and to reach 100 hundreds just caps it off!
