It was a veritable feast, watching, listening and tracking the Indian batting might demolish the hapless New Zealand attack in Christchurch on Sunday. Sachin Tendulkar, closing in on his 36th birthday, enjoyed himself as he scored another big hundred, Yuvraj Singh and skipper Mahender Singh Dhoni picked up half-centuries.
For unabashed Tendulkar fans, it was a day to celebrate the little big man’s maiden one-day international hundred in the land where he opened the innings for the first time in 1994, thanks to a crick in Navjot Singh Sidhu’s neck. The controlled manner in which he crafted his innings was a delightful lesson.
