Yes..thats is what makes him even greater.Its not easy to be under so much of pressure and still performs.There has not been a series in his career where he was out of form.
Infect I never saw him faling in consecutive 3 inings.
No doubt Tendulkar is the best batsman of our time. Hats off to him.
Congratulations.
Honestly how many people who follow Cricket are surprisd he broke this record?
Still no comparison with the Don.
He just got two consecutive ducks, maybe your wish of him falling in three consec innings, and that too with ducks will come true...

What comparison, have you ever seen Don bat, how do you know that Don Bradman even had an average of 99.94, maybe the whities has just made it up, because they knew some dark skinned might come from the subcontinent and be the greatest batsman in the world.
I just think the guy of this caliber take 29 centuries, and still under 30 and has the most one day runs then anybody has to be the greteast so far in the history of cricket.
Nothing to do with Black and White.
The Don made those centuries in 54 tests or something

I will concede one thing though. Cricket has changed a lot since his days.
I don’t think Test Cricket is going to ber around for long!!
I mean in terms of significance.
I disagree with that, I think test matches are becoming more interesting for the past 4 years, the run rate have been high 4s.
I think the reason is because of one days which has sped up the run rate, not many matches result in draws anymore unlike the 80s and before.

And how can you claim that? How is Tendulkar more consistent than people like Viv Richards, G Sobers, Greg Chappel, Miandad, etc., etc?
