It is probably very few batsmen whose centuries seem to be getting better than the previous ones. For even fewer, centuries are numbers which are counting like fours! Sachin simply sizzled on his way to his 39th Test ton at the Adelaide oval, with many shots reminding us of the ‘Tendulkar of old’: the baby-faced kid who used to loft some of the best bowlers for sixes.
