Kudo's to the little master

Sachin Tendulkar has been around for such a long time in professional cricket that sometimes people forget how good he really is.

We've seen so many generations of "the next big thing" and yet 20 years after he made his test debut, Sachin is able to blast 200 in a One Day International against one of the premier ODI lineups in South Africa.

15 November 1989, Tendulkar went out to bat against Pakistan in Karachi and in a display of sheer bloody-mindedness he stands up after being hit in the face by a Waqar Younis quick delivery. He was eventually out for 57.

24 February 2010 Tendulkar went out to bat against some of the worlds best fast bowlers and he proceeded to smash 200 not out.

It really is phenomenal stuff. Thanks for the awesome memories and contribution to the game Sachin!
