I think it's rather nice to congratulate people on reaching milestones. Especially when no-one has ever reached them before.

Polite as ever, Dr. DeltaAlpha

15000 runs? yay! 100 of 100s? well, I will clap for it when I see it happen. In the mean time, I would like a little less noise on it

Congrats to sachin, a true great of the game, and surely now not long until he gets his 100th 100.

I wouldn't disagree with that, Indus. I seem to remember Sachin having said something along the lines of, "If you play well for your team, your personal milestones will come." With that philosophy, I doubt if he's affected by all the media hype.

Do people think he will get the 100 th 100 in this series?

Mr. CricketFan90, the media has been on this talk for a while now. When Indians were in England earlier, same type of drums were being beaten... black and blue

Dr. DA,

SRT himself seems to be very down-to-earth, very likable guy! People around him.... well, a whole lotta different story! Any way the cheap media can get mileage out of him!

He's about due another ton, so yes.

[braveneutral]

Well done SRT, the sooner it comes the better, I am sure when it is done he will have a good run...

Here is what I have been saying too. Captain Dhoni had to come out issuing a statement to leave SRT alone.

I agree with that, Indus. It's one thing to congratulate and celebrate with someone when they reach a milestone, but quite a different thing to speculate on them reaching another.

One of these days, you are gonna have to give me a reason to disagree with you, Mr.

Another news article. This time the applause goes to Sammy! What a great ambassador of the gentlemen's game, he is

It's not even just the speculation. Coke Cola IIRC have created a can that will sold in millions in India for his 100th 100 and they will have pictures and numbers of his ton's. I suspect they're not alone in milking this.

Hmm... I didn't know that, ddb. Don't much like the idea of companies cashing in on everything they can...
