Bloody #$%#$%#$% was not giving strike to Sachin for last overs and was keeping the strike.
I am shocked what he had in his mind.
Manash: "Dhoni was unthinkably brilliant. Even though the whole excitement and focus was about Sachin getting to 200, Dhoni didn't let it bother him. Rather, he used the most mature strategy. He went after the bowlers, took away their attention from Sachin, gave Sachin a breathing space, and perfectly set the stage for him to get to 200 without hiccups. In the process, also knowing Sachin won't be able to get wild, Dhoni took the burden on his shoulders to smash the bowling and get the score past 400. I thought that Dhoni bit was quite special. One doesn't expect such things from an Indian captain after Gavaskar - but one can expect it from Dhoni.
When Saeed Anwar made that 194 i was there in the Chepaulk watching it with my cousins and had some really horrid time with the crowd(as well as with our bowling). In fact we had to leave the game when Dravid got out (in his 90s i guess) b'cos of the crowd trouble. Some Idiots kept on throwing bottles and chocolates at the boundary riders (especially Aquib Javed) because of that we had mild lathi-charge by our very own big bellied chennai cops. It was one hellava experience that i always wanted to forget.
Thanks Sachin The God of Awesomeness, for making me forget that 13 year old nightmare.
