On a placid pitch that did not assist the pace bowlers by any means,
Tendulkar got into the act straightaway, pulling McGrath for a huge
six. He later nonchalantly swung McGrath into the mid-wicket fence for
a four. Runs flowed from the little master's blade and had McGrath
shaking his head in utter disbelief. Tendulkar pulled a short-pitched
delivery from Damien Fleming in the air, straight to Daren Lehmann
positioned at mid-wicket and the Aussies rejoiced after picking up the
most valuable wicket. Tendulkar made 32 off 29 balls, which included
six powerfully struck fours and a six.
