Sachin Tendulkar, who had an indifferent start, put his head
down, and played with measured aggression to compile his 34th ODI
ton. The knock made him the first cricketer to score ODI tons
against ten different nations. His 152 off 151 balls also saw him
equal Mark Waugh's World Cup record of four centuries. The little
master's fine knock came to an end when he played an ungainly
across-the-line heave against a ball that kept low off van
Vuuren.
