Sachin Tendulkar who is better known for his exploits with the bat is an able bowler too. He notched up his 100th ODI wicket recently against the visiting Aussies at home. Tendulkar has not been a great success in Test match cricket. One look at his phenomenal ability and the bowling statistics reveal that he has not been used properly as a bowler. In the 82 Test matches that he has graced this great game of Test cricket, he has bowled a mere 273 overs and picked up 22 wickets at 38.09 runs apiece. The fact that his strike rate is 74.4 balls per wicket suggest that he has been used as a change bowler. There is so much of talent in this 28 year old, all it takes is to wake him up.
