COLOMBO:Sachin Tendulkar held the center stage here at the Premadasa Stadium on Monday,his 44th ODI century-his forth at this ground and his sixth in tournament finals helping India win the Compaq Cup.
Tendulkar’s 138 (133b, 10x4, 1x6) was an exceptional innings: it illustrated his ability to play strokes on a powdery-slow surface against the new ball and maintain a brisk rate in the middle overs with minimal risk; it also proved that his endurance at 36 is still formidable.
