This Slipped Past Me

India's Sachin Tendulkar

Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar scored his landmark 50th Test match hundred as they battled to save the first Test against South Africa in Centurion (this was a couple of weeks ago on 19th December).  The 37-year-old great reached the milestone as India fought back on day four, reaching stumps on 107 not out.  He said:

"It's just another number but it's nice.  Every innings, I want to go out and score runs."

Tendulkar, who also passed 14 500 Test runs during the innings, brought up his century with a single off Dale Steyn.

Australia captain Ricky Ponting (*snigger*) has the next highest number of hundreds in Tests with 39.
