It is really very great achivement than anybody since the number of matches and years he took to reach this feat is very lees when compared to any other player! Congrats Sourav and keep going!!!
If u sum up the majority of runs made by saurav and Sachin were scored in batting pitches and not bouncy pitches.I shall rate Gilchrist as the best batsmen , for the way he has scored his runs for his team and never focussed on personal records and has always been a match winner. Have you ever seen an aussie batsmen pulling down the runrate when they reach their 90's?
For past 7 years saurav has done wonderful job for india, his leadership , his aggression prooved to this world that Indians are not afraid on anyone in this world .. not even australlia, we were on the verge of victory in australia, But only problem with Indian player is that they become complacant after a victory , We need to keep the fire kindling inside , desire for win should be the motive of each game.
