Currently D/L is used if 25 overs are bowled in either innings. Now with the advent of new powerplay rules how would things be worked out? Say in the second innings after the mandatory 10 overs of power play the bowling captain refrains from using the powerplay until 25th over and it rains. Would D/L in this case give fair result?
Hi Saurabh, Adding to what Rajneesh said. If you look at the statistics posted. The last 10 centuries that Sachin has scored have resulted in 6 victories and 4 draws and a single lost match. So His centuries count !!

Centuries! Steve Waugh is the only batsman to have scored a hundred against each test playing nation in matches won by Australia! - This is what we call a winning contribution.

We should not differenciate Winning versus non winning centuries to be respectable
(1)For winning Centuries, century contributed to win
(2)For Draw centuries,Century prevented defeat. If others would have played well and contributed their share, win was possible
(3)For Centuries in lost game,Tendulkar have done his job, In absence of century bad defeat was possible, Other players have done nothing in this Games. It is shameful for other players who have done nothing. How a person making century is liable for loss????
Every Century should be looked with Positive Angle

It's true , but you have to see whether he has taken a lot of time in a crucial moment or when India was depending on him he just scored 100 and after that he didn't bothered to play seriously.
