We are not and we can not become a respectable sports nation because we do not have the right mindsets to understand any sport and appreciate the game and true sports achievements. From the current form of TND, it was obvious that he would have scored this so called historic century only against Bangladesh or Zimbabwe. For him, match result was immaterial as he had taken guard only to achieve a personal milestone. In sports loving nations, this team loss that too from a weaker side would certainly have been mourned or considered as a humiliation. There is always a suspicion around matches played between our subcontinet's teams any way! Other than cricket, our IOA is more interested in saving a tainted boss rather than cleaning and improving sporting system. Till the time we understand all these events and remove selfish sportsmen and officials, we will always get wrong results at the cost of team success and nation's pride.
There was a comment that since Tendulkar has scored hundred the side will not win. This comment came just after his scoring. Another statistical value is two batsmen scoring centuries in one over in the previous match.
