Azharuddin struck his 21st test century against this Simon Doulls attack with 103not out. Azhar was a terrific player of swing . Next to only tendulkar who also scored a century in second innings. Sachin azhar duo became a backbone of indian batting in 1990s. Similar to gavaskar vishwanath duo in 1970s decade
Sachin showed his class by staying there in the middle scoring 47. In the next match, Rahul Dravid showed his class by smashing 190 (1st innings) & 103* (2nd innings).... Only Sachin & Dravid used to score on bouncy tracks.
Sachin and Azhar bhai only counter attacked it was almost impossible, Sachin injury se pehale he was so so unstoppable but later he had to curb certain shots which made him less aggressive!!!!
