Motion text

That this House congratulates 37 year old Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar on becoming the first person ever to score 50 test match centuries; notes that this incredible achievement came on Sunday 19 December 2010 during the first test between India and South Africa at the aptly named Centurion cricket ground in South Africa; further notes that this was Sachin Tendulkar's 175th test match for India and the 107 runs he scored were his seventh test century of 2010; and agrees with Indian cricket coach Gary Kirsten, who said after Sachin Tendulkar's achievement that it was little wonder that he has been so successful over so many years because he treats every cricketing day with humility and respect and works as hard as he can on his game, that it is a great lesson for young cricketers and that he is a professor in batting.
