AUS vs IND 4th Test - Tendulkar Hits his 39th Test Century

Sachin Tendulkar has scored his 39th test hundred on the first day of 4th and final test match against Australia at Adelaide.

This is his 9th Test ton against Australia and the second in the series.

Tendulkar Completed his century in style, he was 92 and hit a huge six off Clarke to reach 98 and on the next ball cracked a four to complete his 39th test hundred.

He took only 133 balls to complete his century.

Virender Sehwag provided the early impetus and Sachin Tendulkar the afternoon entertainment.
Tendulkar walked in just before lunch, and it took him 18 balls to get off the mark. When he did, it was worth waiting for, a magnificent on-drive off Brett Lee. That seems to lift an invisible weight off his shoulders, and Mitchell Johnson was then taken for three fours through the off side in an over that saw India go past 100.

Tendulkar's intent against Hogg was unmistakable, with cuts, sweeps and a huge shot that soared over midwicket for six.

After 76 overs India were 282 for 5, Tendulkar on 113 and Dhoni on 2.
