Rhodes Praises Sachin’s Double
Mumbai : Tendulkar’s Double Ton has brought many praises from everywhere, South Africa’s Jonty Rhodes is the latest addition in the list.
In Mumbai, Rhodes while talking to the journalists said, “I think the makeup of the Mumbai Indians team for season number three is looking really strong and positive. Anybody who comes off a double century in a one day international 50-over game must be in very good form”.
Jonty the greatest fielder the world has ever seen, is the fielding coach of Mumbai Indians IPL Team. He was very happy about Tendulkar’s effort and was optimistic of Mumbai Indians chances in IPL.
On 24th Feb’10 , Tendulkar became 1st ever batsman to make a Double Hundred in an ODI of just 147 balls with help of 25 fours & 3 sixes, guiding India to the victory in 2nd ODI by 153 runs and series win.
Rhodes added, “I’m not worried about him with the bat because he’s a master. I’m not concerned. I’ll be watching him in the field and he knows that. I spoke to him on the phone two nights ago and I told him, ‘No excuses, I don’t care how many runs you score in a one day game, you still got to be out there diving around”.
Finally he said, “I think there’s enough pressure on Sachin to be Sachin, so the coaching staff don’t worry about that. He just goes out there. He plays the best cricket he knows how to and let’s face it, that’s an amazing effort”.
