Date: April 24, 1998
Venue: Sharjah
Stage: Coca-Cola Cup Final - India vs Australia
I got to know that day, courtesy Tendulkar, what "assault" and "carnage" exactly mean.
I always knew Cricket was a team game, but on April 22 and April 24, 1998 Sachin needed no other man to shame Australia. Sand-Storm had hit Sharjah, Sachin-Storm was to hit Australia!
His 143 in final league match ensured India a place in finals, and his 134 in Finals - on his Birthday - ensured India lifts the Coca-Cola Cup in Sharjah. We were treated to something truly special. The Great man at his best! Unleashed!
"It was one of the greatest innings I have ever seen. There is no shame being beaten by such a great player, Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don."

"I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. Hi is, in my time, the best player without doubt - daylight second. Brian Lara third."
