Sachin vs McGrath

Sachin Tendulkar shocked one and all during the ICC Knockout Cup in Kenya by snarling back an easily-lip-readable obscenity at McGrath. He subjected Glenn McGrath to a rare bad day at the office and got India off to a swift start in Nairobi, scoring at six runs per over inside the first 15 overs. He smacked a six off the rangy fast bowler after having enough of latter’s verbal assault in Mumbai and he charged him down the track like a spinner to hit a straight six so mighty the ball rebounded off the sightscreen on to the middle of the ground. McGrath would not even bowl his full allotment, conceding 0-61 from nine. India won and Sachin was largely instrumental by unleashing an all-out attack on the Australian bowlers.
