So much time is passing between Sachin’s 99th and 100th international century, that we can now officially call it the “99To100 Era”.
Let’s take a look at the earth-shattering events have already taken place in this Era so far…
India wins ODI World Cup after 28 years… Osama finally captured and killed… Gaddafi toppled and killed after 42 years… Left rule ends in West Bengal after 34 years… Anna Hazare August Kranti… Lokpal Bill fails in Rajya Sabha… Djokovic becomes No. 1 to end Federer-Nadal Era … F1 comes to India… Amitabh becomes grandfather… Will-Kat wedding… Indian bowler (Ashwin) takes fiver and scores century in Test after 40 years… Ponting gets Test century after 2 years… Iraq war finally ends… Mars mission launched…
The following people passed away…
Sathya Sai Baba, Steve Jobs, MAK Pataudi, Jagjit Singh, Bhupen Hazarika, Shammi Kapoor, Joe Frazier, MF Hussain, Elizabeth Taylor, Amy Winehouse, Suresh Tendulkar, Kim Jong-il, Dev Anand, Socrates, Václav Havel, Christopher Hitchens, Mario Miranda, Sultan Khan, Gary Speed…
(And to think he was on 85 after surviving about half a dozen dropped catches and a UDRS reversal in the same month as his 99th century and there would have been no era.)
