Special note: What a wonderful sight it was to see Sachin Tendulkar walking back into the pavilion following his dismissal against the West Indies.

Not, I hasten to add, because I bear the Little Master any ill feeling. On the contrary, I merely wish to acknowledge my respect for his sporting behaviour. Ravi Rampaul moved a lifting ball away from Tendulkar yet his vociferous appeal for caught-behind was rejected by umpire Steve Davis. Despite playing in front of a 38,000 crowd hoping to witness India's icon secure his 100th international century, Tendulkar gave himself out.
