The unbeaten 122 in the next Test in Dhaka wasn't pretty. "Tendulkar couldn't improvise and play a scoring shot when deceived by the slowness of the wicket," Sidharth Monga wrote for Cricinfo. "Not long ago, you'd describe him as a batsman who had two shots for every ball; here he was struggling to do anything more than nudge it to leg. It was all the more painful to see him make the conditions and bowling look more difficult than they probably were." Stats:
