Sachin Tendulker an Indian cricket player was the first cricket player to ever hit a double century (200 runs). India beat South Africa with a score of 401-3 (401 runs for 3 outs) against South Africa's 248 all out. Tendulker is a 36 year old cricket player. He hit 25 fours and 3 sixes in 147 balls to reach a score of 200. But to have reached such a landmark, with a single in the final over, only serves to underline his class and add to the legacy that already surrounds arguably the finest batsman to have played the game. His innings, the 46th one-day century of his career, was typified by wristy strokes, trademark boundary shots and, above all, stamina as he batted through the entire innings. "We all know how talented and how passionate he is about the game, but it's incredible that at the age of 36 he is still going on, he plays the full 50 overs, runs hard and at no point during this knock did he look like he was going to throw his wicket away. But the biggest reason he gets all these records is because he respects the game tremendously," said former Pakistan captain Aamer Sohail.

Sources: BBC: [] The Scotsman: [] Coverage: Both Sources covered the article well. I think that BBC was a bit more detailed and it included the quote from Aamer Sohail. Also BBC said that Sachin Tendulker was the best batsman in the game at this moment. However the Scotsman talked more about the game than BBC.

Opinion: I think that this is an amazing thing to have happened. I personally like cricket a lot and I think it is a good sport. I cannot belive that he did this. Also thescore of the game with India beating South Africa 401-3 to 248 all out. This is a great milestone and it is really amazing that he is 36 years old and he still bats for 50 overs (6 balls per over).
