LAHORE – Pakistan cricket legend Javed Miandad feels captain Shahid Afridi’s comment about making Sachin Tendulkar wait for his 100th international century shouldn’t be made an issue. “Don’t take Afridi’s comment too seriously. No captain or team will want runs scored off them. Every team has its strategy after all and Pakistan will try their best to restrict batsmen like Tendulkar,” said Miandad, who figured in six Cups (1975, 1979, 1983, 1987, 1992 and 1996). “He (Tendulkar) will have to wait until after the World Cup to reach the landmark. We will try and make sure no batsman plays a long innings (in semi-final at Mohali),” Afridi reportedly said recently.
