Sachin Tendulkar’s incredible record at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) makes Mike Hussey nervous but the Australian batsman and his team mates will do everything to prolong the Indian great’s agonising wait for his 100th international century. Tendulkar, stranded on 99 centuries in one-dayes and tests since March last year, averages a mammoth 221-plus at SCG and underlined his form with a fluent 73 in Melbourne last week. “I can assure you that everyone in our dressing room does not want him to make a 100,” Hussey told reporters Sunday. “I am a bit nervous because the stars seem to be aligning with Sachin needing one more 100. (It’s) the 100th test match in Sydney, he’s made runs here before. “It’s a little bit ominous but hopefully we can make him wait until after this series and he can get a 100 in the first game of the next series that he plays.” Tendulkar’s team mate Rohit Sharma said the batting great was not putting himself under any pressure ahead of the second test of the four-match series starting Tuesday. “I’m sure he’s also not thinking of that. As we know, Sydney is his lucky ground so hopefully it happens here,” said Sharma, whose other wish would be to make his test debut at SCG.
