He did it

After months of agony and wait he finally crosses and milestone and is now the highest runscorer in test match cricket which means he's now on top of both ODIs and Tests. The God also known as Sachin Tendulkar does it on Day 1 of the 2nd test after having missed it by a kitten's whisker(by about .1% of his total runs) in the previous innings...
We've all been waiting for this feat since the the Srilankan tests and somehow I felt it got to Sachin as well... But what the heck.. he's made it now and that's wat matters..
I understand Sachins urge to be on top, be it on top of the bowlers, the hundreds, the totals, but lately he's got this knack of being the no 1 in the wickets list of bowlers. From my immediate memory, it was Monty first ( who got the ball signed by the God), then White in the previous test and now Siddle. There are much more gifts you can give to debutants than gifting them your wickets Sachin...

An info from Cricinfo.
Eighteen bowlers, including Cameron White and Peter Siddle in this series, have claimed Tendulkar's wicket in their first Test.(Not necessarily their first wicket :D )
