But his 40th ODI century, against the West Indies, at the Kinrara Oval, Kuala Lumpur, illustrated that his powers hadn't decayed, at least perceptibly, writes S. Ram Mahesh.
Had rain not intervened...At the Kinrara Oval in its second game, against Australia, the rain contrived to save India, after having put it in a bit of a spot in the first place, writes S. RAM MAHESH. 
As decreed by Duckworth & Lewis...Tendulkar came up with a bright 148-ball 141, but unfortunately for the master batsman, rain nipped a most enticing contest in the bud, writes S. RAM MAHESH. DLF CUP/AUSTRALIA-WEST INDIES

Iker Casillas' rapid ascent has not always been straightforward. He spent long spells on the bench between 2000 and 2002 when he lost out to Cesar. It was not until that 2002 Champions League final when he really established himself, writes ANDY HAMPSON.
