Confident of 'master' Sachin Tendulkar getting his 100th century in the 4th test at Adelaide, West Indies legend is ready to celebrate it with a glass of bubbly

West Indies legend Brian Lara believes Sachin Tendulkar will get his much-awaited 100th international century in today's fourth Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval. In an email interaction with this correspondent, Lara said: "It's been a disappointing series, but the Master will get it at Adelaide."

The former West Indies skipper continued, "don't know what Sachin thinks of the (Adelaide) Oval, but for me, it is the most beautiful cricket ground in the world." Lara should know. The stylish left-hander scored an impressive 226 in the first innings of his final Test on Australian soil (November 2005) at this very ground.
