Sometimes, comment like this i wonder "what is the average age of the people in this forum?". A century in NZ, just after only 10 innings in ODI with strike rate of 74 is of course good. Just becuase 20/20 has become popular and u can score quickly on indian pitches mean u can do that anywhere. Look at Micheal clarke's SR's in the recent matches against Pakistan. Against good quality bowling strike rate of 74 is obviously good.
And, why are ppl making comments like "riding on luck", "7 lives". I don't think he was dropped once. There is difference between the ball carrying to the fielder and falling short. A ball falling short of the fielder is not the same as dropping a half or full chance.
And, again ball falling short is part of the game. Unlike Micheal Hussy when he was dropped 4 times by Kamram Akmal and scored a match winning century, ppl didn't say anything about luck.
It's not batsman fault, the fielder's can't catch the ball. Or batsman playing smartly to drop the ball short of the fielder.
