Huge honour to dismiss Sachin Tendulkar: Boult

[1]

Sachin Tendulkar making the walk back to the pavilion after losing his middle stump — it was a scene that would remain seared on young Trent Boult?s mind forever.

The 23-year-old, with a magnificent delivery that swung in like a banana, got the biggest scalp in world cricket on the opening day of the first Test in Hyderabad on Thursday.

And he was understandably elated.This is why I started bowling to get the big players out. I was getting some shape on the ball and thought I?d exploit it.

I managed to get one to sneak through his defenses. It was a huge wicket and a huge honour, said Boult. The Kiwi said the visitors were pretty confident, despite the fact that they had given away over 300 runs o the first day. They did make over three hundred but the match is far from over.

The first hour tomorrow could set the tone for the rest of the match. A couple of quick wickets could very well swing the momentum in our favour.

New Zealand were in control when they had India struggling at 125 for 3, with three of their most experienced batsmen back in the hut.
