Sachin Tendulkar scored a hundred in that game while Warne got a wicket. Many assumed that this was the first time that the duo was involved in an on-field duel. However, as revealed by Rob Moody, Sachin and Warne had a go at each other a few months back in a PM’s XI in Canberra. Sachin struggled to play Warne in the first few deliveries.
