Tendulkar is an obsession. When he gets going, we rejoice. When he fails, we analyze. The Mumbai Maestro's stumps were once again rattled in the first innings of the second Test against England. There has been a sense of gloom surrounding Sachin ever since he was clean bowled three times in three innings against the Kiwis in a 2-match Test series earlier in the year. Is age catching up with Tendulkar? Have his reflexes slowed down? We did a small 'clean bowled' test on the Master Blaster and got some interesting results. Since, Sachin's stumps have taken a hit in Test matches; we've analyzed the numbers only from the longer version of the game.

Number of times clean bowled: 52

Most times against: New Zealand 10

Least: Zimbabwe 1 time
