Why for Tendulkar alone ?

One of my favourite columns I read weekly is asksteven in cricinfo. I have read many fascinating facts from that column. When I read yesterdays coloumn I was just amazed by error in it. If it involved any other name It might not be noticed but when Tendulkar name is involved many will be seeing it.

Its about hundreds in losing ODI's. The article said Tendulkar has 7 in losing cause and 25 in winning. How much hundred Tendulkar has ? 37 .. 28 in winning , 8 in losses and 1 No result. Here are stats from Cricinfo's stats guru for Tendulkar in which he scored 100 and team did not win.

I believe stats that cosidered for that column are taken before World cup after that he had centuries against Aus,NZ and Namibia in winning cause. Pakistan in losssing cause. I have not checked to stats for anybody else but I remember Gibbs century against NZ and WI in World cup and ICCCT both in losing cause.

And surprisingly both are include !! Then how did they got numbers for Sachin alone wrong ? I dont know I will mail them. I will let you know if I get any reply.
