It was really pleasure watching him," the 26-year-old right-hander told reporters.<br /><br />Tendulkar showed glimpses of his vintage form with a fluent half-century as India recovered from the two early jolts to match evenly poised at the M A Chidambaram Stadium.<br /><br />"It was very important for us to make a partnership and it was really crucial. During the partnership we were talking about how the ball was moving and at times reverse swinging. Such communication was really important when we were batting."</p>
