Mumbai: West Indies' batting great Brian Lara named his daughter 'Sydney' because he scored his first Test century, a majestic 277, at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) which Aussie cricket lovers fondly call 'Sachin Cricket Ground'.

It may be a coincidence that the third and final Test of the ongoing three-match series between India and Sri Lanka is being played at the P. Sara Stadium in Colombo and the name of Sachin Tendulkar's daughter is Sara, too. However, naming his daughter had nothing to do with the ground.

Tendulkar who needed 97 runs at the beginning of the match to surpass Lara's record of most Test runs, was dismissed for six in the first innings.

"After losing his wicket to rookie fast bowler Prasad leg before on Friday, he sat in the dressing room for a while, apparently disturbed. But he came back to his normal mood after listening to music," a member of the Indian team said from Colombo. "He was confident of setting a high score in this match but...," the source added.

"Sachin then called Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma in the dressing room and all three started practising in the dressing room itself.

"The batting maestro is determined to break the record in the second innings and perhaps the day is not far off," the source added.
