Batting genius Sachin Tendulkar is eager to resume his tussle with Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath in the crucial third Test beginning in Nagpur on Tuesday.

The Nagpur Test has assumed added importance in view of the fact that it would not only mark the return of Tendulkar to cricketing action after a two-month injury layoff but also the 100th Test for McGrath.

8220;I am looking forward to this Test and being part of Glenn8217;s 100th match8230; We have had some great tussles and I respect Glenn very much,8221; Tendulkar was quoted as saying in 8217;Sydney Morning Herald8217; today.

Tendulkar said his favourite memory of playing against McGrath was at the ICC Knockout in Kenya in 2000.

8220;We won the toss and elected to bat. There was plenty of moisture, it was overcast and he was putting it on the spot. He didn8217;t try anything special because he was having success putting it on that spot.
