Sachin Tendulkar fans are 'not happy' with Cricket Australia's birthday tweet for Damien Fleming

Sachin Tendulkar fans were left fuming after Cricket Australia posted sneaky birthday wish for Damien Fleming. 

Sachin Tedulkar and former Australian pacer Damien Fleming share birthdays. Tendulkar turned 45 on Tuesday and fans and sportspersons from all over the world wished the cricket legend. However, some of his fans were not impressed with Cricket Australia's birthday wish for Damien Fleming. 

The Twitter handle of Cricket Australia's (CA) official website posted a tweet with a video of the bowler getting Sachin Tendulkar's wicket. 

The tweet said, "some @bowlogist gold from the man himself - happy birthday, Damien Fleming!" 

The video clip shows Fleming bowling Tendulkar during an ODI in Perth during the 2000 Carlton & United Series.

Fans were unhappy that CA decided to put out such a tweet on Tendulkar's birthday. They said that it was disrespectful to one of the greatest player of the game. 

Also sachin smashed Australian strong bowling attack back in 1998 #HappyBirthdaySachin https://t.co/XZzwmNSzSF

No matter how many bans, Australians will never change...

On Sachin's Birthday you are posting a video how Damien Fleming bowled him. Couldn't you find another batsman instead of Sachin? #HappyBirthdaySachin

no matter if you post video of Sachin getting clean bold on his birthday today, legend will be legend. His records are enough to shut everyone. Getting out is just another part of game

We now also know where the Aussies learn their Sledging....it comes right from the TOP.

Beside sharing their birthdays Fleming and Tendulkar shared some great battles on the field. Fleming dismissed Tendulkar seven times in combined Test and ODIs. Sachin was one of the most successful batsman at that time against an Australian attack that consisted of Glen McGrath, Brett Lee, Shane Warne, Jason Gilespie and Fleming.

Fleming, who turned 48 today, celebrated his birthday in India following his commentary stint for the ongoing IPL.
