"Sometimes you get so
engrossed in watching batsmen like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar
that you lose focus on your job."
"To Sachin, the man we all
want to be"
- What Andrew Symonds wrote on
an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially for Sachin
Beneath
the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is
something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something
that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us,
even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even
fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their TV sets and
switch off their lives"
BBC on Sachin
But
the finest compliment must be that bookmakers would not fix the odds -
or a game - until Tendulkar was out.

catch chhoda hai?"

"I can be hundred per cent
sure that Sachin will not play for a minute longer when he is not
enjoying himself. He is still so eager to go out there and play. He will
play as long as he feels he can play,"

Que:
Who do you think as most important celebrity ?
Shahrukh: There was a
big party where stars from bollywood and cricket were invited.
Suddenly, there was a big noise, all wanted to see approaching Amitabh
Bachhan.
Then Sachin entered the hall and Amitabh was leading the
queue to get a grab of the GENIUS!!

Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has many
medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the
world
-- Allan Donald
And i remember reading in one of
Allan Donald's interview. This interview was in Cricket Talk and 7-8 yrs
ago.
I was bowling to Sachin
and he hit me for two fours in a row. One from point and the other in
between point and gully. That was the last two balls of the over and the
over after that we (SA) took a wicket and during the group meeting i
told Jonty (Rhodes) to be alert and i know a way to pin Sachin. And i
delivered the first ball of my next over and it was a fuller length
delevery outside offstump. And i shouted catch. To my astonishment the
ball was hit to the cover boundary. Such was the brilliance of Sachin.
His reflex time is the best i have ever seen. Its like 1/20th of a sec.
To get his wicket better not prepare. Atleast
u wont regret if he
hits you for boundaries.
Peter Rebouck - aussie journalist
On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there
was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes
as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers,
railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete
the century. This Genius can stop time in India!!
NKP
Salve, former Union Minister
This was when he was accused of ball
tempering
"Sachin cannot cheat. He is to
cricket what (Mahatma) Gandhiji was to politics. It's clear
discrimination."
Andy Flower:
There
are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the
others.
