Sachin Tendulkar - a legend.

Sachin Tendulkar - a legend.

Some quotes:

by Hashim Amla

"Nothing bad can happen to us if we're on a plane in India with Sachin

Tendulkar on it."

Hashim Amla, the South African batsman, reassures himself as he boards a

flight

by Yaseer Hameed

"Sometimes you get so engrossed in watching batsmen like Rahul Dravid

and Sachin Tendulkar that you lose focus on your job."

"Tuzhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai?"

"Tuzhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai?" Wasim Akram to Abdul

Razzaq when the latter dropped Sachin's catch.

"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.

Brian Charles Lara again

Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal.

by Mark Taylor

"We did not lose to a team called India...we lost to a man called

Sachin" - Mark Taylor, during the test match in Chennai (1997)

by M.L.Jaisimha:

"The more I see of him the more confused I'm getting to which is his

best knock."

by McGrath

"The joy he brings to the millions of his countrymen, the grace with

which he handles all the adulation and the expectations and his innate

humility - all make for a one-in-a-billion individual,"

by Wife Anjali

"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,"

by Hayden

"I have seen God. He bats at No. 4 for India."

"Even my father's name is Sachin Tendulkar."

Tendulkar's daughter, Sara, tells her class her father's name after the

teacher informs them of a restaurant of the same name in Mumbai

by KUMBLE : I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets!

by Shahrukh Khan

quoting Shahrukh from an interview

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!!

by Navjot Singh Sidhu

India me aap PrimeMinister ko ek Baar Katghare me khada kar sakte

hain.. Par Sachin Tendulkar par Ungli nahi utha Sakte..

by waqar younis

He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also .

A banner once said-' I will see God when I die but till then I will see Sachin.'

Sachin 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.

by 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!!

by 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. "

by Andy Flower:

There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all

the others.
