"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
@Yaseer Hameed
"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
@Brian Charles Lara
Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal.
@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)
@M. L. Jaisimha:
"The more I see of him the more
confused I'm getting to which is his best knock."
@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"
@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,"
@ HAYDEN - i feel is the best SACHIN
QUOTE he said
"I HAVE SEEN GOD, HE BATS AT NO.4 FOR INDIA"
My Personal Best: "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
KUMBLE:
I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets!
@Shahrukh
Question: 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!!
@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 '
that quiet defines Sachin-The greatest.
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 delivery outside off-stump.
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. It’s like 1/20th
of a sec. To get his wicket better not prepare. At least u
won’t 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 kinds of batsmen in the world. One Sachin
Tendulkar - two all the others. |
