1 Page 1 of 9 12/11/2009 Cricket and Sports Best quotes on Sachin Tendulkar In our series of features on Sachin completing 20 years in International cricket, we present some of the best quotes that current and former cricketers have made on the master-blaster. Find what Don Bradman, Sunil Gavaskar, Dennis Lillee, Greg Chappell, have to say about Sachin Tendulkar. Matt Hayden: "I have seen God, he bats at no. 4 for India" Peter Roebuck "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!!" Dennis Lillee

2 Page 2 of 9 If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard. Glenn McGrath I still think Tendulkar is the best batsmen in the world ahead of Steve Waugh and Lara. Brain Lara Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal. Sir Don Bradman I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two...hi compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel! in reference to Sachin Tendulkar. Andy Flower: "There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others." Allan Donald: "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"

3 Page 3 of 9 Sunil Gavaskar India's fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing. Richie Benaud He has defined cricket in his fabulous, impeccable manner. He is to batting what Shane Warne is to bowling. Geoffrey Boycott Technically, you can't fault Sachin. Seam or spin, fast or slow nothing is a problem. Greg Chappell He is a perfectly balanced batsman and knows perfectly well when to attack and when to play defensive cricket. He has developed the ability to treat bowlers all over the world with contempt and can destroy any attack with utmost ease.

4 Page 4 of 9 Shane Warne I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player. Viv Richards on Sachin Tendulkar I think he is marvellous. I think he will fit in whatever category of Cricket that has been played or will be played, from the first ball that has ever been bowled to the last ball that's going to be. He can play in any era and at any level. I would say he's 99.5% perfect. BBC Sports, on Sachin Tendulkar 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 television sets and switch off their lives.

Andrew Symonds "To Sachin, the man we all want to be" What Symonds wrote on an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially for Sachin. 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) Source: India syndicate Join the discussion!

7 Page 7 of 9 Many Congratulations to our beloved Sachin! for having served India selflessly for 20+ years and enduring the tsunamis of criticism when India lost a match. He however has been a thorough sportsperson with the highest standards of morals, loyalties, enthusiasm, inspiration and above all humbleness. Now lets stop judging Sachin and rate others with respect to him (Theory of Relativity...!), SACHIN =100. find_fact 12 November :41:40 If Sachin is playing it will be good for him and his family.please do not praise him much.its counter productive game to India GDP itself.so many ordinary bread winners are sitting in front of television without doing any work.let Sachin pay them at the end of the day!.god bless these people!!!. mohammad motala 12 November :02:16 **** u 'utt'... its very easy to sit in yo filthy rum wid lousy lappy n criticise sachin... jus becoz u cant b sachin... he is a god for evry indian except u n ull b d one who will b lickin his feet on d judgement day to get u out of hell... so its betta dat u use yo fingers on yo **** not on keyboard writin abt sachin... sangar 12 November :13:54 I cant imagine an indain team without tendul. if it is the case i will stop watching cricket itself. i wonder why many people are accusing him as not a match winner.

9 Page 9 of 9 who is not a match winner... pappe 12 November :45:47 Besides the innumerable runs he has scored,the sheer joy which he has given all these years is beyond compare.he will surely be called the best ever batsman in the years to come.he has played on all sorts of surfaces,against all sorts of attacks,in all forms of cricket,be it test or one day,he has stood his ground and place i.e. no. 1. All the opposition teams have planned and replanned and are still planning but they reach only upto his broad blade and are struck back ferociously.above all the way he carries himself is exemplary and should be learnt by every other person. May God give him what he wishes, he has done his job to the fullest of 23 Next To add a comment, please sign-in Latest Cricket News Asked to leave Eden ground, Irfan charges at pitch cuarator Pakistan beat New Zealand by 49 runs in first T20 Sachin is the 'God of cricket': Lata Mangeshkar I feel nervous while starting a new innings: Tendulkar ICC introduces anti-racism, anti-corruption codes More...
