To all Sachin Fans

To all those who idolize the genius named “SACHIN TENDULKAR”!!!

 

@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

 

 

@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

 

 

 

But the finest compliment must be that bookmakers would not fix the odds -

or a game - until Tendulkar was out.

 

 

 

"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.

 

 

 

@Brian Charles Lara again

 

 

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,"

 

 

 

by HAYDEN - i feel is the best SACHIN QUOTE

 

 

he said

"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

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

@ shahrukh

 

 

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!!

 

 

 

@Navjot Singh Sidhu

 

 

India me aap PrimeMinister ko ek Baar Katghare me khada kar sakte hain..Par

Sachin Tendulkar par Ungli nahi utha Sakte..

 

 

@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 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.
