For all sachin lovers...

 @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?(Do you know whom catch u had dropped?)" Wasim Akram to Abdul
 Razzaq
 when the latter dropped Sachin's catch.



 @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
 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.

(In india,you can point finger to even prime minister but not on sachin)

 @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.
