சச்சினைப் பற்றி இவங்க எல்லாம்....

Sir Donald 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...his compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel !"

David Boon
''Technically he stands out as the best because of his ability to increase the pace at will''

Dennis Lillee
"If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard"

Steve Waugh
"You take Don Bradman away and he is next up I reckon."

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."

Steve Waugh: (after being defeated in the Coca Cola Cup finals in Sharjah)
"It was one of the greatest innings I have ever seen. There is no shame being beaten by such a great player, Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don''.

Australian Media
"The most exciting batsman of his time because he finds the right balance between reason and passion, technique and power, nerves and placement and judgement that applies to all tastes."
