Xtremely Xcentric!!!

In the last post, you saw what the cricketers from Down under thought about our Little master. Now, lets see what the legends from other countries have got to say about our God.

West Indies:

DESMOND HAYNES: “In terms of technique and compactness, Sachin is the best.”

SIR VIV RICHARDS: “He is 99.5% perfect. I would pay to see him.”

SIR GARFIELD SOBERS: “Sachin is currently the best batsman in the World.”

BRIAN LARA: “For me, the best batsman in the World is, Sachin Tendulkar. I admire Jacques Kallis’ consistency and Ricky Ponting, with the purple patch that he’s going through. Everybody gets 15 minutes of fame. But, if there is one person that I’ve admired over a 15 year period, its definitely Sachin.”

Lets see what all other legends have a say on the master blaster.

BARRY RICHARDS: “Sachin is Cricket’s GOD.”

SUNIL GAVASKAR: “India’s fortune depends on how well the little champion scores. There is no doubt that Sachin is the REAL thing.”

MOHINDER AMARNATH: “A complete batsman? He is the best in business.”

MICHAEL KASPROWICZ: “Don’t bowl him bad balls. He hits the good ones for 4’s.

TONY GRIEG: “There’s no doubt about it. He is the best.”

SIR GEOFFREY BOYCOTT: “Technically, you cant fault Sachin. Seam or spin,Fast or slow? Nothing is a problem.”

PETER ROEBUCK: “Sometimes back, I had written a piece that said that, Sachin is a Master, and Lara a Genius. Thats it.”

KEITH FLETCHER: “A little genius.”

PAUL STRANG: “What Zimbabwe need is 10 Tendulkars.”

WASIM AKRAM: “Cricketers like Sachin come only once in a lifetime and I’m privileged, he played in my time.”

There are many more famous quotes about Sachin, but all I could do is, collect these few golden words about the God.

There are some things that many people are unaware of, about Sachin. Sachin sponsors 200 under privileged children, every year, through Apnalaya, a Mumbai-based NGO. He is reluctant and humble enough not to speak about this, or his various other charitable activities, choosing to preserve sanctity of his personal life, despite, the overwhelming media interest in him. So, Sachin, is, was and Will remain the GOD of cricket. Sachin is eternal in cricket!!!
