BEST QUOTES ON SACHIN :

» I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him.

: Sir Donald Bradman.

» 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.

» When it comes to judging the best among these fabulous band of batsmen, my vote goes to Tendulkar. He has an uncanny ability to come out on top under different circumstances and under different conditions, whether it is Test cricket or one-day internationals. And more importantly, he has done this so young.

» You have to decide for yourself whether you're bowling well or not. He's going to hit you for fours and sixes anyway.

»"You have to watch India in India truly to appreciate the pressure that Sachin Tendulkar is under every time he bats. Outside grounds, people wait until he goes in before paying to enter. They seem to want a wicket to fall even though it is their own side that will suffer".

: Wasim Akram.

In my previous post "yet another century" someone said that any one can put 100 facts regarding any batsman, now give me so many quotes about other players by these legends. Still i have many quotes on Sachin by other legends too which i have not posted. Sachin is incomparable with other cricketers . A cut above the rest.
