“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

'I will see God when I die, but till then I will look at Sachin' - A banner in Sharjah
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. 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. I delivered the first ball of my next over and it was a fuller length delivery outside off stump. I shouted catch. To my astonishment the ball was hit to the cover boundary. Such is the brilliance of Sachin. His reflex time is the best i have ever seen. It is like 1/20th of a sec. To get his wicket, better not prepare. At least you wont regret if he hits you for boundaries. Allan Donald
On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt at one of the stations. The train stopped for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing a 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!! - Peter Rebouck - Aussie journalist
