“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."

is not enjoying himself. He is still so eager to go out there and play. He will play as

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. 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.
- Allan Donald

passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the
century. This Genius can stop time in India !!
