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

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

complete the century. This Genius can stop time
in India!! - Peter Rebouck - Aussie journalist
