Sachin Tendulkar - The GOD of Cricket | Praising the GOD | Comments of cricketers on Sachin Tendulkar

Here are the comments of other cricketers on GOD-Of-Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar. Let us see what other cricketers thought about Sachin-our beloved tendlya.

@Hashim Amla 

"Nothing bad can happen to us if we're on a plane in India with Sachin Tendulkar on it." 

Hashim Amla, the South African batsman, reassures himself as he boards a flight. 

@Yaseer Hameed 

"Sometimes you get so engrossed in watching batsmen like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar that you lose focus on your job." 

"To Sachin, the man we all want to be" 

- What Andrew Symonds wrote on an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially for Sachin 

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.

But the finest compliment must be that bookmakers would not fix the odds - or a game - until Tendulkar was out. 

"Tuzhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai?" 

Wasim Akram to Abdul Razzaq when the latter dropped Sachin's catch.

@Brian Charles Lara  

Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal. 

@Mark Taylor 

"We did not lose to a team called India...we lost to a man called Sachin" 

- Mark Taylor, during the test match in Chennai (1997) 

@M. L. Jaisimha 

"The more I see of him the more confused I'm getting to which is his best knock." 

@McGrath 

"The joy he brings to the millions of his countrymen, the grace with which he handles all the adulation and the expectations and his innate humility -all make for a one-in-a-billion individual" 

@Wife Anjali 

"I can be hundred per cent sure that Sachin will not play for a minute longer when he is not enjoying himself. He is still so eager to go out there and play. He will play as long as he feels he can play." 

by HAYDEN - i feel is the best SACHIN QUOTE 

he said 

"I HAVE SEEN GOD, HE BATS AT NO.4 FOR INDIA" 

My Personal Best 

"Even my father's name is Sachin Tendulkar." 

Tendulkar's daughter, Sara, tells her class her father's name after the teacher informs them of a restaurant of the same name in Mumbai 

@KUMBLE  

I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets! 

@ shahrukh 

quoting Shahrukh from an interview 

Que: Who do you think as most important celebrity ? 

Shahrukh: There was a big party where stars from bollywood and cricket were invited. Suddenly, there was a big noise, all wanted to see approaching Amitabh Bachhan. 

Then Sachin entered the hall and Amitabh was leading the queue to get a grab of the GENIUS!! 

@Navjot Singh Sidhu 

India me aap PrimeMinister ko ek Baar Katghare me khada kar sakte hain..Par Sachin Tendulkar par Ungli nahi utha Sakte.

@waqar younis 

He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also. 

A banner once said- 

'I WILL SEE GOD WHEN I DIE BUT TILL THEN I WILL SEE SACHIN ' 

that quiet defines Sachin-The greatest. 

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 

-- Allan Donald 

And i remember reading in one of Allan Donald's interview. This interview was in Cricket Talk and 7-8 yrs ago. 

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. At-least, you wont regret if he hits you for boundaries. 

Peter Rebouck - aussie journalist 

On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing 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!! 

NKP Salve, former Union Minister 

This was when he was accused of ball tempering 

"Sachin cannot cheat. He is to cricket what (Mahatma) Gandhiji was to politics. It's clear discrimination." 

Andy Flower

There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others. 

These are what the testimonials for the greatness of Sachin Tendulkar. But, yes..he is more than just a cricketer in India. Every Indian expects at least 100 runs from him every time he pads up and usually, he does not let his well-wishers down. He brings smile to every Indian face with his bat, makes everyone forget their worries. Thats what Sachin Tendulkar is!!! He brings joy to the country and not mere cricket trophies.  

Hats off to this living legend!!!

Newtons Laws of Love | Newton in Romantic Mood

We all have studied Newtons laws of motions. Here we tried to think what would be the Newton's laws if he would have written them for love, instead of motions. Here are Newtons Laws of Love which remained unpublished so far. 

Universal Law:

"Love can neither be created nor be destroyed; only it can transfer from One girlfriend to another girlfriend with some loss of money."

First Law:

"A boy in love with a girl, continue to be in love with her and a girl in love with a boy, continue to be in love with him, until or unless any external agent (brother or father of the gal) comes into play and break the legs of the boy."

Second Law:

"The rate of change of intensity of love of a girl towards a boy is directly proportional to the instantaneous bank balance of the boy and the direction of this love is same to as increment or decrement of the bank balance."

Third Law:

"The force applied while proposing a girl by a boy is equal and opposite to the force applied by the girl while slapping."

Reducing the Phone Bills

The phone bill was exceptionally high and the man of the house called a family meeting... on a Saturday morning... after breakfast...

Dad : People this is unacceptable. You have to limit the use of the phone. I do not use this phone, I use the one at the office.

Mum : Same here, I hardly use this home telephone as I use my work telephone.

Son : Me too, I never use the home phone. I always use my company mobile.

Maid : So - what is the problem? We all use our work telephones !

It was the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils.

The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Flowers." "That's right!" the boy said,

"But, how did you know?" "Oh, just a wild guess," she said.

The next pupil was the sweet shop owner's daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets."

"That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl. "Oh, just a wild guess," said the teacher.

The next gift was from the son of the liquor storeowner. The teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop off the leakage with her finger and put it to her tongue. "Is it wine?" she asked.

"No," the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, tasting a larger drop of the leakage. "Is it champagne?" she asked.

"No," the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more big taste before declaring, "I give up, what is it?"

With great glee, the boy replied, "It's a puppy!"

Story - The Pig and The Cow

The Pig and the Cow

A rich man complained to his friend: "People don't like me. They say I'm selfish and stingy. And yet in my last will and testament I have donated all that I own to charitable cause." His friend said: "Well, maybe the story of the cow and the pig has a lesson for you."

"The pig came to the cow and complained: 'People always talk about your friendliness. I know you are friendly, you do give them milk. But they get much, much more from me. They get ham and bacon and lard and they even cook my feet. And yet - no one likes me. To all of them I am just a pig, a hog. Why is that?' The cow thought it over a bit and then said: 'Perhaps it's because I give while I am still alive!'"
