Mathew Hayden:
His life seems to be a stillness in a frantic world… [When he goes out to bat], it is beyond chaos – it is a frantic appeal by a nation to one man. The people see him as a God…
Sir Don Bradman:
I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two…high compactness, technique, stroke production… it all seemed to gel!
Michael Kasprowicz:
Don’t bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours.”
Viv Richards:
I think he is marvellous. I think he will fit in whatever category of Cricket that has been played or will be played, from the first ball that has ever been bowled to the last ball that’s going to be. He can play in any era and at any level.
BBC Sports:
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 television sets and switch off their lives.
Dravid:
Playing in the same team as Sachin is a huge honour. His balance of mind, shrewd judgement, modesty and, above all, his technical brilliance make him my all-time hero… You can’t get a more complete cricketer than Sachin. He has everything that a cricketer needs to have.
As a batsman, he has the technique, the hunger and the desire for runs. He always contributes with the bat as well as on the field. He also is a good fielder and bowls when needs. You really can’t ask for a better cricketer than Sachin… He is a terrific person and has handled pressure brilliantly. He has handled his success very well and doesn’t have any airs about him. He is a great guy and very good team man. In his heart of hearts, he is a very simple and down to earth person.
Harsha bhogle:
If Sachin plays well..india sleeps well
Kasprowicz
During the Bangalore Test, frustrated, he went to Dennis Lillee and asked, “Mate, do you see any weaknesses?” Lillee replied, “No Michael, as long as you walk off with your pride that’s all you can do”.
Harsha Bhogle:
There’s no better sight on the cricket field than watch Tendulkar bat.
Now here is a vacuum cleaner that’s size zero. It does not give an impression of a vacuum cleaner in the first look (my first impression was that it looks like an advanced robotic walking stick), but the Dyson DC35 Digital Slim Vacuum ($300) is a great design with great functionality. It runs on a Dyson digital motor and weighs less than 10 pounds. Various features of the vacuum cleaner are: Radix Cyclone technology, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and a motorized floor tool with carbon fiber brushes. This vacuum cleaner can be well used in a standing posture and you need not bend and get a backache while you are using this.
