- 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."

‘I Will See God When I Die But Till Then I Will See 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. 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

Thnx but the credit doesn’t go to me. My friend sent it to me.
I know this aint a question , but I tried my level best to make it into one!

Really enjoyed reading all the comments, my star to you is recognition of your efforts.

Don’t know, which one to choose, think the list includes all the nationalities, some top cricketers themselves saying all the adjectives about their fellow cricketer, so rubbish postings in YA, about Sachin, should see this list & refrain yourself from such postings.

His daughter’s quip is amazing, so his humility on the field isn’t fabricated, he keeps things simple at home too, well said sir, can’t choose between odes to Sachin, as all are said so nicely about a decent human being, super star of cricket !!!!!
