I long thought about what to write about him, but only to realize that I should better stop blogging. But on the other hand, how can I have no post on him. So what I am going to do is to present you a compilation of 50 best quotes on Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar:
1-Shane Warne
"I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player."
2- A True fan of Sachin carried this Banner in a match
"Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting. They will go unnoticed because even the Lord is busy watching him batting!!!."
3-Adam Hollioke
"In an over I can bowl six different balls. But then Sachin looks at me with a sort of gentle arrogance down the pitch as if to say 'Can you bowl me another one?'"
4-Steve Waugh
"There is no shame being beaten by such a great player. We didn't lose to Team India. We Lost to Sachin Tendulkar"
.After loosing the Coca Cola Cup to India
5-Dennis Lillee
"If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard."
6-Micheal Kasprowicz
"You have to decide for yourself whether you're bowling well or not. He's going to hit you for fours and sixes anyway?"
7-Brett Lee
"You might pitch a ball on the off stump and think you have bowled a good ball and he walks across and hits it for two behind midwicket. His bat looks so heavy but he just waves it around like it's a toothpick? "
8-Brain Lara
"Everybody gets 15 minutes of fame. But if there's one person I've admired over a 15-year of period, it's definitely Sachin."
9-Paul Strang
"What we (Zimbabwe) need is 10 Tendulkars."
10-Wasim Akram
"sachin should appologize for the way he has played"
After Sachin's 98 in WC2003
11-Sir Donald 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...his compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel !"
12-BBC on 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 "
13-Methew HAYDON
"I have seen God. He bats at number 4 for India"
14-Viv Richards
He is 99.5 per cent perfect. I'd pay to see him.
15--Brian Lara
The only batsman i would love to see by paying for the tickets and sitting in the stand just to watch him is none other than Sachin Tendulkar
16-Wasim Akram
Today, he showed the world why he is considered the best batsman around. Some of the shots he played were simply amazing. Earlier, opposing teams used to feel that Sachin's dismissal meant they could win the game. Today, I feel that the Indian players, too, feel this way.

17Ian Chappell
Whenever I see Sachin play I am reminded of the Graeme Pollock quote of Cricket being a 'see the ball, hit the ball game.' He hits the ball as if it's there to be hit.
18-Navjot Sidhu:
"His mind is like a computer. He stores data on bowlers and knows where they are going to pitch the ball."
19-Mark Taylor
"We did not lose to a team called India...we lost to a man called Sachin"
during the test match in Chennai (1997)
20-Rahul 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.
21-Imran Khan
He was, is and will remain a jewel in India's batting crown for the next foreseeable future
22-Andy Flower
There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others.
23-Amitabh Bachhan
“Sachin (Tendulkar) is the heartbeat of our nation. The country breathes every time he goes out to play and when he is out, the country stops breathing.”
24-Harsha Bhogle
There’s no better sight on the cricket field than watch Tendulkar bat
25-Australian Media
"The most exciting batsman of his time because he finds the right balance between reason and passion, technique and power, nerves and placement and judgement that applies to all tastes."
