Don't bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours.

Sachin Tendulkar is, in my time, the best player without doubt - daylight second, Brian Lara third.

If one-day cricket was pyjama cricket, then Twenty20 is underwear cricket.

On a branch
floating downriver
a cricket, singing.

I am one of those fortune people who have seen Bradman and Tendulkar bat in my lifetime and in my opinion Tendulkar is the best batsman I have seen in my life.

In my several years of international cricket, Tendulkar remains the best batsman I have ever bowled to. It's been a pleasure to bowl at the master batsman even though one hasn't always emerged with credit from the engagements.

Ceaseless as the interminable voices of the bell-cricket, all night till dawn my tears flow.

Putting Sachin Tendulkar's latest feat in a strictly cricketing context would not be fair to the sportsman. His achievements in the world of cricket need to be seen on a par with efforts in any other field - science, art, literature, etc - to push the frontiers of human excellence.

This cricket is like a burger, you can have it once a week but for a whole meal, you need to return to Test cricket. More than once a week, and it will give you a tummy ache.

Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn!
