[cricket] Bhajji Speaks:'Aussies were busy writing books, while we prepared

Yes, in fact, before the start of the first Test, Ponting had said, 'I really think we can take them on in the field, almost a new-age type of Test cricket that can make a few of their guys look a bit old and a bit slow.'

Let him say what he wants; we are happy with whatever cricket we play. At the end of the day, we are happy with our result and let him be happy with his modern age cricket and do whatever he does. We are very happy with our cricket, whether is old age or new age. We stuck to our plans and we have done really well.

No wonder in the middle of a series, he came up with a book and started crying again, 'I have done this, I have done that.'

Even Adam Gilchrist did a very wrong thing by criticising a legend like Sachin Tendulkar in his book. Tendulkar has been such a great player for India and done so many things not only for Indian cricket but also world cricket. I think there is something wrong with him, else you would not point a finger at Tendulkar.

Ponting also tried to distract us with his book by saying various things about the Sydney Test. We had moved on from that Sydney Test but these guys were still stuck at it by writing something new in their books everyday. I had such a difficult time in Australia after that incident, I was blamed by their players and then even the crowds booed me, but I overcame everything, but it seems they have not got over it.

I think they were busy writing for their books, while we were busy preparing for the series. You can see what difference it has made.

"Destined to be a great" -Barry Richards.

"He is 99.5 percent perfect. I'd pay to see him" - Viv Richards.

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

"It's scary, where the hell do we bowl to him" -Allan Border.

"There is no shame being beaten by such a great player. We didn't lose to Team India . We Lost to Sachin Tendulkar" -Steve Waugh.

"Cricketers like Sachin come once in a lifetime and I am privileged he played in my time" - Wasim Akram.

"The pressure on me is nothing as compared to Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin, like God, must never fail. The crowd always expects him to succeed and it is too much pressure on him" -Mark Waugh.

"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." - Brain Lara

"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" -Shane Warne.

"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" -Sir Donald Bradman.

"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?'" - Adam Hollioke

Sachin is cricket's God! Barry Richards.

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 arounad like it's a toothpick? -Brett Lee

You have to decide for yourself whether you're bowling well or not. He's going to hit you for fours and sixes anyway? -Micheal Kasprowicz

Technically, you can't fault Sachin. Seam or spin, fast or slow ? nothing is a problem? -Geoffrey Boycott.

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... ? Mathew Hayden

I (Embarrassed laugh) am a normal person who plays cricket. I am nothing more than that? Sachin Tendulkar, on being told of above quote.


"The fact of the matter is that India still need Sachin in a big way. All this talk of the youngsters taking over is very foolish. The reason why Tendulkar is so important for the team is because of his ability to inspire others and make them perform under pressure" - Some day on "Times of India ".

Cricket is the religion and sachin is the God Team India without Sachin is like Temple without God.

And, this is the best!!! (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 will be gone to watch his batting!!!."

Yes, Sachin is not only the Cricket's God, the Cricketers' God... No one can be atheist here!!!
