Happy Birthday Sachin!!!
When he walks into bat, from the oceans across India, there rises a roar of anticipation, a roar of joy, a roar of unbeleivable-unmeasureable-unfatthomable happiness.
Sachin tendulkar was born on 24th of April 1973,
having very humble beginnings & a very
humble family background, Sachin started his cricketing career
in the International circuit at very tender age of 16.
He kept on playing against all kinds of deadly oppositions,
kept on working endlessly on his game,
kept on breaking records after records,
kept on making new ones, one after the other,
and upon all that,
kept on being a very well spoken and
very humble human being.
Upon all this,
he has no controversies against his name,
no wrong doings done ever.
Always played the game,
with the 'True' spirit of a 'Sportsman'.
Few quotes on Sachin:
"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.
"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.
"Don't bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours"
- Michael Kasprowicz.
"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
Like Brain Lara once famously said,
"Finally, the world records
of a sport, for a change,
have gone to the most Deserving of them all".
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!!!."
