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 its a toothpick. Brett Lee, on Sachin Tendulkars batting, 1999 BBC Sports: Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we dont 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 television sets and switch off their lives. Sunil Gavaskar: Indias fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing. Geoffrey Boycott: Technically, you cant fault Sachin. Seam or spin, fast or slow nothing is a problem. Sir Garfield Sobers: I have watched a lot of Tendulkar and we have spoken to each other a lot. He has it in him to be among the very best. Alistair Campbell: After loosing to India in the Coca Cola Cup final at Sharjah in November 98 He has everything a top batsman needs. Tendulkar is a classic example of a player being so good that his age is an irrelevance David Boon: Technically he stands out as the best because of his ability to increase the pace at will
