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...hi compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel!
....Sir Don Bradman
------------------
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.

"Tujhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai (Do you know whose catch you have dropped)?" Wasim Akram, after Abdul Razzaq dropped Sachin Tendulkar in the India-Pakistan match
------------------
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.
Brett Lee, on Sachin Tendulkar’s batting, 1999
-----------------
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, Australian Cricketer on Sachin Tendulkar.
----------------
Consensus is that Sir Donald Bradman was the best batsman ever to play Cricket. Sir Don did not play One-Day Cricket but if he did, he could easily be Sachin Tendulkar.
Barry Richards

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 television sets and switch off their lives.
--BBC Sports, on Sachin Tendulkar.
--------------
I think he is marvellous. I think he will fit in whatever category of Cricket that has been played or will be played, from the first ball that has ever been bowled to the last ball that’s going to be. He can play in any era and at any level. I would say he’s 99.5% perfect.
Viv Richards on Sachin Tendulkar
--------------
That little fella who opens the batting is one of the best batsman I've seen or played agains
Ricky Ponting on Sachin Tendulkar
-------------
On the loss in the Coca-Cola Cup final in Sharjah, Warne says, "We were once again Tendul-corized!"
-------------
"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
-------------
"You take Don Bradman away and he is next up I reckon."
...Steve Waugh
-------------
"What we (Zimbabwe) need is 10 Tendulkars."
...Paul strang
------------
"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(England)
