"To Sachin, the man we all want to be"- Andrew Symonds wrote on an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially for Sachin.

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 TV sets and switch off their lives."

Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has many

medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the world. I was

bowling to Sachin and he hit me for two fours in a row. One from point and the other

in between point and gully. That was the last two balls of the over and the over after

that we (SA) took a wicket and during the group meeting i told Jonty (Rhodes) to bealert and i know a way to pin Sachin. And i delivered the first ball of my next over

and it was a fuller length delevery outside offstump. And i shouted catch. To my

astonishment the ball was hit to the cover boundary. Such was the brilliance of

Sachin. His reflex time is the best i have ever seen. Its like 1/20th of a sec. To get his

wicket better not prepare. Atleast u wont regret if he hits you for boundaries.

- Allan Donald
