Sachin Tendulkar has been the most wholesome batsman of his time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon as well. His batting is based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that intangible quality given only to geniuses, anticipation. If he doesn't have a signature stroke - the upright, back-foot punch comes close - it is because he is equally proficient in each of the full range of orthodox shots (and plenty of improvised ones as well) and can pull them out at will.

Don't bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours !!!

I'd like to see him go out and bat one day with a stump. I'll tell you he'd do okay !!!
- Greg Chappell

I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin dancing down the wicket and belting me back over my head for six !!!
- Shane Warne

He is 99.5% perfect. I'd pay to watch him play.
- Sir Viv Richards

Sir Donald Bradman did not play One Day Cricket but if he did, he could have been as good as Sachin Tendulkar !!!

Happy Birthday Sachin ...
