Wellington: Sachin Tendulkar may not boast a Bradmanesque average but his ability to adjust to all formats of the game makes him the greatest batsman ever, legendary New Zealand all-rounder Richard Hadlee said in Wellington on Friday.
Hadlee, who was inducted into the International Cricket Council's Hall of Fame on Friday, was in absolute awe of the Indian run-machine and said he had no doubt that he was the greatest batsman ever to grace the game.
"I played against Sachin on his tour here in 1990 when he got that 80 or 90-odd at the McLean Park in Napier. You could see then as a youngster he was a player of immense ability and talent.
"We didn't see at that time and you cannot visualise 20 years down the track what the player is likely to do in the context of the history of the game. He clearly he has been phenomenal," said the 57-year-old, arguably one of the finest all-rounders of all time.
Justifying his high regard for the Indian, Hadlee said, "When you score as many runs as he has in Test and one-day cricket and score as many centuries and half centuries as he has done, it makes him arguably the greatest player ever in the history of the game. Statistics speak volumes of his contribution to Indian and world cricket. He is a phenomenal player." Asked if it meant Tendulkar was greater than even Don Bradman, Hadlee said, "Well, Sir Donald Bradman has been regarded as the greatest player ever. He played just Test cricket. He hasn't played any other forms of the game. Clearly that is understandable.
"But to see Sachin and other players actually adjust to different forms of the game and different conditions all around the world, even though the average is fractionally more than half of the Don's is in itself incredible. You got to respect it and write those performances," he explained.
Hadlee also felt comparisons should drive a player.
"At the end of the day it doesn't matter who are compared with. It is what you actually do yourself. I don't think anyone can dispute the contributions that Sachin and (Rahul) Dravid have made. The contributions of these players have made to Indian cricket are outstanding."

Former New Zealand all-rounder Richard Hadlee believes Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest batsman ever to grace the game. Hadlee, 57, who became the first official inductee to ICC's Hall of Fame on the first day of the Wellington Test, said he was in awe of Tendulkar whose achievements down the years "clearly had been phenomenal".
"I played against Sachin on his tour here in 1990 when he got that 80 or 90-odd at McLean Park in Napier," Hadlee told PTI. "You could see then, as a youngster, he was a player of immense ability and talent.

The ICC has drawn up an initial list of 55 inductees to the Hall of Fame, and Hadlee was the only New Zealander to have made the cut. "I have been very fortunate during my playing career and to be recognised is very very special," Hadlee said. "To be one of the first 55 inductees, it doesn't get much better than that.
He said he would like to be remembered as "somebody who played hard in a very successful era for New Zealand cricket". "This honour is right up there with the others," he said. "So many fantastic players have been recognised, some that I have played against, others that I watched and read about as a youngster, and many others in the early 1900s that were legendary in their own right and fantastic role models."
Hadlee played 86 Tests from 1973 to 1990 during which he took a then record 431 wickets and scored 3,124 runs. He also picked up 158 wickets and made 1,751 runs in 115 ODIs. Hadlee said his "best Test win" came at Brisbane in 1985-86 where he picked up 15 wickets. "As sports people, we all strive for perfection and the closest I could get to that was against the Australians at the Gabba," Hadlee said. "We'd never won in Australia before, and to go ahead and win that Test by an innings and 41 runs and to make a personal contribution of nine wickets in the first innings (he had a hand in the 10th dismissal as a catcher) and six in the second and scored a few runs… you can't get better than really. Everything came together at the right time..."

Duminy eager to take tips from Tendulkar
Cricketnext.com
Posted on Apr 02, 2009 at 08:32 | Updated Apr 02, 2009 at 18:18
Cape Town: South Africa's promising youngster Jean-Paul Duminy is eagerly waiting to take tips from champion batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya during his stint with the Mumbai Indians in the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) in South Africa.
"I am really looking forward to playing with those players, the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya," he has been quoted as saying in the South African media.
"I looked up to them as a young boy and to be playing alongside them is a great honour. I am definitely going to try and learn as much as I can from them and get to know them as well as I can," he added.
Insisting that the youngsters like him were really looking forward to the cash rich Twenty20 tournament despite a heavy schedule, Duminy said, he would have loved to have known the players more closely.
"It will be a big step for the young guys and I am sure it will be a good learning curve for everyone. For a lot of youngsters, their heroes are playing in IPL and to be able to watch them live at some of the venues is going to be a great experience," Duminy said.
"However, It's just such a rush though. We play our last ODI match against Australia on April 17 and the next day I play for Mumbai Indians. It would have been a lot better if there was time to mingle with the guys before, just to know everybody. But unfortunately the circumstances won't allow that, so I have to get into it as soon as possible," he added.

First autographed bat
My first and only autographed bat was of Sachin Tendulkar. I took one of his MRF bats in Chennai in 2005, before the Test against Sri Lanka. I wanted it as a souvenir. He was generous enough to give me a note as well: "Score lots of runs".

Tendulkar goes past 50 for the 95th time in his incredible Test career
(CNN) -- Test record runs scorer Sachin Tendulkar led the way for India on the first day of the third and final Test in Wellington on Friday, but New Zealand kept alive their hopes of leveling the series.
Tendulkar has proved a major thorn in the side of the Kiwis all series.
India scored quickly at the Basin Reserve, but wickets also fell regularly as they closed on 375 for nine with Ishant Sharma 15 not out and fellow tailender Munaf Patel unbeaten on 14.
Batting maestro Tendulkar was the top scorer with 62, his 53rd Test half-century, while India captain MS Dhoni, back in the side after missing the Test in Napier with a back problem, made 52 and put on a valuable 79-run stand with Harbhajan Singh, who made an entertaining 60.
It boosted India in the final session as they piled up 185 runs off 35 overs for the loss of just four wickets.
New Zealand, who lost the opening Test in Hamilton before having the better of the drawn match in Napier, plugged away all day with paceman Chris Martin leading the way with three wickets.
Recalled Tim Southee chipped in with two as did Iain O'Brien, with James Franklin and Jesse Ryder picking up a wicket apiece.
Martin claimed the prized scalps of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid and then removed Harbhajan late in the day to finish with three for 95 off 24 overs
Tendulkar went past 50 for the 95th time in Tests, striking 11 boundaries and reaching his landmark just after lunch.
But his dismissal brought about a mini-collapse with VVS Laxman and Yuvraj Singh quickly following.
It left India 190 for five at tea, but Dhoni and Harbhajan were in belligerent form in the final session and batted India towards a defendable target
Actually wanted to share this thought here earlier
Hadlee has been in great appreciation of Tendulkar ever since the tour started. During Tests, his commentary on sachin and his shots were listener's delight especially if you were a sachin fan. He often used the words "batting manual" on sachin's strokes.
Hearing such a comment (Sachin the greatest batsman ever)from an ICC Hall of Fame Inductee and one of the greatest all rounders the sport has ever produced is indeed something sort of an award in itself. Sachin fans, its my hope and belief that there are much more good moments to come and let's hope that such good things continue to occur.
WELLINGTON: Rated the greatest batsman ever by legendary all-rounder Richard Hadlee, star Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar said the accolade was a
pleasant surprise for him, coming from a player of such unquestionable credentials.
Hadlee recently rated Tendulkar even higher than Don Bradman, considering the Indian's staggering success in both the long and short formats of the game.
Tendulkar said it was a rare honour, especially coming from Hadlee, one of the greatest all-rounders to have played the game ever.
"Nobody has ever said like that before. I am happy and satisfied," an elated Tendulkar said.
"This comes as a pleasant surprise and it comes from a personality whose credentials cannot be questioned. I am happy that I played with him on my first tour to New Zealand in 1989," the Indian told a website.
Hadlee had earlier pointed to Tendulkar's mind-boggling achievements while rating him the greatest batsman ever.
"Sir Donald Bradman has been regarded as the greatest player ever. He played just Test cricket. He hasn't played any other forms of the game. Clearly that is understandable.
"But to see Sachin and other players actually adjust to different forms of the game and different conditions all around the world, even though the average is fractionally more than half of the Don's is in itself incredible. You got to respect it," Hadlee had said.
Tendulkar recalled his first encounter with the star Kiwi player and said, "I also cherish that memory. I still remember one moment after the Napier Test. He was giving an interview in a television in which I found he made his debut in 1973. I was born in the same year, which means when he made his debut in Tests, I was just born. Yet I got the opportunity to play against him."
Even the ongoing tour, in which India won the ODI series and is on the verge of clinching the Test rubber as well, has been memorable for him, said Tendulkar.
"This is really a memorable tour for me. We won the series and got an excellent accolade from Sir Richard Hadlee," he added.
Tendulkar had no doubt that the squad under Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a "special" side which was winning regularly abroad.
"No doubt, it's a special team. The most important factor of the team is that we are winning matches regularly in foreign countries", he said.
"Previously we won only at home. Now we have started winning in Australia, West Indies, England, South Africa, Pakistan, almost in every country", Tendulkar said.
"We did not win a Test series in New Zealand in the last 41 years and the whole team had one ambition before coming here. We are happy that we are going back as winners," he said.
Asked if this would be his most memorable win, Tendulkar said, "Not really. But I am enjoying every moment of it. One gets special pleasure for anything he would get for the first time. I would be able to say proudly for the next generation that I was also a part of a team which won a Test in New Zealand."

Sachin: This Kiwi tour has been special
Sachin Tendulkar, speaking exclusively to espnstar.com said the current tour of New Zealand has been very special for him.
Q. You got your 42nd Test century at Hamilton and won the Man of the Match award. You looked overjoyed. Any particular reason?
A. One does enjoy the moment of receiving the 'Man of the Match' award if his team can manage to win. We won a Test match in New Zealand after 33 years and I played a small role to win the match for India. Not only me,but whole of our dressing room enjoyed like anything.

Q. Any special comment on the current Indian team?
A. No doubt, it's a special team. The most important factor of the team is that we are winning matches regularly in foreign countries.
Previously we won only at home. Now we have started winning in Australia, West Indies, England, South Africa, Pakistan, almost in every country. We did not win a Test series in New Zealand in the last 41 years
The whole team had one ambition before coming here. We are happy that we are going back as winners.
Q. What did you tell the younger boys of the team after winning the Hamilton Test?
A. They are really lucky. I told them what we faced on our earlier tours. I tried narrating them the obstacles of those tours. It took seven tours to New Zealand win a Test match. In other words, 20 years. I am really elated for this victory.
Q.Is it the most memorable win?
A. Not really. But I am enjoying every moment of it. One gets special pleasure for anything he would get for the first time. I would be able to say proudly for the next generation that I was also a part of a team which won a Test in New Zealand.
Q. Sir Richard Hadlee is of the opinion that you are the greatest ever?
A. Nobody has ever said like that before. I am happy and satisfied. This comes as a pleasant surprise and it comes from a personality whose credentials cannot be questioned. I am happy that I played with him on my first tour to New Zealand in 1989.
Q. Hadlee remembers your innings of 88 at Napier on that tour.
A. I also cherish that memory. I still remember one moment after the Napier Test . He was giving an interview in a television in which I found he made his debut in 1973. I was born in the same year, which means when he made his debut in Tests when i was just born. Yet I got the opportunity to play against him. This is really a memorable tour for me. We won the series and got an excellent accolade from Sir Richard Hadlee.

Sachin Tendulkar is one of the very few batsmen who has drawn comparison from the cricket experts with Sir Don Bradman (regarded as the greatest Test batsman ever). I had never seen the batting of Bradman but that comparison from the experts in itself is a testimony of Tendulkar’s genius. :smokesmirk: In fact, Bradman himself has stated that the batting of the Little Master reminded himself of his own batting. 8-)Quote:

Its a different thing that other modern batsmen have adopted such shots, but he is the pioneer and more versatile than the rest because he is good with traditional shots AND capable of improvising.
I recently saw one of his Sharjah matches where he glances the ball to third man for a four. Commentators were crying "edged to third man for a boundary". After multiple replays, they were like "Wait... that looks like intentional, he opened the blade of the bat.. bla bla" :lol: I am sure any modern day commentator would have identified that it is intentional, just that Sachin pioneered such strokes which people never thought of :P
Lara was flamboyant and could play all the shots in the book too, but McGrath bowling potta mattum avaru dabba dance aadidum :lol:

Interestingly, McGrath has dismissed Lara 15 times in Tests, just four less than his biggest 'bunny' Michael Atherton whom he claimed 19 times. He dismissed Tendulkar six times.

Warne says: "Day in and day out Sachin is the best." The corollary is obvious: other batsmen, great ones too, have slumps; Tendulkar's form varies as little as a dying man's heartbeat.
Yet Warne is not finished. "Lara is the best to watch when he is in form." In full flow, says leg spin's Picasso, "You'd pay money to watch him. He and Adam (Gilchrist) are the most exciting."
TV - warne was smashed by Lara too, but its not graded high with the logic of 'playin a bowler whose deliveries come into u' are easy(ier) to play, thts why Sachin is graded high with Warne and in the case of Murali, he rates Lara better
however i dont wanna get into an argument, i disagreed to that statement by MC ambuttu dhaan :P we might end up arguing over 50 pages and still our views wont change :lol2:

Sachin Tendulkar secured the votes of Shastri and Smith to be No. 4, while Bishop went for the promise (and all-round fielding) of A. B. de Villiers, although he would have batted at No. 6 in Bishop's team. Shastri's reasoning: "Tendulkar scored two 150s in the back yard of the best team in the world," as Australia still were in January 2008. Later, in December, Tendulkar put the finishing touch to his CV, the match-winning fourth-innings hundred against England at Chennai.

Make hay while Sachin shines!
Garima Bharti, Tuesday, April 07, 2009
This is what I counter-thought when I saw a cricket fan carrying a banner saying "Sachin! Make hay while the sun shines," and the champion batsman crafted his 42nd Test hundred in Hamilton. Maybe the fan wanted Sachin to score quickly in the rain-threatening New Zealand weather, but it had other connotations as well.
Many find it absurd when I say Sachin Tendulkar doesn't figure in my 'favourite cricketers' list. My logic is simple. The list starts after him. With all due respect to the prowess of his contemporaries and promises shown by the young talents, Sachin to cricket is what cricket is to India. Inseparable! Incredible!
In his 20-year-long career in international cricket, the Master Blaster overcame every known injury, made and broke almost every imaginable batting record, played innumerable match-winning knocks and set his own benchmark. But most importantly, he carried hopes of a cricket-crazy nation every time he walked out to bat and brought smiles to over a billion faces.
No doubt the current crop of players have responded well to the new challenges and are shouldering responsibilities with aplomb. Now nobody relies on Sachin to always play like the ultimate saviour. But at the same time everybody knows, as long as the Little Master is out there, one can always expect something special.
In the just-concluded New Zealand tour, he showed how his mere presence touched the morale of the two teams. After the back-to-back T20 losses, cricket pundits, sharpening their daggers, were waiting for one more failure to attack Dhoni's knights. While some criticised Dhoni's tactics, the superstitious ones blamed the new 'Blue Jersey' for bad luck.
Come Tendulkar, everybody takes a sigh of relief, including the captain. "The amount of contribution he can make to the side from his experience is amazing. He changes the dressing room atmosphere completely," Dhoni once said.
The last 12-14 months have been phenomenal for Team India. A few players like Gautam Gambhir and Zaheer Khan took their game to the next level and assured that the future of the Indian cricket was in safe hands.
But Tendulkar was equally instrumental in most of those victories, be it the CB series win in Australia, Mohali Test against Australia, Chennai Test against England or the first Test against New Zealand in Hamilton.
His presence at the non-striker's end not only gives confidence to his batting partners, but also makes them conscious of playing a poor shot. Sachin's ability to change the approach and adapt to the situation not only makes him the strongest pillar of the Indian team, but also the storehouse of knowledge for the new crop of players. From on-field application to off-field demeanor, the younger lot can learn so much from him.
With recession leaving many with gloomy faces before the General Elections, one doesn't know if India is actually shining. What one can be assured of is, as long as Sachin is there, Team India will definitely shine!

He is a batsman who can adjust his technique according to the pitch conditions and also play specific kind of strokes (both text book and improvised) based on the surface. The paddle sweep, the inside out shot over covers, the uppercut are all there for everyone to see. But that doesn't make Lara's batting any less of a spectacle to watch. 8-) Let's safely leave it there. :wink:
Tendulkar to launch his wax figure on April 13
MUMBAI: Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar will launch his new wax figure, flown directly from Madame Tassaud's museum in London, on April
Tendulkar is the first Indian sports personality to be featured in the famous Madame Taussad's museum.
Incidentally, it is also the first time that a Madame Taussad figure will be launched overseas.
The museum decided to flew Tendulkar's wax figure 7000 kms to Mumbai just for a meeting with the cricketing legend.
The wax figure has taken only three months to create and is dressed in the master blaster-donated white cricketing jersey.
