He has spent 15 years in International cricket but Rahul Dravid says he continues to be inspired by Sachin Tendulkar, with whom he has starred in 19 Test century stands.

"He's been phenomenal, has had terrific last 2-3 years and possibly done the best batting of his life," said Dravid in his ever-earnest manner after his first practice session in the Caribbean on Friday.

Bolt dreams of watching Tendulkar play live
June 25, 2011 16:52 IST

Sachin Tendulkar's [ Images ] long list of admirers keeps on growing with world and Olympic [ Images ] champion sprinter Usain Bolt [ Images ] on Saturday saying he was one of the "greatest cricketer" and he dreams of watching the Indian champion play live.

Bolt, one of the most celebrated modern sporting icons, also said that he would one day run in India [ Images ], despite the fact that had pulled out of the Commonwealth Games [ Images ] held in New Delhi [ Images ] last year.

Usain Bolt"For me he (Tendulkar) is one of the greatest cricketers I have seen. He has done extremely well and he is a very aggressive cricketer. I look forward to the day when I can see him play live," said the Jamaican 100m world record holder (9.58secs) about Tendulkar who opted out of India's ongoing West Indies [ Images ] tour to take rest.

"It would be great had he (Tendulkar) played in Jamaica (in India's first Test against West Indies). I want to see him play, that is my dream," said the triple Olympic and World Championships gold medallist.

Bolt also said that he loved the aggressive attitude of Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni [ Images ] during the first Test in Kingston [ Images ].

"I loved to watch Dhoni, he is aggressive. Both of them (Dhoni and Tendulkar) are aggressive players," he told Times Now.

Bolt's favourite West Indies player is swashbuckling batsman Chris Gayle [ Images ], who was axed from the squad due to a stand-off with his Cricket Board.

"I want to watch Chris Gayle play. I have never met him and he is my favourite," said Bolt about his compatriot.

Asked about any chance of running in India, Bolt said, "In future I hope I can make a comeback in India as I heard there is a big fanbase for me there. I like to thank them for the support and I would urge them to keep supporting me."

He said his focus now is to reach peak form during the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea from August 27 to September 4.

"I want to do my best in the World Championships and I am working for that. My focus is the World Championships and I want to be the best there."

All surprises today, First usain bolt next roger !!!

It was a meeting of legends and a rare photo op for all when Indian cricket maestro Sachin Tendulkar met tennis great Roger Federer at Wimbledon on Saturday.

The Indian legend, a regular at Wimbledon Championships every year, was seen sharing a few thoughts with the World No 2 during their brief meet on day 6 of the Wimbledon championships.

http://im.rediff.com/sports/2011/jun...er-sachin1.jpg

Tendulkar was earlier spotted in the Royal box on Centre Court as he witnessed the match between Australia's Jarmila Gajdosova and world No.1 Caroline Wozniacki. Tendulkar watched as the world No 1 effortlessly outclassed the Australian 6-3, 6-2 in their 3rd round encounter.

Later, Sachin went to meet Federer, who defeated Argentina's David Nalbandian in their third round match.

The 2011 version of Nalbandian bore little resemblance to the player who tormented and tortured the Swiss in their first five meetings, all of which the Argentine won, and on day six of the championships Federer glided into the last 16 with a delectable 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 win.


http://im.rediff.com/sports/2011/jun...rer-sachin.jpg


Federer, himself, has confessed in the past that he loves playing cricket during his spare time.

"I like playing cricket for enjoyment, but I don't think I could have made a living out of it," he was quoted as saying.

Tendulkar's love for tennis is also common knowledge to everyone and he makes it a point to be at Wimbledon every year.

The veteran cricketer was a big fan of John McEnroe and used to wear a head band like the American. He had also revealed that he loves to play tennis whenever he gets the time.

"For me as a kid the choice was between tennis and cricket and I feel that I didn't make a bad choice. Though, I still love tennis and watch it whenever
I get time," he had said.

Commentary in Indhi.

Sachin Tendulkar's Yorkshire roots helped make him a master of modesty
apdi pOdu aruvALa! Tendulkar greatnesskum England dhAmpA kAraNam.

avaru Yorkshire pOnappO dhAn avarukku modesty and humility kaththu koduthAngaLAm :rotfl:

Faramu does disturb some threads with his venom against England but when the media there, is like this, no wonder he is like that

One Yorkshire man left a loser comment:

Not sure what Roger Federer was doing wasteing his time meeting Sachin Tendulker whonever won anything his whole career until this year at the age of 37 thanks to his team mates on home soil who won the world cup for him Roger unlike Sachin is a serial winner he has the titles to prove it unlike Tendulker who has only ever achieved personal awards,stats and goals yet never done anything for his country as player or captain lifting big prizes!

Bottom comments of FAIL:

So much for 'one of their own' :rotfl:

Oh, yes, what a lovely bloke
This is a man that has so much power and arrogance that he, along with Dhoni - yes, just two men, have halted the progress of cricket
No UDRS for the Indian series, and exactly what Tendulkar wants (Hotspot) for the next World Cup - what Sachin want India wants
Disgrace, and should be vilified by all in the lead up to the Test series, not fawned over as yet another article does
For Indian cricket fans his record is his contribution to cricket - for the rest of us, past and present, it is this that will always stand as his contribution to cricket

This is the very match in which sachin reaches 11000 runs in TEST'S and later was wrongly judged LBW by simon taufel.

Yeah, The Yorkshire roots article is pretty funny. Kinda entirely discounts his middle-class Marathi/Indian roots, his father/brother's mentoring and the freedom given by them during his teenage days. Inge velayandaaru adhanala dhan humble ngra madhiri ezhudhirukaanga.

1 slip catch of Zaheer khan. What a combo that is.

1 plum lb of his bowling

10 runs with 2 exquisite fours.
