Conspicuous is the indifference with which Sachin talks about facing fast bowlers like Marshall and Ambrose. Simplicity is definitely the first step towards greatness and after watching his 21 years stint in world cricket, probably the last too!
Just to add from his recent interview in the British Daily 'The Guardian'
The 37-year-old batsman, who has spent over 20 years in international cricket, is often compared to Sir Don Bradman and Tendulkar recalled some special moments he spent with the late Australian legend.
"We went to see him on his 90th birthday. It was very special. We were talking about averages and I said, 'Sir Don, if you were playing today, what would you have averaged?' And he said, '70 – probably.' I asked, 'Why 70 and not your actual average of 99?' Bradman said, 'Come on, an average of 70 is not bad for a 90-year-old man.'
"This is what I tell my son. Whether you're an 11-year-old boy or Don Bradman we should never forget it's just a game we can all enjoy."
