http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Isaac-Vivian-Alexander-Richards-c64548 praises Sachin for 100 tons – Cricket News Update
Legendary West Indian batsman, Sir Viv Richards, joined the international chorus of appreciation for the iconic http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, describing him as a genius, Trojan and a manic player.
Lavishing praise on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
"I believe Sir Donald Bradman is the greatest of them all, but seeing Tendulkar bat, I can say that when he is in top flight, in a variety of conditions, I have seen the best,” said the 60-year-old former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 all-rounder when approached to comment
on Sachin Tendulkar’s elusive ton of tons.
"He has been a genius when it comes to ability, a Trojan when it comes to work ethic and manic when it comes to his focus. Yet we often miss the little things that make him both human and exceptional," Richards added further.
Sachin Tendulkar, who will celebrate his 39th birthday next month, scored the historic century on Friday afternoon during an Asia Cup match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 at the Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur.
The Indian veteran had suffered a lethal tennis elbow injury in the midst of his career (2004) and it was deemed that the injury might cut short his international cricketing career. But the Master Blaster underwent a corrective surgery and made a emphatic
comeback to the grounds with match winning performances in the final two Tests of the home Test series against Australia the same year.
Sir Richards lavished praise on the Indian batting prodigy for the way he overcame those setbacks and played at the highest level with unmatched distinctions.
"Friday's century was a testimony to Sachin Tendulkar's self belief and his unwavering focus,” said Sir Richards.
Sachin’s retirement has been the most talked-about topic over the past couple of months and now after the Master Blaster has reached the milestone as well, cricket pundits are advising him to call it a day on his international career. But the Caribbean batting
legend said that Tendulkar should be given the right to decide when to hang his boots.
