20 Years of Cricket

Ricky Ponting:

"Sachin has set benchmarks for guys like me to chase him and get as close as we can. If I had to last 20 years, I would probably be batting in a wheelchair," he quipped.

Kumara Sangakkara:

He (Tendulkar) has been brilliant. To have survived the tough test of public expectation in India is something, which should be commended. The runs (he has scored) are an added bonus. He's probably the greatest player to play the game in the modern era and compares with the (Donald) Bradmans and all the legends of the past," Sangakkara said.

Yuvaraj:

Yuvraj said: "We call him grandfather. Someone who has played the game for so long and is a legend and still wants to improve; it is just amazing. He still wants to bowl in the nets, he still wants to improve."

Brian Lara:

Lara said "You know genius when you see it. And let me tell you, Sachin is pure genius.”
