The Saint..Picked up from CricInfo.com

Well like every other Indian i am a great fan of Sachin Tendulkar... Recently went through an article at CricInfo.com that appeared in the November 2003 issue of Wisden Asia Cricket. That was really awesome...I personally liked the last paragraph of the article,i have marked that para and italicized it for the ease of finding it......Here follows : *********** The two keenest appreciations of Sachin Tendulkar were made from vantage points that could not have been more opposite to each other, and together serve as an incontrovertible cross-reference to his greatness. The first was Sir Donald Bradman's famous remark to his wife during the1996 World Cup that Tendulkar put him in mind of how he himself batted. The second is the widespread understanding in the cricket community that match-fixers will not successfully get on with their crooked business until Tendulkar is out, and an anecdotal account of how Tendulkar once unwittingly ruined a fix by batting too blissfully well.
