Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel whohas many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers allover the world. I was bowling to Sachin and he hit me for two fours ina row. One from point and the other in between point and gully. Thatwas the last two balls of the over and the over after that we (SA)took a wicket and during the group meeting i told Jonty (Rhodes) to bealert and i know a way to pin Sachin. And i delivered the first ballof my next over and it was a fuller length delevery outside offstump.And i shouted catch. To my astonishment the ball was hit to the coverboundary. Such was the brilliance of Sachin. His reflex time is thebest i have ever seen. Its like 1/20th of a sec. To get his wicketbetter not prepare. Atleast u wont regret if he hits you forboundaries.Allan Donald
