Sachin Tendulkar is not yet written off : Nasser Hussain
Sachin Tendulkar, the master blaster, has not become “Endulkar”, as some caption has depicted, where as retired England captain Nasser Hussain and former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Farooq Engineer have brushed aside the speculation that Sachin Tendulkar was on the decline . Farooq Engineer, who scored 2611 runs and effected 82 dismissals in 46 Tests for India, commented, “Sachin has reached his peak but certainly he is not on the decline.”

Moin Khan, former Pakistani wicketkeeper, had said in his recent column that Tendulkar’s skills were on a decline and that his reflexes had slowed down with age, making him apprehensive against express fast bowling. There are facts to consider :
• In the two Tests in which he’s batted, on friendly tracks, his scores read 14, 23 and 26. Those same Tests have seen 8 centuries and 11 half-centuries
• His average of 21 is better only than that of Anil Kumble and Rudra Pratap Singh
• In two of the three innings he’s been out bowled, the most ignominious form of dismissal for any batsman, let alone one of his experience.
Farooq Engineer has lot of confidence on Sachin Tendulkar, Farooq said, ” he ( Tendulkar ) will bounce back and make Moin Khan eat his words. Experience will only make him better.” Nasser Hussain also warned against writing off Tendulkar. “Watch out any one who writes off Tendulkar,” Hussain said on February 4, after receiving the HSBC Life Time Achievement Award 2005 organized by Sony Entertainment Television at the Hilton Hotel London. Nasser Hussain spoke very high of Sachin Tendulkar, “Sachin is one of the greatest batsmen ever to have played the game. Though he is idolized as a demi-God in India, he is human and he may have a lean period. He deserves credit for what he has done.”
Best of luck, Sachin Tendulkar, we, desifans, are waiting to feast our eyes with your blasting at the cricket field.
