Questions for Sachin Tendulkar

Kapil (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:17 PDT)

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MAN OF THE SERIES AWARDS YOU HAVE WON?

balaji (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:17 PDT)

sachin i know its difficult to answer lots of questions being thrown at ya, please answer atleast one question from me .....

Vinay (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:17 PDT)

how did u feel when u scored ur first century

Joy (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:16 PDT)

Sachin: Please say something to me.

Indian (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:16 PDT)

Sachin!!! (repeat Question) Hey .. I have a simple question .. in that India Today article (with you on the cover page - I know there have been many .. but I am talking about the latest one) .. they have said that you ACTUALLY try to make the bowler bowl in a way that YOU want him to? .. Is that true? .. Could you elaborate on that please? You have changed the simple process of a batsman facing a bowler into a chess game!!

Sanjay (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:16 PDT)

Sachin, In past years like the early 80 india had a problem that they did not score fast enough .. we batted for 2 days and built up 400 odd .. now we see reports where india cannot bat long .. we still score 400 but batsman donot occupy the crease .. is there any effort to change that ??

Nikhil (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:16 PDT)

hey sachin how's little sara doing???

Roshan (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:16 PDT)

Your %age of runs in the V-region have decreased in the last few months. You seem to prefer the mid-wicket region now-a-days. Are you comfortable with that? Will it work on all pitches/opposition/condition?

RAJIV (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:16 PDT)

Rajiv : Do you think that you cna break the highest test runs Record of 375 ?

srinath (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:16 PDT)

Subhash (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:16 PDT)

Hello Sachin! Wish you all the best for the pakistan series. One more thing, please remember that if you end up with less than 35 test match hundreds and 50 one day international hundreds, you'd have disappointed me and I think yourself as well. BTW, what are your goals? (Though I know that you hate to disclose them...:) )

RahulKamdar (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:16 PDT)

WHAT DO YOU FEEL WILL HAPPEN IN THW WORLD CUP ABOUT INDIA AND OTHER TEAMS?

Tanmay (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:16 PDT)

Hey Sachin !!! Are you looking out for some specific bowler of Pak whom you will get after and thrash - like you did to Warne... I know, that it was healthy competition though... but however - is there anything of this sort

azza (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:18 PDT)

Rajshresta (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:18 PDT)

Deepak (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:17 PDT)

Ranjit (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:18 PDT)

Siddhartha (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:19 PDT)

chivuks (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:19 PDT)

Sachin, do you have any plans to tackle Donald. I would love to seem you whack him all over the park, for the dominance he is showing for a very long time.

Mukesh (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:19 PDT)

Would you like to regain the captainship, if Azhar decides to step down after the WC or if the selectors should decide to make a change ? And would you be a better captain than last

Meraj (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:20 PDT)

Is sachin there or is it a NON-EVENT?

milind (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:20 PDT)

For once can you prove your detractors (are there any??)wrong by scoring a long innings of 250 plus. Leaving all the good balls alone and just playing all the bad ones like Sunil Gavaskar used to do. ??

sajidb (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:20 PDT)

Sachin, Thanx for answering questions so nicely. Could you please tell us why, we Indians do perfom well as a team while we have so much talent. There is something lacking in us. If we would have played like a team, we would have won the third test in NZ ?

anuj` (Mon Jan 25 1999 9:20 PDT)
