Regret is I am not in Mumbai today. Sharing an extract of a legendary batsman I would go anywhere to watch - Tendulkar corners the praise market - flashbook to a World Cup match in South Afica. Sachin Tendulkars 75-ball 98 has been the innings of the 2003 World Cup and quite justifiably it cornered the praise market. Renowned cricket writer Peter Roebuck called it the greatest one-day innings ever. Sachin Tendulkar has produced the most astonishing innings seen in 50-over cricket since the matches began. Tendulkar was blistering and monumental, ruthlessly attacking off both feet and on both sides of the wicket, Roebuck wrote in the Sunday Times, London. Writing in The Observer, London, former England all-rounder Vic Marks, for his part, observed: This is why we come. Occasionally the grand occasion coincides with the presence of a genius at the peak of his powers and we are mesmerised. For two hours Tendulkar bewitched a capacity crowd and sent his adoring supporters into ecstasy. For the neutrals it was a privilege to witness a sublime innings that touched perfection - one of those I was there moments. Australian legend Greg Chappell, meanwhile, called a Tendulakr a .rare gem. while Imran Khan predicted that the little master in his current form .could bring the Cup to India..
