Time Magazine's quote on Sachin*

"When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest
bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to
race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego
Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete
Sampras had never won a Grand Slam. When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious
career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel
Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican
backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country,
Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy. It seems while
Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he
excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have
had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin
Tendulkar and we never will."
