Sachin Tendulkar has hit back at John Buchanan for finding faults in his batting technique against pace bowling and advised the former Australian coach to change his opinion which "doesn't have to be right all the time".
"It is only his opinion. John Buchanan doesn't have to be right all the time. If I couldn't handle short deliveries, then I wouldn't still be scoring runs," Tendulkar said in an interview to the 'Wisden'.
"Maybe he needs to change his opinion. There must be something very wrong with all the bowlers around the world that they have allowed me to score so many runs," he retorted.
Buchanan had said before India's 2007 tour of Australia that video analysis of the Tendulkar reveals his footwork has become sluggish, especially early in his innings, making him vulnerable to short-pitched deliveries followed by a fuller one.
Sachin need not respond to these silly comments.It will only give importance to a limelight seeker like Buchanan.Sachin responding is exactly what Buchanan wants.
some how Buchanan got some credit,as the accidental coach during an Australian Team performance in an era Australia had such legendary players like McGrath,Warne,Gilchrist,Hayden,Langer,Ponting playing together.
No coach was neeeded to motivate such a highly motivated,highly talented all-conquering team.
We all saw what Buchanan achieved with the Kolkota Knight Riders team.All his so-called out-of-box ideas like multi-captaincy etc either did not materialise or bombed badly or remained in the box itself...
Mr.John Buchanan is a nobody in the world of Cricket.Sachin Tendulkar is a living Legend in cricket world.
Sachin has scored runs in all countries in all sorts of pitches against all sorts of bowlers under all sorts of circumstances..
He doesn't need to get into a to-and-fro with a NOBODY..!
