Paying tribute to Sachin Tendulkar on his reaching the milestone of 20 years in international cricket, former India captain Sourav
Ganguly on Saturday described the Mumbai maestro as the greatest batsman of his generation.
"Probably Sachin is the best batsman I have seen. He just amazes me. He just keeps going on and on. We hope he carries on some more years," Ganguly, who was Tendulkar's one-time opening ODI partner, said.
"It's not just about talent but it's how you use talent that makes you special. There have been a lot of players who had talents but they have not continued for a long time and that's what makes Sachin special. He uses his talent to the most," said Ganguly.
Congratulating Tendulkar, who will complete 20 years of international cricket on Sunday, Ganguly said, "First I want to congratulate him on completing 20 years in international cricket which is phenomenal. Starting at the age of 16 and going on to play for 20 years with this intensity is unbelievable."
Having featured in more than 400 matches with Tendulkar, Ganguly said he had scores of memories with the Mumbai batsman since they met in Indore during a U-15 national camp.
"I have got a lot of memories. I met him for the first time in 1987-88. I had heard a lot about him. From the day one, I knew he was special," Ganguly said.

Dear Mr. Konop,
I thank you for your recent work exposing the dog warden.His experience and habits are so outdated when it comes to saving dogs and cats and finding them forever homes. I currently live in wood county but I am certainly on your band wagon to save these dogs and puppies.How can I get the pit bull puppies from the dog warden if I agree that I will find forever homes for them out of his Lucas County. I have found some pitbull rescues that I will contct if you can give me the advice as to how I can get the dogs and puppies. I have information for our taxpayers that Denver alone costs their taxpayers $800,000 to ban pit bulls. There is a grave misunderstanding about the breed. Could you help me in my Quest to get these dogs or at least the puppies?
My e-mail is pjeanhen@gmail.com. I will be waiting to hear from you and thank you for your efforts. Pamela Henson
