SPORT TENDULKAR PAK 2

"He loves cricket and with his hardwork, focus and
commitment he has truly become a outstanding ambassador for
the sport at a time when commercialism is so rampant," Miandad
said.
Former Pakistan leg-spinner Abdul Qadir, whose duel with
a young Tendulkar in an ODI at Peshawar in the 89' series is
part of cricketing folklore, said the champion batsman was far
from finished and would continue to break many more records.
He said Tendulkar had outshone his illustrious
compatriots with his sheer greatness and love for the game.
"I think Tendulkar has outdone all the other greats with
his hunger for the game which is amazing," Qadir said.
Tendulkar hit Qadir for three sixes in an over in the
Peshawar game at a time when the leg-spinner was at his peak.
"That was a time when I was at my best and even the best
batsmen had second thoughts coming out to hit me. I remember I
kept on goading him to hit me and he took the challenge and
came down to strike me cleanly. It was amazing. I knew
instantly this was someone special," he recalled.
Another former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq said Tendulkar was
a gentleman personified who never allowed fame to get over
him. MORE PTI
