Sachin couldn’t negate short deliveries in Australia: Pollock

The Hindu  

Former South African captain Shaun Pollock claimed that Sachin Tendulkar had once told him that he found it difficult to tackle the “short-pitched” bowling in Australia but effectively managed with shots over wicketkeeper and slip-cordon. Pollock, who took 393 ODI wickets and 421 scalps in Tests besides scoring over 3,500 runs in both formats, said there was a time when all their plans would fall apart against Tendulkar and they would wait for him to make a mistake. “There were times, especially in the subcontinent, where you thought, ‘I’m not sure we can knock this guy over’ We were hoping he would make a mistake, rather than had a genuine plan,” said Pollock. The glorious run of Team India in 2019 Considered one of the greatest batsman to have played the game, Tendulkar ended his illustrious career after amassing 34,357 international runs across all the three formats.
