Be it Shoaib Akhtar, Waqar, Latif, Ponting, Steve Waugh, Gellespie, Brian Lara…even Clive Loydd, Viv Richards…
no matter which foreign cricket personality visits India…they have to be asked a question (by our moron reporters)…“Do you agree Tendulkar is GOD ?” or something on those lines…
and next day… headlines will read…
Will pay to watch Tendulkar says Waugh
Tendulkar more organized than me says Lara
Warne admits he has nightmares about Tendulkar
Its a privilege to watch Tendulkar bat says Waqar
Looks like no interview is complete without the reporter getting a good sound byte on Tendulkar…
Tendulkar IS(was) a god. Not a long while back the only winning formula for the Indian team was
tendulkar scores Indian wins, tendulkar fails, India is doomed. I mean, he was the only one who really mattered.

maybe because they (Indian reporters) use to do it again and again ...... other reason can be that in case of a failure of Tendi or even of the whole Team they still've something to present to the cricket-crazy ppl of India which may cheer them up ......
Question is how often u've to do this til ppl r fed up by this ???????
Because most Indians feel insecure about their own judgment abilities. They need some kind of re-affirmation from foreigners. It's more of a 'feel good' thing for them. Maybe they actually do not believe that Tendulkar is that good. And each dose of 'Tendulkar is better than Bradman' gives them a shot up their ego-ass.
i too get embarrassed when the journalists ask foreign cricketers about Sachin Tendulkar...
also, when somebody criticises Sachin they blahdy go overboard in denouncing him...
