After the furore caused by Adam Gilchrist's suggestion that Sachin Tendulkar's evidence during the Harbhajan Singh hearing after the Sydney Test was a "joke", Suresh Menon tries to analyse in Tehelka, "why any suggestion of impropriety (on Tendulkar's part) is taken as a personal insult — and, by extension, a national insult".
He also elaborates why he thinks Tendulkar is the greatest all-round batsman in the history of the game.
Bradman and Tendulkar have much in common, the most significant being that they were the repository of all knowledge of the batsmanship of their time... You could go to Sourav Ganguly for the cover drive, VVS Laxman for the on-drive, Rahul Dravid for the square cut, Kevin Pietersen for the lofted drive and so on. Or you could get them all under one roof, as it were, with Tendulkar.
