BBC - Ben Dirs: Tendulkar keeps it real

BBC - Ben Dirs: Tendulkar keeps it real: "As a small boy I was something of a stats geek, poring over old record books in those pre-internet days and wondering how it was possible anyone could score 18 Test centuries - as my hero David Gower had - let alone the 34 Sunil Gavaskar had amassed. Then along came Sachin Tendulkar, whose figures would blow the minds of small boys - and old boys - to smithereens.

On the eve of his sixth World Cup, India's 'Little Master' has scored 14,692 runs in 177 Tests, with 51 hundreds and 59 fifties, while in one-day internationals he has 17,629 runs from 444 matches, with 46 hundreds and 93 fifties."
