Joining Bradman Foundation 'wonderful' - Tendulkar

Thursday, October 30 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Sachin Tendulkar and Steve Waugh are inducted as honourees of the Bradman Foundation at a ceremony at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Australia. The charity was set-up in 1987 with the support of Australian cricket legend Sir Donald Bradman.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Sachin Tendulkar, former India cricketer:

    "To meet Sir Donald on his 90th birthday, when I was invited to meet him on his 90th birthday, I was in the middle of a camp and I had to ask BCCI's permission to leave the camp so I could come here for a couple of days and go back. To get with him was special. I remember Warney (Shane Warne) was with me in the car and we were discussing who was going to ask the first question. And I said, 'You are from Australia, you should start,' and he said, 'No, you are a batsman so you will be able to relate to him much better than I can.' The whole experience was wonderful because it one thing just to be able to meet the great man, but also to know a funnier side to him as well. I asked him a question -- 'What would you average in today's cricket?' -- and he thought about it and said about 70. The natural reaction -- 'Why only 70 and not 99?' He said, 'It's not bad for a 90-year-old man!' So to get to see that side of him was really special and I will always cherish those memories."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Steve Waugh, former Australia cricketer:

    "To be associated in anyway with Sir Donald Bradman's name is a great honour, particularly with Sach (Tendulkar) and Sir Brad, it really doesn't get any better, having those two great names. My family is coming along tonight to my first cricket function for a long, a long time so it's going to be a special night. I feel very honoured to be here today."
