Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian superstar who keeps setting new batting records, is the Jonah Lomu of world cricket.

Little Master is one of the few batsmen to have scored centuries against every Test-playing nation.

But there is just one team he has never beaten while scoring a century against them – and that is South Africa.

Three times he has scored 100s against South Africa – all of them in South Africa – and twice he’s been on the losing side, and the third his team drew.

His highest Test score at home against South Africa is 97, in Mumbai in February 2000, and India still lost that match.

Lomu, the massive bulldozing All Black rugby winger, never managed to score a Test try against South Africa.

An all-round sportsman in his younger days - he was equally awful at cricket, soccer, athletics, swimming, table tennis, tennis, judo, cycling, hockey, basketball, volleyball and touch rugby - David quickly learnt that it was much easier (and far less painful) to be an armchair critic. As a journalist he has covered three Olympic Games, infuriated several sports administrators, reported on numerous other events and irritated Butana Komphela.
