Some of the most awesome sights in all of world cricket is when a rip roaring fast bowler comes up against a batsman of gigantic talent and appetite for scoring. Isn’t it? It is actually these brilliant Cricket Team encounters between some of the most dominant men wielding the bat and the most lethal fast bowlers that the fans of the game so avidly look forward to. After all, this is what the exciting game of cricket is all about and just the brilliant stuff that’s sort of hype up cricket contest, irrespective of where a game is being played.

And a particular incident which Sir Ian Bishop, former West Indian fast bowling legend recalls, and that with boy like wonder is his brilliant mashup against legendary Indian batsmen and a cricket DemiGod where batting is concerned – Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.

When Bishop met Sachin

We have seen the two amazingly talent Cricketers squaring off against one other back in the 1990s, when both of them were at their prime, and in the very initial stages of their careers. This was during India’s tour of the West Indies and in particularly during a famous test match, which took place at Barbados in which India were 81 all out in pursuit of just 120.

But besides this as well, the two came against one other at the peak of County Cricket in England, miles away from the familiarity of Indian turfs or the West Indian conditions.

And while on the one hand, in Ian Bishop there was a bowler at the prime of his physical fitness and bowling at top level speeds, there was on the other hand a brilliant talisman with the bat in the form of Tendulkar, even though dainty in size. And and we already asked Cricket fan’s know the share amazement that Bishop generates when he begins to narrate some of the brilliant cricket tales and stories back from back in the days.

And that’s exactly what the great Trinidadian did very recently when speaking to Nikhil Uttamchandani, he brought up the distinct narrative of Bishop Square of against Tendulkar in his rich vain of style.

Speaking exclusively at the super over podcast with best Indian legend, Carlos Brathwaite, by his side. This is how IAN Bishop described his encounter against Tendulkar:

"You used to run up to bowl to Sachin and he’d stand on your good length ball and punch it down the ground for 4 and I’m going - WHAT? Was that a bad ball? He’d hit your good balls for four and was hard to contain".

Not too surprising But it’s hardly a surprise, because Tendulkar’s talent was subliminal and always knew no bounds.
