It is never a pleasant thing to be called a liar and I was extremely angry." Sachin Tendulkar !
"Bhajji had gone past 50 when it all started.
For a number of overs he had been telling me that Andrew Symonds was trying to get him riled.
I asked Bhajji not to rise to it but to continue batting the way he was.
I knew only too well that by retaliating he would just play into the Australians' hands.
The best thing to do is to ignore such provocation.
That's easy enough to say, but of course it's not always so easy to keep your cool at moments of intense pressure.
