He has faced the most furious fast bowlers in theworld but according to Sachin Tendulkar sledging by speedsters in somethingthat needs to be taken in "good humour."
The ace cricketer has been roped in as the brand ambassadorfor a gaming and experience centre Smaaash, where the cricket simulators mimicthe bowlers.
When asked about his reaction when someone of Wasim Akram'sstature tried use sledging tactics, Tendulkar answered, "It adds flavourto experience. It is one thing to face 90 miles per hour against great bowlersand Wasim obviously was a world class bowler. One of the greatest to haveplayed this sport."
"There is also humour behind everything, whatever experienceyou share with these great players. It is as good as playing a match with them.You get to hear a lot of things from them but things which are not meant to beheard are not recorded," he added.
Tendulkar said that budding cricketers would enjoy the simulatoras they get an opportunity to face world class bowlers, adding that a fewinputs which were duly incorporated.
"It is a wonderful experience for budding cricketers toface the bowling of great cricketers who have played this sport. How would youget a budding cricketer to face Warne or how are you going to get Muralitharan,Brett Lee or Malinga? This is the closest you can get to facing these guys.
Experience how the ball passes through your nose at 90 milesan hour. This is where you need to experience that," he said.
An F1 fan, Tendulkar was in praise for the F-1 simulator andsaid, "I think the simulator is simply unbelievable. To experience theg-force is something you cannot express.
"You have to accelerate and then put the brakes. Thatis when you feel the g-force...The F-1 drivers do it for good three hundredkilometres and to do that and sustain that competitiveness is a different cupof tea. I thoroughly enjoyed. It was my first experience and it is so close to beingactually in a Formula One car."
Shripal Morakhia, who conceptualised it, said that this isfirst of it's kind globally and plan to have 15 such centres around the globein the next two years.
"We have got demand from Pakistan, US, Sri Lanka and Australia,"he said.
