#OnThisDay, Sachin Tendulkar scored his maiden Test hundred at Old Trafford in 1990.

Some of the players involved relive that knock, and the Test: https://es.pn/3annzg1 
"The biggest thing for me standing a few feet behind him was that he seemed to have so much time against the pace bowlers. He was a quick reader of the length and that's what stood him apart." - Jack Russell

"Some of us were standing at the balcony when Sachin and Manoj were batting. And Kiran More made us stand there forever because the partnership was going on well... so we stood there till the end of the match." - Anil Kumble

"Some batsmen look different at the end of their careers than they do at the start. Their technique evolves. But you look at Tendulkar at the start and you look at Tendulkar at the end, he was almost the same." - Angus Fraser

"At the press conference, Tendulkar surprised us with his high-pitched voice, which made him seem like a 14-year-old... and when the sponsor's award of a jeroboam of champagne was handed to him, he gently protested: 'But I do not drink!'" - David Frith

"The full scorecard of this Test hangs on a wall of my home. Signed by Sachin. I obtained it after the Test as I had got a five-for and got it signed by all those who had scored hundreds or taken five-fors." - Angus Fraser
