Sachin Tendulkar has developed minor technical flaws, but has no serious problem in his batting. According to former New Zealand batsman Martin Crowe: "Technically, Tendulkar's backfoot, and in particular his right heel, is planted to the ground. It is not moving with his frontfoot, and it is arriving too late. His frontfoot moves and hovers forward as the ball is released; therefore both his feet point to the off side,and not straight to the ball; and then, inadvertently, he starts playing around his front foot and is either missing it or getting out lbw. This technical flaw can be easily fixed or sorted out. He can get up onto his toes more and he can start to move his back foot fractionally up and down to get it activated. This will help him to start to move both feet when the ball is closing in.” This change or correction in technique will help Tendulkar get over his problems against pace bowlers and spinners as well. I disagree with Martin Crowe that at present Tendulkar is a good player of spin. I have seen him too often beaten by many spinners apart from pace bowlers.
