Speaking on the documentary ‘Bradman and Tendulkar – The story of two of cricket’s giants’ Damien Fleming quipped that even Siri doesn’t know where to bowl to Sachin Tendulkar after he was interrupted by Siri – the AI interface – on his watch.
“He was quick to get into position but he was often late to play his shots so it was really hard to fool him. Siri, where do you bowl to Tendulkar? Didn’t answer, did he? Even Siri doesn’t know where to bowl to Tendulkar,” Damien Fleming said.

It Was Just Two Legends Of The Game Going At Each Other – Damien Fleming
Fleming recalled the 1998 series between India and Australia, where Tendulkar had the upper hand over spin bowling legend Shane Warne, calling it loud and two legends of the game going at each other.
“I remember on that 1998 tour… we were Tendulkar-centric at that stage. It was nuts. If you were trying to move a fielder, unless they actually looked at you, they could not hear you. When Warne would get the ball, it wasn’t quite as loud as Tendulkar but it was loud. It was just two legends of the game going at each other,” said Fleming.
Sachin slammed 143 against an attack that included Shane Warne, Damien Fleming, and Michael Kasprowicz at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium, where temperatures reached 41 degrees Celsius. Despite the fact that the century came in a losing cause against Australia in Sharjah, it became known as the ‘Desert Storm’ after play was stopped for 25 minutes.
