Hussain lauds Tendulkar's temperament

Former England captain Nasser Hussain paid tribute to Indian batting ace Sachin Tendulkar for holding his own despite the turbulence that has engulfed the visitors in the aftermath of losing back-to-back Tests.

"Even when I played against him, I always noticed how he would purely focus on his batting, on his game, despite so much happening around him. In other words, he never reacts to any sledges. He is there, standing still, and batting like only he can. It's a tremendous testament to his fantastic technique and temperament," added Hussain.

Hussain further wished Tendulkar would get his hundredth hundred at England's second largest venue. "I wish he gets it here (at Edgbaston). It's a historic ground and it will be a fitting place to do it. I am still banking on England to win the series 3-0, but it would be nice to watch Tendulkar score a gem," said Hussain.
