Sachin Tendulkar did not getgoing on Saturday night but his long-cherished dream of winning the World Cupcame true. This is what he had to say minutes after the special victory."Special thanks to Gary,Paddy and the whole support staff, especially Mike Horn, who joined us beforethe World Cup started and also for the last few games. He worked on our mentalside, on the expectations and about dealing the pressure. The team stucktogether through ups and downs. There were rough phases in between but we stucktogether and proved most of the people who were doubting our ability wrong."
On self-belief in this team, he said: "Yes, it was always there.Just that the last couple of years it has been a little more; we've beenextremely consistent. It's a great honour to be part of this team."
On finally winning a World Cup after such a long wait, the Mumbaimaestro said: "It's never too late, as they say. Winning the World Cup is theultimate thing. Thanks to all my teammates, without such fabulous performancesand such consistency we could never have done it. Did he cry? "They were happytears, so I don't mind."
