AmreekanDesi Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Well to be honest the average man in the world beyond the common wealth countries does not know Tendulkar at all. Not that theres any reason to as his influence beyond the field is not that much. Also he doesnt come across as a physical specimen in a sporting snese either which doesnt help him as a marketing tool beyond india Prollly the only ones who some Americans/russians etc might know about (that too barely and rarely) are Warnie, Imran Khan. A few more maybe.. Mostly because they banged hot socialites/actresses in their time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmreekanDesi Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Its interesting though. No one knows Sachin or any other cricketer for that matter beyond the cricketing world. And any cricketer known is not known mainly because of his cricketing prowess. But people who dont even follow ball know abt Jordan or Lebron James now. Same with ARod in baseball. I understand tennis etc as these are individual sports but how do you explain the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvvslaxman Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Sachin is not a call centre guy or a spelling bee expert. You said Indians are all over the world. Sachin is only in India playing a sport that is hardly played more than 9 nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilander Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Does she know who is Sania Mirza, i am not too sure. This one is a no brainier, Sachin would not know Alexander Ovechkin so its even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBee Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 How come she said she don't know him ! If I say that I don't know who is Kohli but I'm ready to do an ad with him, Does it makes sense http://portal.bsnl.in/bsnl/asp/content%20mgmt/html%20content/sports/sports78924.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few more maybe.. Mostly because they banged hot socialites/actresses in their time you are right but slightly wrong here Imran Khan: This guy ****ed a lot of B-grade celeb women like and got lucky with some A-graders like Goldie Hawn and his eventual wife and he is very popular in the British high society circles at that time. but mind you sylvester stallone, eddie murphy or sharon stone and the other super stars of the 90s did not know who the **** he was. he was very popular in the commonwealth countries. warnie this guy was actually considered way down the league for a failed but pretty actress. Hurley is no Knightley or Winslet. she is a nobody, but still she was waaaaaaaay above him in the eyes of the world media. For them he was a 50 year old playing a stupid game and an on the field salesman for advanced hair studio. so yeah british and other commonwealth countries knew about him, but americans no chance.

Temujin Khaghan Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Typical dumbo with no knowledge..I bet she doesn't know half of her women field tennis colleagues Actually the men are very polite itseems. Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic are known to smile back, greet and joke around with lower ranked/seeded tennis players in the change room or the practice courts. the women are very *****y with each other. serena, maria etc.. are not really known to be very friendly. i am sure they dont know many names outside the top-10 there was an article on this some time back.
