Posting on thePlanetCricket forums, Big Ant Studios CEO Ross Symons said: For ‘personalities’ sometimes you just know someone, or someone that knows someone, and it works out directly and they tell their agent to just do the deal. I have family that knows Sachin, [but I] still had to go through management though and it didn’t work out.”

Asked by a PlanetCricket member if he knew how much it would cost to have Tendulkar endorse the game, Symonsreplied:I do. We couldn’t come to an arrangement”, suggesting that the deal with Tendulkar fell through for financial reasons."
