Asked for his reaction to Shane Shillingford&rsquo;s dismissal of Sachin Tendulkar in the Kolkata Test yesterday, Saqlain, who dismissed the Indian batting great in both innings of the 1999 Chennai Test, said: &ldquo;I would not like to discuss the secret plan we had for Sachin, but we had discussed Sachin at length. <img alt="Saqlain Mushtaq" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/Saqlain-Mushtaq.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 678px;" /> Saqlain Mushtaq We studied the plus and minus points of the master and the boys were asked to concentrate on certain aspects,&rdquo; he said from London.u00a0 &ldquo;I am very happy for my boy, Shane Shillingford, who dismissed Sachin. Obviously, when a player with whom one has worked with, performs, you feel proud and Sachin&rsquo;s scalp is always a prize wicket. Sachin perished &ndash; albeit controversially &ndash; to Shillingford&rsquo;s doosra, but Saqlain refused to believe that the Indian master was a bit weak when it came to tackling the delivery. &ldquo;Sachin has hit my doosras for fours and sixes. He&rsquo;s a very good player and capable of playing all varieties of bowling,&rdquo; On Shillingford, he added: &ldquo;He is a quick learner and is never afraid of experimenting. He is a hardworking student of the game and has terrific fighting spirit.&rdquo;u00a0 u00a0 u00a0 u00a0 u00a0 u00a0 u00a0 u00a0
