Sachin defends bat weight stance
Sachin Tendulkar has responded angrily to questions from Indian journalists about the weight of his bat.

The star batsman has been troubled by tennis elbow since August 2004. An operation in May left him with a further 16 weeks on the sidelines.

But asked whether he would now use a lighter bat to protect his joints, he responded: "People seem to have decided a lot of things for me."

"I will decide what's good for me. That's what I have done for 16 years."
