At times, when batsmen are not under pressure, it becomes easy to face the bowlers.
By the time I made my international debut Tendulkar was already being counted among the best batsmen in the world. Most bowlers knew that his was the crucial wicket in an Indian batting line-up that boasted of many talented batsmen.
The new-ball bowlers usually bowl seven to eight overs before we spinners come into the attack, and the pressure they build on the batsmen with the new ball - they concede not more than 20-25 runs - helps us plan our line of attack as to where to bowl to maintain that pressure.
You see teams buy a lot of batsmen for a lot of money because they are good batsmen. But you also need good bowlers to get them out or contain the runs.
I have been saying for a long time that bowlers come in packs. When you have a senior bowler in the pack, he can guide the young bowlers in pressure situations by talking with them.
If the batsmen can give the bowlers a day and half of rest then that is going to work in the team's favour.
If batsmen put up a good total on the board, then it gives the bowlers more confidence to bowl well.
Having two bowlers who can exceed 90 mph is a mouth-watering prospect - and something batsmen will not relish one bit.
Wherever we play, the batsmen have bigger responsibility in ODI and T20 formats to set up big targets and give that cushion to bowlers.
Seems to me the rules are loaded against batsmen. If bowlers show dissent after a near miss they never seem to get punished.
It's runs for batsmen which is the criteria for selection and similarly, it is wickets for bowlers which are important.
When I first came into the England one-day side and joined the selectors, I wanted to move away from picking what some people called the bits-and-pieces to the best batsmen and bowlers.
There will be bowlers who will be having a good day, so it is important to give them their due. At the same time, you have put pressure on other bowlers who are not having an entirely good outing.
Whenever I bowl, I vary the pace because otherwise, it becomes easy for the batsmen if you bowl at the same pace.
Over the years I have been watching Pakistan when playing against them or with them in county cricket. And they have been brilliant bowlers and batsmen and great individuals.
I guess a lot of times pressure is put on something after it becomes big.
What batsmen like me do for fitness is often a bit different to what bowlers like Jimmy Anderson or Stuart Broad do but everyone in the squad has a big focus on core strength. It is really important for batting, bowling and fielding. You need a strong core and spine so your movement isn't restricted out there.
