Anderson has dismissed Tendulkar 5 times IIRC conceding only 91 runs directly off his bowling or something like that.. but Tendulkar averages 38 in matches involving him.

Obviously Donald had the upper-hand against Tendulkar most of the times, but Tendulkar scored a few brilliant centuries against Donald.

A key reason for Tendulkar averaging less than 35 when Donald played (besides Donald's bowling) is the bowling of Hansie Cronje who dismissed Tendulkar many a times. Obviously I'm not suggesting that Tendulkar dominated Donald overall, but he was definitely not Donald's bunny. They had an even contest overall, and Donald enjoyed the slight upperhand all things considered.

On an unrelated note, this piece by Donald on Tendulkar might be enlightening to some:
