Many are jumping to conclusions, after recent Australia South Africa series. The SA spin attack is one of the poorest in world, hence ponting may not be a great batsman against quality spin attack (either India, Pak or Sri Lanka)
Brian Lara will be and should be the man to break the highest century records.As Brian will be chasing the 12 double centuries of Don Bradman breaking the century record will be much easier for the great man. I wish Brian all the best and thank him for the timeless and priceless clasics he produced. I also request people to not to talk about brians retairement as he has no plans retaire at the moment and he will carry on after the 2007 world cup also. That is sure. So please dont talk abt. his retairement
Gone are the days when that little fellow used to hit sixes.He is just a family man now with lots of money.Instead of Ganguly he should have been given a break.Sachin is history for Indian cricket.
No player can be the greatest ever unless that sport is played no longer. As Sachin eclipsed so many records on his way to the top, so will another player overtake Sachin. Though he is a great player he cannot(none in fact) can be the greatest-ever in any game. Pete Sampras and now Roger Federer are two good examples.
He should retire: What he would do with so much money when he has so many injuries and leg breaks? Its time to sit at home and watch cricket on TV. Ofcourse drinking PEPSI and BOOST together.
Young people should get chance as 10dulkar got when he was young.
Remember guys when sachin was at 26-27 centuries they were talking the same way about sachin as they are talking about ponting now. Ponting is going through a purple patch right now and that too at home. It will pass and then he will look mortal and maybe he'll also take an year to go from 32 to 33 or something... :).
Remember they said some very similar things about gilchrist last year too ... and this year he had an abysmal year.... speculation on this is useless.... sachin might come into form over the next year and ponting might not...
Well, I don't think tendulkar's record will be smashed soon.. and i really don't see how can people even imagine dravid or gilly doing it..maybe ricky..but then sachin is going to play till he plays, he may narrow down the gap but cant smash the record.Sachin will hace 50 centuries before he retires.I don't see how some one reaches that landamrk atleast in a decade.
