If he is still fit, performing and playing good cricket then I do'nt see a reason why he should'nt. Last year during slump in his cricketing career, many ppl wrote him off.. he came back and is highest run getter in this serious so far.
One point that I wanted to mention here was, he is an ordinary man with extraordinary criketing skills. Dont make him god. Because tommorow if he get out at duck, then u may be blaming urself or may be burning ur god's effigies. its a game and anything can happen. A good sportsmanship is what matters.
There are lot of other cricketers in world who are eqaully good.. Sachin may be good compared to other Indian cricketers. So guys.. emotion ko kabu me rakho and acche cricket ko enjoy karo.

Well said. There are many cricketers who are around 37 ,like Kumble, Jayasrya, Hayden and Gilchrist who are still playing and Lara played till he was 38. Sachin is only 34 and if he is fit he can continue for 4 more years. But in order to prolong his career he should retire from ODIS and concentrate only on test cricket because it is the real cricket and all the cricketing greats are known for their test performances and exploits.
Do you pay tax on the gifts you receive? Tendulkar is not corrupt, as he openly requested that his gift be allowed duty free. Did he refuse to pay or bring it in stealthily?

And his 100th ODI century in 2019 WCUP. And his 100th Test Century in 2023 tour to AUS And his the list goes on......
Sachin will never retire and even when he does at that time there will be a bigger storm in World Cricket like the match fixing storm in 2000 and this time it will be exposed all countries and all fixers will be brought into justice and the game will be banned for ever...so Sachins end will coincide with Crickets end(not that it hasnt ended,it already has with Ball Tampering,Match fixing,drug abuse all covered under the mat)
Dhoni is a flash in the pan cricketer. He himself will soon lose his place in the Indian team. On the Australian tour, he is yet to make an impression. So can this bloke turn around things without in-form batsmen like Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly in the one-dayers.

useless dhoni once again proved himself that he is useless n king of dead pitches only. so he has failed to show that he is genuine batsman.

there will not be any 2020 world cup... but yes he wil be the best in even if he plays in 2019 world cup.. just look the real test.. the way india's sensational boy Dhoni plays and the way Sachin plays.... he is real hero.. it looks like Dhoni forgot to play those unusal shots
dhoni wants everyone out by Vivekanand Venkataraman on Jan 25, 2008 12:22 AM | Hide replies
u know nwhy dhoni wants dravid and ganguly out... its purely becuase he wants to cash on the oppurtunity and take all the endorsments to his a/c tendulkar has too much on stake so no one can remove him .. he has a BIG lobby behind him.
So the poor guys left are dravid and ganguly and they have been dropped..
Media plays a very crucial role... i dont remember dhoni playing a major innings after the 2005 pak series but he still is called "dho"ni! 20/20.. he was a bad perfomer... even though the team won..aus series.. so far pathetic.. aus home series.. pathetic... hisdays are counted and soon he will be replaced by karthik for tests..

You may be right.
You may be wrong.
Check the team list for ODIs.
If you are the coach of the indian team, Ganguly and Dravid are in 16 2 team.
who would be your playing 11?
Dhoni is the Captian, you can remove him. So, 1. Dhoni. 2. Yuvi (Vice Cap) 3 Sachin( Can you remove him?) 4. Sehwag(Doing well now. Dashing Player) 5. Gambir 6. Uthappa (Both are good in ODI format) 7. Pathan (Good form now) 8. Harbajan 9. RP Singh. 10. Zaheer 11. Ishanth (5 Bowlers)
Whom will you remove to accomadate Ganguly or Dravid and say Why?
To be honest, i will miss Saurav in ODIs, in Australia.

dear sree here u need to obseve one thing that is sourav ganguly is alrounder and he can do both bat and ball well as compared with dravid that now days his batting track is very good as compare with old days . let us see what happens once oneday lost with out ganguly. i think dhoni and selector r still in submerged with the 20twenty world cup victory .may be they think that its not a one day selection they r trating that its selection for 20twenty game selection are nee amma selectors kallu teravandi raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Surely Ganguly is in better touch than either Uthappa or Gambhir. Neither of them have really got going against a genuine bowling attack. Scoring runs against a second string English attack and against a direction less Pakistani attack in India is one thing, but to get it against quality bowling attack like Australia or Sri Lanka will be a different ball game.
Still it will be interesting to see if these boys become men on this tour.
