i ws a huge fan of FAB four but i think now these people shouild retire as to avoid themselves from further humilation and the nation for such big losses. they have so much at stake that thye r losing their own battle. its either lack of form or sheer age that they have now stopped performing and should retire now. wen one former cricketer 2 years back wrote this about master blaster, noone cared about him but now it seems that was the truth and fair judgement, sachin don't hang around like gill as this is not going to help anyone bettter retire gracefully. so many legends have done so, gilly was the most trecent one , his performance dropped and he reired though he couild have played for another 2 years but would have been under public scanner and selector's mercy. he did that in sporting spirit. same for alll others. thisds is not austraslian team for the ashes wcch despite their age could beat england 5-0 becoz though they were aging but they were extremely fit and can survive the pain of test cricket.
