You should be ashamed to even suggest Sachin being selfish.Like Saurav has said the decision is to be the individual's as long as they fare well. Stop hounding the seniors

Sachin is selfish, in the last series in Australia, he always took a single to go the the nonstrikers end and let the tailender batsman to face, as a batsman of his repute, he should have faced more to keep the innings going on, and if he did so, i think the result of atleast two tests been changed.

India won 38 tests since 1996 and see his contribution to wins.The only three innings innings caused India win see the quality.
136 Win v Zim 2001/02 at Delhi No comments other than as always great innings against minnows.
101 Win v Zim 2005/06 at Bulawayo Laxman made 140 ran out in mixup with Saurav Ganguly
128 Win v Eng 2002 at Leeds Only century caused against quality opposition.Here Dravid scored 148 Sachin scored 193 in the match Dada also made hay while sun shines.
Its really funny in this discussion board one week back so many comments against dada, dhoni and little master, now everyone praises. We have to thank new chairman Srikanth for selecting Saurav more than anyone else. pl do appreciate Dravid too, he is contributing scores around 50 most of the time. I agree its long time due from him and Sachin for a match winning score
Re: when it clicks everyone praises,

If we do not apply pressure on these time tested players by our uneducated comments they certainly will perform.The fans should stop getting carried away by the myth old is bad.If one can cope with the physical and mental demands of the game and perform reasonably well and even better than the younger brigade why should the older players be seen off? We all understand that they can not be playing for ever

Yes a Great skipper and then a good batsman. And of course the one who instilled belief that India too can challenge the rest of the world
dada i salute u for your performances in the past and at present i like the way u influence everybody.you have taken a right decision till date and all the time you are always successful infact dada this is the problem of fistfull people with short vision the can't understand your vision that is their mistakes the luck and work always remains with the individuals and you are showing that congratulation and all the best for the life which is beyond cricket and for the family and friend
I wish to see Indian players carry Ganguly on their shoulders and out of field in his last test. That is the greatest honour that a player of such calibre deserve. I remember Steve Waugh got such farewell in Sydney. More than 2000 of 80,000 people who turned up to see Steve had tears in their eyes almost all had Goosebums. Guys this is what I call honour. Ganguly and other 4 stalwarts (Sachin, Rahul, Laxman, Anil) surely deserve such farewell.
There are and will be critics of Ganguly, Sachin, Dravid, Laxman but lets not forget their contribution for Indian Cricket. 10 our of 9 Aussies feel Laxman is the greatest test player, there are kids who try to imitate his style. I think it was Ganguly’s decision to retire, he is matured enough to know when to retire so lets stop speculating about the reason for his retiring and make his farewell the most memorable one. Ganguly deserves something special, and it would be interesting to see his last day at cricket field representing Tri-Colour.
