retired at the right time in the interests of Indian cricket. Some other fellow continues with selfish personal interest knowing very well his reflects have slowed down.

absolutely and in fact Dravid made 3 100 scores in ENG , Player of series there another 100 in 2011 and highest run getter for 2011.After Australia he felt it is right time. Sachin has not made a 100 for nearly 2 yrs
pujara proved once again that he is horse of the long race. he had shown glimpses of his techniq n temperament scoring tons of runs including 3 triple centuries on trot. n today he proved his talent at the highest level scoring his maiden hundred. congrats. and keept it up.
Good for Pujara and other youngsters that Rahul and VVS retired before the home series against a weak line up. their real test will not be now, it will be when they will play in ENG, SA, NZ and AUS
Pujara proved that he has an ideal Test class temperament with an unfinished innings almost unblemished and some really pleasing strokeplay. Even Kohli too displayed his strokes to perfection. Both need to be preserved. One only hopes Grand old man of the team at now realises that like VVS Laxman, he too, leave the scene for the newcomers. But will he! A million dollar question.

bawre You are right. SRT has scored maximum runs from team India in last 3 tough oversees tours of SA,Aus n Eng. Top scorer must definitely retire and armchair critics like you should take his place. Best of luck for your future cricket series :)
But our great commentator Mangerekar said that its bad luck, our sachin didnt bat well... he wants sachin should complete 200 matches instead of india lose or win

the selfish guy is the one who bats at no.4 and never moves from that no. Dravid and Laxman moved from their positions esp. in england last yr
So a new era of Indian cricket has begun! Let BCCI nurture them!In pace we have Ishant, Yadav, Aaron & Dinda. In batting Kohli & Pujara. Rahney to be tested, Raina has limitations,Rohit has temperament & discipline problem. So needs couple of more Virat & Pujara types to strengthen our batting department.
Time has come for Sachin to retire from International Cricket. Let him give his place to young cricketers, this would ensure these cricketers get required exposure at the highest level. Also it would help the BCCI to build a bench strength. Today's match is an eye opener for the selectors, as young cricketers have shown they are capable of filling the gaps created by the likes of sourav, dravid, laxman. Provided they get ample opportunity and exposure at the highest level.

Time has come?? dude time has long passed for him to retire. I see from time to time some people supporting him for his records and scores he made but, selections for matches need to be alone on present form and performance and we all saw his form in england and australia. Though it is collective effort to succeed but indian cricket need to make some straight decesions and srikanth is no way going to make one...and bcci is nowhere close to do the right thing..

may b possible. but pujara was the first choice at no.3 considering he had played match winning inning against ausi.he was out due to injury.
