Sachin should have announced his retirement when Dhoni gave a statement that Sachin is slow on the field. Its useless when ur captain dont want then why do you want to play ?
What should be the main objective of Indian ODI cricket? If it is to give Sachin a chance to notch up his 100th 100, please arrange a series with Kenya or BD. If it is to successfully retain the World Cup, start putting the pieces for the next WC. If Bradman were Indian, he would have kept playing in the hope of getting his average to 100. Sri Lanka with 1/60th of your population is where it is today because men like Ranatunga ensured the game is opened to the whole country. A guy like Chandimal is from a small village, Balapitiya. BCCI is obsessed with making for its officials via IPL not in unearthing the next Dhoni or developing the infrastructure. The media and the public have a constructive role instead of jumping on bandwagons. Identify your objective and build for the future.
There has to be an objective in one playing for the country. Sachin has won a world cup, he has performed well, his stats are good, financially he is well off. I do not know what else does he want to acheive in 1 day and T-20. I cant understand his motivation to stick to these formats. Better to give chances to others.
There are many youngsters sitting outside to perform better than sachin rite now he is tired and sachin is a history now... Give him good farewell and let him go with respect
although its not the time for his retirtement, we enjoy the batting of this master more than anyone else in the world, but he should slap everyone and say goodbye, but before that he should fulfill the dream of every india, by making one last century...
No question about Sachin's bating and contribution, we always count 100's and run but winning number ? Now that number game dividing team and BCCI. Sachin know very Mumbai and west media and add market will back him as Mr. Madanlal told Mr. Srinivasan back Mr. Dhoni the way he protecting Mr. Sahbag is enjoying this game also like batting master stroke.
i remember that ,in1996 tour of south Africa sachin was played with bad record.on that time the criticisms are told that it is the perfect time for retirement of sachin.from that period so many criticisms are told so many time on his retirement.it so bad things.till now he is played well.first thing is please look his running between the wicket and throw ball from boundary to wicket.till date he played as man of 28yr old age.he is sachin tendulkar .he know very well what is the time of retirement of him self.please don't talk like as bak bas
