Equally selfish not to sit out when you are not in form! Would have added a little more luster if he did
Sachin has shown how to live and enjoy the life. His skills undoubtable and his commitment exemplary. When a Laxman or Dravid pulled off the impossible, they had an element of surprise and delight of discovery of something new and eventful. But when Sachin scored, it was no surprise, expected, unravelling

he would not have bothered to remain in cricket if there was no money (millions).if he were to bade by commitment he would scored his 100 100 a year ago soon after 99. all his centuries were out of fluke or luck he has no talent what so ever ant good cricketer would have scored if he were given so many tests to play.Now Bhartaratna to him ( a worth less award but a lot of money)
if one searches in google with the phrase "Sachin Tendulkar cheating" there r several youtube videos that show his commitment, integrity in poor light....
for instance in one IPL game he falsely claimed the catch of Rahul Dravid, but rahul inspite of sharing the dressing room with sachin for nearly 2 decades did not trust him and asked for a referral... It turned out that the catch was not taken cleanly and crowd booooooed.....
but puts his interests above nations. 25 overs 114 runs, 25 overs 175 runs. that lost us the match. and as expected his century came against Bangladesh on a dead pitch. time to hand boots atleast quit one dayers and make way for the deserving one instead of continuing.

Atleast now Sachin should play freely and not be a burden on the Team in Limited Over matches!

Do not you remember Ganguly playing so slowly that India lost every time he scored his century. Sachin has created the milestone for our country and every time those milestones are seen the country's name will be called after his name.... so let us appreciate that we have a living legend in the time that we are living instead of criticizing him at the fall of a hat. Long live Sachin.

He (Sachin) is an old man and his age is over to play. He gave defeat to india by scored his personal century by slow batting.

117 against NZ at Nairobi OCT 15 2000 127 against SA at Johannesberg OCT 5 2001 100 against AUS at Melbourne JAN 12 200 113 against SL at Colombo 20 AUG 1997
I feel very sorry to Mention these innings here. They are one of the best innings he played. Same time, I am also dont like to Defame other players with pointless Arguements.
Greatest indian batsman ... no doubt... but commitment 100% ... no... I still remember the chennai test against pakistan which he should have won for india...
This look like a fix match that by Bangladeshi players gave chance to Sachin Gendulkar to complete his 100th century and by his slow batting speed they (Bangladeshi) won the match despite of world's weakest team. You (Sachin) betrayed the country by scored 100 th century as your personal scores at the cost of country. Due to your slow batting rate we have losed yesterday prestigeous match. We have feeling shame on your 100 century with the weakest team of Bangladesh. You can proud your self but we feel always shame and decieve. It could have fixed match.

if bangladesh scores 293/5 against india and wins the game, please dont blame tendulkar for that. something terribly wrong with the indian bowling.
