It seems sachin has no self respect left.he is waiting for one 50 or something so as to last for another 10 tests.even if he scores one hundred it is time to make way for some young player.

SACHIN WILL RETIRE WHEN HE HITS THE WICKET OR SCORES DOUBLE CENTURY Let us pray at least he can hit the wicket.
by replacing new talents instead of gambir,tendulkar,yuvraj.its no point in going with these players as they wud jus play like this for the whole series.instead try some thing new.this isnt a govt job for permanent slot.

dude, had it not been Yuvi, the World Cup (50 overs) would not have been ours !!

So, now he gets a free pass? He is not suited for test cricket. He hasn't proven so in 38 tests. He averages 35 and has 2 centuries. Pathetic for a top order batsman.
Had it not been for any of the 11 players who played, the world cup would not have been ours.

dude i agree yuvi is a great player.he is a great player of odi n T20 but not a test player.have horses for the course.
It is afresh air that a new talent is scoring runs where as the some old & undeserving like yuvi,Dhoni,srt is clinging shamelessly. Let the selectors go for Vijay,A.Mukhund & Abharajit. We also have to see Pujara how he bats in Abroad especially SA/AUS/England where the ball bounces.

Mr.Saaani, i agree with some of your views but the wastage of manhours that you are talking about doesn't happen at all. Nobody follows test cricket in India..believe me..even if some follow, their strength may not be more than 5% of the total population. so who cares for test cricket..?. Remember the British media was crying over very thin spectator presence on Day 1 of the first test match.

I agree. My German friend told "we never allow such wastage.Surprised to see how Indians waste their time" That is why young generation hav no time for nation and do not come out when corruption eats them out.Their power of thinking is dead.

ur comments are sickening. If u don't know what the game of cricket is, then why do u see it and comment on it. Better go for some Tamasha cricket and enjoy. Why do u worry about those who love to watch true Test cricket. Why do u waste time on it. Shame on u.

@Saani Mrichie, th question here is not whether we are doing enough to change the system of politics in India. there are other forums wherein their is some progress happening and Indians have always shown that we will support the real change. Even in our daily work, we are seeing developement happening in corporate sector which is making the country move and we are happy to be part of it. Your views on cricket will be your personal one and it makes no difference whether the game was started by Brits. There is a certain aspect of entertainment and competitiveness which people follow. Anyways your views on Mahatma shows how narrow minded you have been and how much success people like you have got from 1800 in gettings things organise of national scale. Cricket, or for that matter any other sport is a matter of personal perference. By coming everyday on a test forum and pasting the same thread, you are only showing your frustration on getting enough heads rolling towards your ideas. Get some concrete programs done, people will see the benefits and understand your thoughts. Currently it is like Save Tiger campaign where we all understand the importance however do not see the means and impact of the steps which are being proposed. Jai Hind

Sachin has given his life to cricket,bad patch has troubled everybody in their respective field.Still there is cricket left in Sachin to deliver to country.Sachin willcome out of bad patch soon and blast like before

Let others also give their life yaar! Why Sachin only? He has done well earned well, enjoyed well, why then this greed of hanging to cricket at the cost of young people career.
Re: Re: Great Sachin
by Anil De on Nov 23, 2012 08:53 PM
Sachin is 'past' and needs to be discarded like worn out & or old clothes. He is so greedy that he will never go on his own will. He needs a solid kick.
Re: Great Sachin
by Anirban Banerjee on Nov 23, 2012 08:49 PM
I agree. Sachin has given us so much of entertainment over the years. How can we forget all those innings with just few failures???This man deserves our patience and respect. Pity our memories are short & fragile.
Re: Re: Great Sachin
by GM on Nov 23, 2012 11:44 PM
Mr.Anirban Banerjee, You mean at the age of 50 also Sachin should play at the cost of others after most boring plays? He has lost his talent now. Thanks to Dravid for Pujara.
Change is a natural course.It is gradual.There is no need to ask retirement of seniors in haste.Selecters are wise enough, they will not make voids of seniors.This is not a club cricket my friend.
Re: Change in the squad
by Sowri Rajan on Nov 23, 2012 08:05 PM
Sorry. I do not agree with you. If Dravid and Laxman can be replaced, so also Sachin, Gambir and Zaheer Khan. It is a matter of chances being given to youngsters. If we do not act now, we will be only sitting with bunch of over aged players putting pressure on Indian team.
Re: Re: Change in the squad
by Anirban Banerjee on Nov 23, 2012 08:57 PM
Law of changes don't apply to Sachin.If Australia can persist with Ponting,then why can't we?They have much better test side than us and certainly a better reserve bench also?Which youngster can replace Sachin in next 50 years???Can you name one?
Re: Re: Re: Change in the squad
by Sowri Rajan on Nov 23, 2012 11:35 PM
My friend, unless you give a chance to a youngster, how will you know, as we are seeing it in Pujara. There are many Pujaras waiting to be tried and tested. It is best for Sachin to retire with dignity.
Re: Re: Change in the squad
by Susil Ganguli on Nov 23, 2012 09:06 PM
One must retire when one at its peak otherwise will be booed like our old rotten politicians who try to hang on till they are hanged-In India it never happens.
Re: Re: Re: Change in the squad
by Anirban Banerjee on Nov 23, 2012 09:21 PM
How do you know there isn't a peak soon to follow? Statistics show Sachin has a leaner patch in 2005-2006...and followed with heaps of runs...We got to Cheer him up....We are creating unnecessary pressure on him by talking about age and all...it's the pressure which is costing his wicket...not form or age...
When Sachin gets out, the Umpire should check the following: 1. Whether was there enough light in the ground? 2. Whether Sachin was ready to receive the delivery? Even if he is half ready, it should be a dead ball. 3. Whether the bowler is left arm spinner, which is not a legal delivery 4. Umpire should ensure that it is a legal delivery - no ball to check with Second, Third and fourth umpires. 5. Also umpire should take opinion of experts like Gavaskar and Shastri whether to give out or let Sachin continue to play the innings as he has been out of form 6. Benefit of doubt for the above reason 7. It is quite possible that Sachin did not expect the bowl to turn and bounce and if it does, it is not legal delivery. 8. Umpire can ask for voting from Sachin fans 9. After all the above, if the decision has to be made against Sachin, black out and do not show any replays.

by sudhir sood on Nov 23, 2012 08:01 PM
very well put Rajan; you can add that if any bowler dares to strike his wickets he should be banned from playing cricket for at least 5 years.
Re: Sachin was not out
by rajesh doshi on Nov 23, 2012 08:12 PM
11. For every innings Sachin plays, he should be given at least 50 runs as grace since he is doing a great service to the world by playing as a. Legend!
Re: Sachin was not out
by Indian on Nov 23, 2012 08:20 PM
12. Sachin should be informed in advance about the wicket taking delivery, so this will give him a chance to face it or opt out of it.
Re: Sachin was not out
by chandra sekar on Nov 23, 2012 08:24 PM
Had a hearty laugh at your checklist Mr.Sowri. We Indians do not know to time our retirement..remember how Kapil was booed by fans when he was playing his last few matches only to create the record for most test wickets, remember how Karnam malleswari didn't even touch the bar when the whole world was watching..the list is endless..Even in Govt.services and bureaucracy every senior requests for extension of service after retirement and gets it too. wish we learn to retire with dignity.
Re: Sachin was not out
by RAJENDRA on Nov 23, 2012 10:07 PM
Hats off to u. If the Great Sachin reads this, he will definitely recommend u for the Arjuna or Chhadtrapati award for such an outstanding analysis.
Dravid retired,good. If Dhoni,Sachin,Gambhir,Sehwag retires,we can have a good set of new batsman in the form of Sourav_Tiwary,Manoj_Tiwary,Dheeraj_Jadhav and Nataraj_Behera.
This is the knock we expect from other so called senior players. Critical time play a knock a Pujara played. It is long time since we had seen a player who is so splendid, calm and in great form. All the best India
