Sachin Tendulkar the Champion took to Indian cricket to next level. His contribution to Indian cricket is immense. Behind the scenes there is a lot of hard work dedication talent and will to do at the highest level. Champion will be back and reckoning and will do his bat to do all the talking as usual. So I cannot ask the street dogs to stop barking in this forum.
I think the quest for the 100th hundred dragged on for too long and impacted Sachin adversely. He would have hoped to get it quickly and play carefree for a year or 2 to go out in a blaze of glory but alas it was not meant to be.
I hope he can sign off in style with a great series against England and or Australia.
For heaven's sake, quit please! It's pathetic to see u struggling against ageing with diminished vision, reflexes, coordination, etc., etc., Accept the grave reality and pleeeeeeeease quit and give opportunity for an youngster to take over the reins. Do not imagine on your own that, India needs you and the whole batting responsibility lies on your (ageing) shoulders. It's not true! Of late, you only have become a liability to the team than of any value. This has been hinted to you enough already by the team management in umpteen number of ways. Do not be insensitive all such hints and stretch your fading career any further. It'll only do more damage than any good. Your averages will no more look respectable if you play any further. Quit gracefully please! We'll worship you. Else, a day is not far off when the same cricket fans who cheered you on coming in to bat, boo you and please save your fading image.

for heaven sake.. Hey Ram.. sorry K Ram.. Take a break.. Spare a person of Sachin's stature, Instead try it on some body like Sonia gandhi, robert Vadra, M M singh, rising inflation and corruption.. Dont bark at a wrong tree since bcos u can bark.. Take a break.. Wish better sense could prevail upon you and for so many such moronic, heartless Sachin bashers..
We couldn't reach finals of Asia Cup because of the slow scoring of Sachin for his 100th century in about 2 years in all formats of the game. He got clean bowled 3 times in a row in a lowly ranked New Zealand bowlers on Indian slow pitches. His batting average in the past two years is about 35 which is mediocre and any new player can also score that and in addition with the coming test series in India, the new player in his place will be able to get set and when the foreign tours come in future, they are not playing there in tests for the first time. He needs to go. Thanks for all you did for Indian cricket for yourself. It it time for you to say good-bye to the gentleman game as a gentleman before your sorry as5 is dropped from the team.

Sachin was past his prime at least 7 years back if not more during which period many bench sitters have perished into oblivion having lost chance to serve the nation
The debate goes on and on....... yet he would never think about retirement. So long as people like Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Sastri are around he would get boosted up further. He can afford to score another 25 ducks before retiring and still these commentarors would only describe how beautifully he had batted for scoring "0" runs!!!! This is Indian Cricket

Do u want top know why ex-cricketers turned commentators like Gavaskar, Shastri, Ganguly et al won't write what they feel and support Sachin, because all these gentlemen are paid huge sums to praise/support Sachin. Had Sachin being in Australian their selectors would have sent him packing long back.
