this selfish cricketer wont retire until his son's debut.He want the assurance from the BCCI his son and he will be picked up in the 200th test also,no doubt the Corrupt BCCI will fulfill his wish
I consider myself to be a big fan of Sachin the cricketer & bigger fan of Sachin the human being.
Sachin not retiring in time is bad for spectators whether they are fans or not. (1) Fans are hurting to see Sachin as one of the poorest performer in team. (2) Other spectators are not getting their money's worth.
Only reasons Sachin wants to play is because : (1) He enjoys cricket. - He can do this on his own time & dime instead of wasting paid spectators time & occupying a position in Indian team. If he loves cricket so much, he can gracefully play other roles such as team manager/selector/commentator/consultant/administrator/guide, etc. (2) He thinks he has some more innings left in him. - It is time to get real. Recent data does not support that thought.
He should retire with whatever respect is left for him, before being kicked out in a humiliating way. And if that happens it will immensely hurt millions of Sachin fans around the world. But it will be his own doing.
He is wasting a place for youngster now for over 2 years without making any contribution in test side.None including Bradman could play beyond a point at this level & only someone who is blind to this fact will put his reputation at stake the way Sachin has.

Sachin always says that he does not play for records. Then why is he waiting to play his 200th Test to retire? It is always better to end a great career voluntarily than being dropped if he fails again.

Sachin & MMS are birds of the same flock.Both are thick skinned & ready to take all the blows shamelessly on shin.
BCCI and other stalwarts are trying various subtle methods to convey Sachin to retire. I fail to understand why Sachin is not reading what is written on the wall?
