I find that befuddling. I just want Sachin to shut out and keep playing.
I used to be hurt when he got out this year. Now I am just plain pissed off with the calls for his head. Atleast for that reason I just want him to not retire and keep hanging on. I am beyond reason and caring what he makes.
Sachin was impressive only in this test match. Nowadays couldn't even see him playing like what he used to do play in the test matches once. If he continues like this for another 2 months, I think he would naturally acquire the wrath of everyone. Even if he hits a century or two and looks in good touch, we won't allow him to retire. If he fails continuously like this, we would say he could have retired before. I think age is catching up with him. He managed to the best of his abilities for the last 8 years. But it is showing a lot these days.
Answer this question practically: How long do you think he can go?. How long can he go. The reflexes have quite come down. What I felt is that he unnecessarily gave a chance for his head calling. 7 id-la varavan ellam kelvi kekkura nelamaikku vandhachu. What is the point of playing anymore?. I hope he goes in recluse like bradman did after his retirement. Some people just don't deserve good things.
No prophet is welcome in his own town.

Adhuvum comparing Ravindra Jadeja to Sachin n all is absolutely blasphemous. Namba aalungalukku moola kettupidichu nnu nenaikiraen...
Ravi Jadeja coming in @ No.4 is the last thing i want to see..
I think Jadeja will take Yuvi's spot. Lets hope he carries his domestic form to the international arena
Ravi Jadeja has scored 2 triple centuries in RT this year and also has taken a lot of wickets. He certainly deserves a chance.Quote:

There was one player from Namibia who played when he was around 47 and hence going by your criteria, Sachin can 'easily' play for another 7 years at least.Quote:

The 'Genius' and the 'Rare Phenomenon' is not booed by anyone as yet, and it is only some 'knowledgeable' fans/critics like you who have been calling for this head from the time you first started watching cricket, for reasons not known. Nambi, I could see you lauding Ian Chappell's Mirror classic in 2007 and would have wanted Sachin to retire @ that stage, because you cannot see him undergo the 'trauma'.Quote:

Every Indian wanted to express themselves to the World and put the onus on Sachin. Sachin took the trauma all these years and delivered.
Ever since the day Sachin eased himself into the Indian team and started establishing his prodigious talent, he has been asking the question 'Whether my team needs my presence' and right from the days of the Serial Match Fixer Azharuddin to this day of MSD, Sachin's presence has been the only reason why Cricket is still the No 1 sport in India. The IPL riches of today and all other luxuries that Indian Cricket is getting used to today, is because of Sir Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.Quote:

1. Sachin does not deserve to play in a team that plays the game without any respect/sincerity/patriotism. Sachin plays in a team where all ‘seniors’ believe they are above the game and is led by a captain who is genuine but insensitive and does not have a vision. Sachin should disassociate himself from this team.
2. Sachin should not represent BCCI anymore, an organization that employs obesity hit 50 year olds and is solely focused on raking millions with no respect to neither the game nor the players or the paying public. Sachin should disassociate himself from it.
3. Sachin does not deserve to play for the Indian general public which seems to have identified other ways and means to get counted and hence are ready to dump the very man who brought them self-respect. The generation of today believe they are an independent and a self-confident lot. They don’t need heroes anymore; they don’t need a Sachin anymore to bring them respect. Sachin should disassociate himself completely from this group of hypocrites.
Sachin is not scoring runs for some time now, yes you have a point, but that does not been he is not ‘performing’. If you would have noticed the intensity that this selfless 40 year old man displayed on the field in the last 3 test matches against England when he was chasing/throwing himself around when every other senior/young team members were either fooling around or disinterested, you would have known what performance truly means. Performance means giving your all, irrespective of your form/age/environment, etc.
If you would still stay that scoring runs is the only criteria for performance, well mark my words, Sachin can still cause a turn-around and shut all Ian Chappells one more time.
But Sachin should just disassociate himself from the game which does not deserve him anymore.
