Sir Sachin Tendulkar 4

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Batting average plummetted to 53.86. Even during the worst tennis elbow and shoulder injury days of 2004-06 it was close to 55.

3.09 point drop since WC 2011.

Another article by some boha on why tendulkar should retire now is in cricinfo.

Iam sure the average went below 53 in the 2008 SL tour. But nothing can deny the fact that he's on the wane. It's been a sad decline. But he hasn't looked bad at all IMHO . Got starts, looked fairly comfortable facing pacers, but struggled against spin..
