Very good insight about Sachin's stay in the team by Dileep Premachandran on WSJ:
WSJ: There was a debate that he has overstayed his international career. What do you think?
Mr. Premachandran: The issue I have with this debate, people who are debating, like you and me have no concept of greatness because we are not great. We do not know what it is like to be in that position. These players know when they are on their way down, but they also find ways to compensate. In Tendulkar’s case, I think we shouldn’t judge him by the numbers of the last two years. It’s also been a team very much in transition. It lost Rahul, it lost VVS [Laxman.] It has now lost Sehwag and Gambhir maybe not forever, but they are not in the team now. It would have been a huge sea change if there was not one old head in the team to guide the younger players. So, I think in that sense he had a job to do and he has done that.
Transition is one of the hardest things to manage when you have a team that is aging. By and large, India has done it well. They have phased out guys almost series by series and brought in one or two new guys each time. That’s the best way to go about it because if four or five guys go at the same time, you just collapse in a heap, which is pretty much what happened to Australia after 2006.

இவர்களையும் சச்சின் போல கவனித்திருந்தால் இன்னும் சில வருடங்கள் விளையாடி ஓய்வினை அறிவித்திருப்பார்கள். சச்சினுக்கு பிசிசிஐ அளித்த சலுகைகள் அதிகம் என்பது ஊரறிந்த விஷயம். மற்றவர்கள் ஒய்வு பெற்றுவிட்டார்கள், அதனால் சச்சினை வைத்திருந்தோம் என்பதாக சொல்வதெல்லாம் சப்பைக் கட்டு போலவே தோன்றுகிறது

I don't want to dig up dirt now, lots of sensitive souls HERE are going through an emotional journey of see their fav player leaving the game, Let them continue to cherish it. (I owe that much to our handsome moderator )
I have all along said , there were external supports which was extended to him periodically by various quarters, whether people want to accept it or not its a different story.
Above article is a justification of one such external support which got nothing to do with cricket itself, its purely based on a subjective presumption.

Good innings from Tendulkar. Looked good enough to carry on. How many times in the last two years have we seen Sachin lose his wicket against the run of play ? Now for the rest of the Indian batting juggernaut to pile up the runs. Expecting Pujara and Kohli to ton up.
