Dinx - the Jinx Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 in 2015..:two_thumbs_up::two_thumbs_up: PS: This thread is in :protest: to people calling for Rahul Dravid to retire. I'm neither a staunch supporter or RD or a hater of SRT. For me both have done great things for Indian cricket and both will know when to retire. We are nobody to tell them or even discuss when they should retire...So lets leave RD alone. When he decides its enough, he'll step aside and announce his retirement. He is a gentleman and he know when to do, how to do it.. It will be good if people stop talking about their retirements and instead enjoy whatever is left in them... Link to comment
DomainK Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I agree that RD should start consider retiring. It's different from Sachin's case as Sachin has a regular place in the team in both formats. Rather I think when the selectors sit down to discuss team, they first set Sachin aside without any debate. Unlike that, Dravid has been dropped from the team several times and is clearly not struggling to get a regular place in the team. For a player of his stature, he should retire IMO. Link to comment

Misleading Thread Title, looks like you pu$$ied out at the last moment from your original stance (i.e. taking a dig at SRT) fearing a backlash from the worshippers. 2.) The only part of your post I agree with is, about it being upto Dravid as to when to retire, he is a selfless cricketer and has been a Legend of the Game. If he wants himself to be made available for ODI selection so be it. We all know he is better than most of the chumps in the Team right now, but can't get in there coz there are other aspects to ODI cricket, where Dravid is withering away with age. 3.) If your OP was about "Dravid not retiring", why was there a need to drag SRT in the topic, was totally unnecessary. Link to comment
DomainK Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 The title is intentionally provocative, is it not dina? Link to comment
Dinx - the Jinx Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 my stance is that dinakkar or shane or domainK need not tell RD or SRT when to retire. they will do it when they realize they are ready... dint RD step down from captaincy on his own... but if sme ppl think its worth starting a thread to discuss when RD shud retire, then why not SRT.. i'm saying he can retire after 2015... :dontknow: Link to comment

Shane Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 @ OP Why don't you make that point in that thread itself, If someone acts stupid, does it mean you need to act as an epitome of stupidity? As I said you have a very valid point in the OP, but needless provocation would do your cause only harm of making your point. Link to comment

Lord Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I agree that RD knows best wen to retire n we shouldnt discuss,but i completely support his exclusion from current team,like Kumble did before 2007 WC,RD should also play select ODIs Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Dravid has not beein odi team for 2 years got a recall and now dropped again. I feel he should just announce his retirement and just focus on tests. Saying that its his perogative but being realistic it over for him in odis. Link to comment

This is a forum and members express their opinions here. However, it's reasonable to expect members to back their opinions with reason. And if you disagree, you can counter argue to make your point. That's what forums are for. This thread is childish and a big :fail: Link to comment
Rajiv Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Some are offended by the thread, I am offended by the year 2015 Link to comment
ViruRulez Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I was really pissed off on seeing this thread and that too from dinakkar But when I saw 2015 it was a lot more reasonable .. whew Link to comment
nikred Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Some are offended by the thread' date=' I am offended by the year 2015[/quote'] yup considering the world will end in 2012. :winky: Link to comment
Anakin Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I seriously think SRT should stop playing ODIs. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I seriously think SRT should stop playing ODIs. It will be as good as retiring from all cricket. India hardly plays any Tests. For once we have found a decently balanced Test side. Then we don't play Tests. Link to comment
