Tendulkar and Zaheer retirement discussion [Poll added]

[Ultimate_Game]

if sachin can still manage to play till that time then it should be a miracle!!!

I have no doubts he will be able to play but it will be a miracle if he's able to score away from home against quality sides (Eng, Aus, SA) by then.

Sachin's acting skill has improved. Midget pretended like the ball kept low when he was comprehensively bowled by Boult in the first Test against NZ...:giggle: b4vta2Uqgv4

[Ultimate_Game]

^^^^ Seriously man this bending down after getting beaten when the ball isn't low is beginning to get on my nerves. I mean it's ok to do it if the ball keeps low but to bend over when you are beaten by the swing/movement and comprehensively bowled is a joke.

[panther]

srt will score a ton next test just watch. kohli too.

He may very well and I am expecting him to score more than just one ton at home if he plays all the Test series.

Don't see how what Dhoni has to do with it :dontknow: This bending over and making it look as if it's the pitch's fault when you are comprehensively bowled doesn't look too good. Or maybe you expect Dhoni to show his "leadership skills" and have a chat with SRT about the same :haha:

as if you never brought SRT in a discussion on Dhoni :winky:

I brought him in in the context when the subject/topic was about Dhoni not showing "leadership skills" for not dropping seniors and being blamed for Asia Cup failure. But apparently SRT fanboys are so touchy any criticism for SRT results in blaming all and sundry :giggle:

A Reminder to those who have any doubts..

Sachin Tendulkar rules out retirement for now BANGALORE: Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar on Wednesday indicated that he would not retire for now. "As long as there is a reason to wake up with a reason in the morning, it makes sense in continuing (playing cricket). The day I don't enjoy wielding bat in my hands, I will think otherwise. But that moment hasn't come as yet. When I will get that feeling, I will confirm on that," he said after receiving the Test Cricketer of 2011 at an awards function. His younger contemporaries like Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman have hung up their boots from international cricket. Receiving Special Award for notching up a double ton in an ODI match against the West Indies, Virender Sehwag said his next target was to play 100 Tests for the country. In a lighter vein, Sehwag said superstition did not apply to him when he approached double ton in any form of cricket as he did not give any room for the bowlers to think much. "If the ball is there to hit along the fence or over it, I do that without much thinking," he said. However, Sehwag said he was a bit superstitious when Tendulkar neared his first double ton in one-day internationals. "We all thought even if Sachin gets out on 190s, we will all stand up and clap anyhow. But when he got there, all players and sports staff gathered at the players balcony and applauded his achievement. That feeling cannot be expressed," he said. Receiving Performance Under Pressure Award, Gautam Gambhir said last two T20 World Cups were disappointing for Team India after winning the first. However, the team would try to give 100 per cent and play well in the competition. "I am not sure of winning the cup. It is not in our hands, but will put up a good show in the upcoming T20 World Cup to be played in Sri Lanka," he said. On lifetime achievement awardee Ajit Wadekar, Tendulkar said the former Indian captain was a fantastic coach who knew the art of mentally preparing before he walked out on the field. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournaments/sachin-tendulkar--an-indian-icon/top-stories/Sachin-Tendulkar-rules-out-retirement-for-now/articleshow/15969585.cms

[Lord]

Agree It should be about the team ethic not personal enjoyment. As long as he can contribute usefully to the team to help win games he should play but the team should not be built around what he wants to do.

[jind]

Sachin Tendulkar Sachin for the next WC :yay:

Baawla ho gaya hai.
