What's there in him to achieve more in Test cricket? Other than the coveted 'Most Runs' or 'Most 100s' record. Selfish character. Retire from cricket and let Tendulkar have it. Fool.

No.. You are the fool, it is his career he can do whatever he wants.. Who tha hell are u to say such things ? Oh yeah, he's just goin to retire for Sachin. Why do you presume he just wants most runs or most hundreds for ? Maybe, he wants to achieve more success with Australia. And even if he does want to do that, then what's wrong with that ? It would mean that he'd be batting well. You ask what else is there for him to achieve in test cricket ? I think that is obvious to most....

wat a load of rubbish pr.ick... how come retiring frm T20s will prolong ur test career, when only handful of T20s are being played in a year by Aus.. but he will play IPL which goes on for 4 weeks... great thinking .....

[meloveindia]

but he didnt do it to 'prolong his test career'.he did it simply coz he thought that T20 was a young man's game n he did not wanna hamper India's chances at T20 WC

[Riley's Girl]

Yes. It's been proven since that T20 is not only for the younger players.

SRT also did it to prolong his career , play more ODIs and test. Frankly I dont see much difference
