anish233 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 So hes broken all the records. Is termed as the best batsman of the Era. Now has finally won the World Cup, and we could see what that meant to him last night. Now what is the motivation for such a great man and I'm speaking of ODI crikcet ofcourse.. I think he should play tests for a few more years because he is SIGNIFICANT when it comes to playing tests abroad. Yesterday we saw that now days even when Sachin doesn't fire, we have a good enough team to chase down totals.. i dont know if we can do that in away pitches.. but i believe we can with technically solid players like Kohli, Gauti and even Yuvi in the lineup.. I also hope Dhoni makes that number 4 or 5 hes permanent spot in the ODI lineup. SO what next for Sachin in ODI's?.. isn't it time to call it a day?.. and hang up the boots?.. i mean?.. what could be the next MOTIVATION factor?.. im sure he wont play for 4 more years and go down-under for one more world cup win... i think if Sachin cant go 4 more years, it is really time to Call it a day and just focus on Test Cricket.. and that circus IPL... what say?..
Cricketics Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 No don't go. I want to watch you in 2015. I didn't get chance in 2011.
Roshanrocks Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 God himself knows whats best for him, Not for us mortals to decide
Ranjha Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I think he needs 2 more hundreds for 50odi hundreds...I know records are not imp but why not? Either wy he can play selective odis for India when we tour overseas for sometime since it will help team Indias cause. But for tests, he is good for 3 or so yrs for sure. BUT ULTIMATE CHOICE LIES WITH HIM ONLY
vvvslaxman Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Just for kicks he can play world t20. i don't know.. Probably he can go for Brian Lara's record.
Zap_Brannigan Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 2 more 100 for 50 ODI hundreds. 5 more 50s for 100 ODI fifties. Why not.
veer Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 i think he is going to play his carefree cricket for next 1 or 2 yrs..
NareshK Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Winning a test series in Australia and South Africa ? We have come close many times and we have been on top recently but we havent yet managed to win the series. India should try and do it before Zaheer, Dravid, Laxman, Sachin retire because new guys will take some time to get used to the conditions in Aus and SA and it wont be easy for them.

Sachin=GOD Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 God himself knows whats best for him, Not for us mortals to decide This.
JourneyMan Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Enjoy the remaining days of his cricketing career. He's achieved all the biggest feats, he can take it easy, chase a few more records/big numbers, play some exciting innings etc.... The media has an important role. They have to keep the pressure off him, enjoy his cricket, and let him look back at the last few years as the relaxing years where he enjoyed himself and treated us to some more sublime strokes and moments of brilliance.
anish233 Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 its crazy how long a man can play. a very special man. can't imagine cricket without him. the Michael Jordan of Cricket.
King Tendulkar Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Just keep on playing and batting. Do not retire from anything, just keep scoring runs etc
Dhruv200 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 he is the greatest batsman of all time topic is over.
JourneyMan Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I just had a vision. Tendulkar is old, maybe 50. He still looks fit. He isn't in the line-up, but they keep in in the squad. They're cruising, the match is in their pocket. They make a fielding substitution, Tendulkar in, Kohli out. Tendulkar walks in, the crowd goes crazy, they're screaming for him. The younger players are in awe. The ball goes to third man, Tendulkar picks it up, the crowd is ecstatic, they can't get enough of Tendulkar. End vision.
flamy Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 i think he is going to play his carefree cricket for next 1 or 2 yrs.. ya, now he can have his honeymoon with his first love: cricket
ravishingravi Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I don't want him to play ODIs. He should maintain himself for tests atleast for 1 year. India needs him.
THX_1138 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 he can whatever he wishes. Heck, give hockey a shot. Maybe become a penalty corner specialist.
yoshi Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 this reminds me of what happened to hayden. He was having a rough patch against SA and the australian thought they had a good enough relacement (the young kid cant remember his name). So the media basically bullied hayden into retiring before the ashes even though he said he wanted to play the series. He went to to be the highest scorer in the ipl and i really believe if he had been there australia would have won the ashes
