And this is exactly what I said the other day !!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Play on till 2011 and keep the records: Sunny to Sachin Press Trust of India Johannesburg, December 14, 2006 Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has advised Sachin Tendulkar to play on at least till 2011 World Cup to surge ahead of his closest competitors and ensure the records stayed with India. Gavaskar said players like Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting were breathing down the neck of Tendulkar but he could make it "virtually impossible" for them to catch up with him if he continued playing till the 2011 World Cup, to be hosted by India and three other Asian countries. Also, that way Tendulkar would "mirror" his own career which culminated with the World Cup hosted by India in 1987, the former Indian skipper said. "Like everybody goes through a tough time, he (Tendulkar) has gone through a tough time with injuries and now he is just coming back. So obviously it has not been very easy -- that's what can happen at the international level, at the highest level," he said on the sidelines of the Castrol Awards function here last night. "I would like to think that he will play at least for next World Cup in 2011 in India. It will pretty much mirror what happened with my career because I finished with the World Cup in India in 1987. And Sachin would be about the same age in 2011." "So I am hoping he will carry on till 2011 because that will mean he will score thousands more runs, he will stretch the distance between him and others and will make it virtually impossible for others to catch up with him, which at the end of the day means that the records stay with India." Tendulkar currently holds the record of scoring most number of Test centuries at 35, one more than Gavaskar and Lara. Ponting has 33 tons to his credit.

Re: Excellent news - Sachin to play till 2011 !!! Bheemie, I believe this is a not-so-subtle hint from Gavaskar for Sachin to notch up a hundred in this test match As I said the other day, I would not be surprised if this happens. SR Tendulkar c Gibbs b Pollock 112. Now won't that be nice ??? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Re: Excellent news - Sachin to play till 2011 !!! I can't imagine Sachin's performance being good enough to warrant a place in the side, tests or ODIs, till then. He is already doing rather poorly in tests. In ODIs he is still our best bat and will prolly be in 2007. 2011 would be a stretch, IMO.
