Should Tendulkar retire himself at the end of this series? (Poll added)

[Ultimate_Game]

Sehwag grew up watching Sachin and idolized him from a young age. It would be very odd to ask for his retirement while Sachin is still in the team.

Because we need him to spank Paki bowlers in the Asia Cup :--D

:cantstop::cantstop: Well said. All Sehwag needs is to go against Gul to get back in form :two_thumbs_up:

:hysterical::hysterical: But I think Sehwag would not be the first one to do so, even if he does. I think there are enough players around who grew up watching Sachin but have already quit cricket.

Bachpan se dekh raha hai to kya budaape tak dekhega Tendulkar ko? Get some SRT DVDs or blue rays and watch him all you want but he needs to go soon.

Tendulkar's exit strategy well, his ''expiry date is near" (if not already expired) so this thread is not about should Tendulkar retire but what should be his exit strategy .... Poll coming up

[Laaloo]

Odis - this series Tests - England series Seeing as how we dont play overseas ODI series for quite some time, and that's what Tendulkar only plays these days, he will/should retire from Odis after this series. And the tests against England in October.

[yoda]

He should keep playing till his son can take up his spot. After all we need a Tendulkar in the lineup at all times. :P

[vvvslaxman]

After two white washes he probably already had some plans

He probably had some plans after winning the world cup and only playing odis overseas for a year or two. Unfortunately, the recent drubbings changed everything.

Retire immediately. I don't see any value for India, maybe just for Sachin himself.

[punjabi_khota]

He should play long enough to get rett frustrated enough to get banned again, preferably perma-ban. That way, SRT and Rett's exit strategy can be executed at same time.

And then the forum will be left with frustrated folks like you who struggle to get laid :giggle:

Get youngsters in for a better future immediately. Was tendulkar groomed by anyone? Was Dravid groomed by anyone? Was Ponting groomed by anyone? Great players are made by themselves. Let youngster play first!

They were all groomed. The better a player turns out to be the better his grooming was and the more talented a youngster is the more hungry he is to learn from his seniors. Nobody just walks into the international team and takes to it like he's been born to it. All of them entered as novices and were guided, mentored and helped by more experienced teammates, retired players and various coaches to become the best at what they do.
