Tendulkar and Zaheer retirement discussion [Poll added]

[Crookbond]

This is for Tendulkar :two_thumbs_up:

Tu apni raza badha, koi tamanna jaga, takdeer khud-ba-khud badal jayegi, tu koi daanv to laga.

[King Tendulkar]

Wow. Indian cricket will never be the same again!!! A sad day is looming soon

[Raghav_12]

Nobod can say that whether he should continue till Aus Series or SA series. It all depends on how he goes in upcoming matches. He himself said that he is looking at it series by series. So he'll assess himself after Eng series and will decide. But why he agreed to talk with an certified scum and idiot like Arnab?

[bajrang]

its Arnab?:facepalm: good on him he allowed Sachin to speak

dude is being humbler then usual, and usually that never happen. anyway it will be telecasted tonight at 10 pm on times now.

lol he still knows a thing or two about batting' date='doesnt he?he is not been able to apply his knowledge due to form,but can tell youngsters surely[/quote'] Even Sehwag and Gambhir know it. Dravid and Laxman too knew those things. They too should have continued to play then without performing. They too could tell those things to youngsters. When a player performs then only he is comfortable enough to talk about these things to guide youngsters, otherwise he will only be thinking about his performance and if he does not perform and team depends on 2-3 batsmen to score in every innings then it will only harm team's chances. He may do well against England, I am not denying that but if he does not then its time to pack up, I guess.

Don't know, while reading the article, I get the feeling that he's gonna retire very soon.

They have done absloutely zilch in the past 2 years. Sachin looked good enough to perform in England, and he did by the admission of many. He socred 2 50's against WI in the home series and before the hoopla of Kohli began, don't forget he was our ace batsman in the first 2 tests. The last 4 tests have been bad for him. I am not saying that he should not retire but he has been amog the runs and on some occasions has looked apart from the others while the 2 you mentioned have been struggling for a very long time now.

I'm not saying he should continue if he has series like NZ,but if he can average about 40,it should be good enough.also he needs to bat at 5-6 n Kohli at 4

Just like Dhoni! :two_thumbs_up:

[panther]

a sad day for world cricket

[ravishingravi]

All good things have to come to an end. And this hasn't even been good for last two years.

I also took the names of Dravid and Laxman there. I said they all are playing at the highest level and they too know thing or two about batting or can guide young players, but it does not mean we will keep them because of that if they do not perform. Though Gambhir still has age on his side to get his form back, but that cannot be said same about SRT and then Sehwag is Sehwag. He can guide players without playing too by sitting outside in dressing room like he was doing for MI during CLT20 last year. If he can do that for MI, why not for India?

[Number]

He'll play in England series. If he does well there then no need to retire before Australia series.

[Desi Cartman]

I have a feeling that he will play till ...... Till the next overseas series. Which sucks

He can guide young players without playing too by being in dressing room like he was doing for MI during CLT20 last year. If he can do that for MI' date=' why not for India?[/quote'] ICC doesn't allow that. Else he'll happily do that.

[Lord]

He can guide young players without playing too by being in dressing room like he was doing for MI during CLT20 last year. If he can do that for MI' date=' why not for India?[/quote'] true but how would he be in dressing room ALL THE TIME if he isnt playing?he hadnt retired from MI,did he?
