rkt.india Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Since he did not see himself playing the 2015 World Cup, it was appropriate to quit the 50-over format in the best interest of the Indian team, batting great Sachin Tendulkar has said. The senior batsman said it was best to allow team find a winning combination ahead of the tournament, to be held in Australia and New Zealand. The 39-year-old batsman said it was right to walk into the sunset, keeping in mind IndiaÃÔ title defence. Ū felt in 2015 when we go to Australia and New Zealand we should be fully prepared to lift the trophy again. I donÃÕ see myself playing in the 2015 World Cup and thatÃÔ why I felt I should back off and the team should move ahead and form a balance, formidable combination for the 2015 World Cup, Tendulkar told NDTV. One of the gameÃÔ all-time greats, Tendulkar, announced his retirement from one-day cricket in December last year, bringing to an end a glorious 23-year-old career in the One-day format during which he rewrote numerous batting records. http://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/i-didnt-see-myself-in-indian-2015-wc-team-so-quit-tendulkar/article4379019.ece
Laaloo Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Hope he develops the same attitude towards tests also
asterix Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Hope he develops the same attitude towards tests also Inshallah...
Spiderguy252 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Why did he play in the Australia tri-series then?
Mahaa Raavana Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 What a pity...Hope he will enjoy his game in tests for many more years to come...
JaFanatic Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 What a pity...Hope he will enjoy his game in tests for many more years to come... thanx for ur concern:icflove:

King Khan Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 least SRT stay off the radar from media better of him IMO, if he really wants to play few more for India. Indian test side cant afford any non-performing player atm, its just some respect of his past record and his personal goodwill helping him stay listed in the squad. As Dhoni said, its transition period goin on, very soon Sachin's number will come.
Pagalpanti Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I guess he wanted to be part of it but realized he couldn't keep up with 2 formats anymore. Better late than never.
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 we should ask him whom did he see. That will help selectors
Tridibans_16 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 All of us wanted him to retire. He did. So whats the improvement? We lost to a piss poor Pakistan team at home with most batsmen failing big time. AMrk my words, when he goes from the test scene too, replacement of Jadeja/ R.Sharma etc. would make you people so so depressed...........

We won against England you forgot that. We have won series without him too even when he was not retired and was rested.

What I meant was when he left, his form in ODIs were way better than many of our current lot. He scored a 50 in his last ODI.

He scored a 50 in his last ODI.[/quote'] How do you know his form was better than than current lot because he last played an ODI 6 months back in Asia cup and at that time, most players were in form not just him. He was in as bad a form as others against England in tests which transformed later in ODIs against Pak too.

Tridibans_16 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation Exactly. Hence in no way ousting of Sachin will help India be better at ODI's atleast in the foreseeable future. :winky:
