I am saying this with a great sense of grief that a person when the entire India regards God succumbs to pressure and gets out in the second ball for a duck (sri lanka).
He was in the Indian team for his wealth of experience,if that itself is not put into use I feel he should quit the game once and for all or atleast the One dayers to begin with.
New talent,new blood,young players should be included and players like Sachin, Sehwag, agarkar should give up their mantle.
How long we Indains ,a cricket crazy nation tolerate such players.
This was written from the heart but analysed by the head.
any comments?
Sachin Tendulkar is one of the best batsmen the world has seen but rules should be the same for all. When we can rest/ ban/ shun Cricketers like Ganguly, Kumble and many others for non performance then why and how does Sachin is given benefit of doubt every time?

I think he should be the floor manager at tendulkars and manage pomfrets and zinga... and retire from cricket before... its too late...😆... We mostly dont win matches when tendulkar plays... so it doesnt really matter that he is present or absent in teh team...
I think consistency should be the yard-stick and thats it... we have so much of population some budding talent in some corner must be ready to go...
Edited by qwertyesque - 17 years agoNoooo... Everyone wants him to retire. Can I ask you one question -
Why do you think he should retire :
1. Lost his Zeal?
2. Forgot his game?
3. At 34 years of Age he is toooo old?
4. Not serious?
5. other pls specify.
@Anshu: I am not advocating Sachin's retirement. But when he fairs poorly in few matches then he should be rested or shunned as well. Just because he still remains the top batsman in the world and his previous records shouldn't be the only reason to hold him back in the team forever.
The rule for selection should be you don't play then you don't stay.
