Sachin, you should come up with the goods in the near future. You should show the selectors how capable you are. Lot of difference is there between resting a player compared to dropping him. I would love to see the straight drive, square drive, flick and master class cover drive. Go back to the basics and play your natural game. Just think that you are 18 now and play. I am sure you will deliver and i am here to watch that. Please,please ,please play your natural game at no.1. Indian campaign did a big mistake opting you at no.4, the worst the world can see. Sachin at no.4 is like a body without soul. He should definitely open with explosive cuts and flicks
Wish you a very happy birthday!! We all wish that you come back in Bangladesh and smack the minnoes to show them who is the boss. You will always be!! Let the team selectors also hear the knock and hope you get back into the one day team at the speed of your ferrari and perform better than that.

boss prakash jay since the day he was born was sitting on the pitch in cricket field with bat in his hand sacrificing his childhood and life for cricket he is sincere that is why he is requesting sachin to give place for him because he feels strongly that he can easily replace sachin

If you have such skill then why you are not in the team? if you are not having then suggest any other?
Hi Sachin, This is Sravya from Hyderabad wishing you a very very happy birthday. You and Sourav make a good oneday opening pair for India than any other.

Why not, because Ten*dulkar will be played till his 50th year. And BCCI will use its influence with ICC and take permission to have a permanant runner for him from this year, and he doesn't have to field either, he will surely his a century every 20 matches.

ha ha ha!! that clearly shows the frustration of tendulkar detractors... Even when he's the senior most player, he can still be included in the quickest fielder in the Indian side... Only because u hate him doesn't mean that he's bad. He's the best batsman in the world. a striking bowler and one of the better fielders in the side.. What more can u ask for?????
May god give u 100 more years to live... but not another year to play for india again....if u still continue to play than i will always pray u those zeroes in 100 does not carry any value...... I wish .. sorry we people of india wish that u retire by ur own rather then be thrown out of the team....
Its clear that tendulkar is not the same batsman he once was - but that is only to be expected. His reflexes have slowed and he has lost that extra split-second that he used to enjoy. That makes him look more ordinary and vulnerable. But I still think he has a very compact technique. And given the lack of talent around, he can certainly hold a place in the Indian team for now. Would he make the Australian team right now - the answer is no. But there arent too many knocking on the doors of the Indian cricket team right now.
Where the team management can help him is by giving him a clear role. I think he enjoys opening the batting in one day cricket. It puts him in a positive mindset, and it allows him to enter the field when India is 0/0 - so his mind is fresh and clear. I dont think he has the adaptability to adjust his game to different scenarios when he plays in the middle overs. He ends up thinking about it too much, and not playing his natural game. So, I think Sachin should open the batting in one day cricket.
In test cricket - I think he should retire. We need to nurture a new look middle order. Sachin - in my view - is not a great test match batsman. He is good, but there have been many better than him. His only hundred in the last 2 years has been a scratchy one at kotla - and he is simply blocking the number 4 test slot. That is a slot that yuvraj should now occupy. In our test match line-up, I think we need to look at building the nucleus of a new team (batsmen between the ages of 23 and 27).
The argument for sachin to retire from both forms of the game is just that it would protect his own legacy. Ponting is going to break all the records anyway - so why should sachin protract a flailing career.

Ponting is great.. but nowhere near the greatness of SACHIN TENDULKAR. Ponting is not gonna break any records. His current form will be there for 2 or 3 years more and then.. he's going to be like anyone else.. I've noticed everyone who criticize sachin is pointing out his performance in the last couple of years.. That itself is an indication that he was in form almost for a good 13-14 years... IS THAT NOT ENOUGH?????
