Sachin is great not because of his records, but because of his overall personality. He is great in dealing with peers & Juniors. It's not a secreat that he has all the shots of cricket with him, which is also proved with his records. And the most important thing, after 17 yrs of international cricket, we are not getting any other person to talk about. Isn't it a sign of a great player? You are still compairing him with anybody and everybody in cricket. As indian, we should be proud of Sachin, which is making entire world proud (See Grower / Don Bradman / Shane Warne / Brian Lara / Akram etc.... everybody appreciate greatness of this little master, and we indian are talking about WHEN he should retire???)
