To learn lessons from the legends whom u have mentioned one needs 2b selfless. Sachin as u rightly said plays only for personal records just like how Gavaskar did. I think all those people ending with kar's Gavas(kar), Tendul(kar), Vengsar(kar), Agar(kar) only do that and to expect them to resign on their own is like asking for moon. The only solution is he should be thrown out.
