Hey friends all the people who really know cricket or have played some time even for their local colony team know how blessed our generation is that we have seen such a gr8 batsman named Sachin Tendulkar playing. His Straight Drives, Cover Drives, Backfoot punches, Pull, flick of the wrist, Pedal Sweep(inventor of pedal sweep) awesome. His Sixes at Sharjah, his batting in WC 2003 against Shoaib Akhtar, the first batsman to have Tricolor flag on his Helmet,his Valiant effort at Chennai test against Pakistan, his 200 against aussies in Melbourne, his 152 agains Aussies in their own cuntry against McGrath, Warne n Gillespie n there are lots more he has inspired the whole generation. Even his botom hand grip which changed the batting style of present days youngsters Batsman like Sehwag, Dhoni, Yuvraj if u ask them who had inspired them n their batting they have only one answer. But from deep of my heart i want him to retire not cause he is playing bad or something he is still the best in the buisness but because he has become the fav punchbag of some of the people who dont know even the C of Cricket n in their own life are frustated n loosers. It really makes me sad n i think also to all genuine cricket lovers. If Sachin would have been from any other country then surely he would have been respected as Jewel of the country but i think this country has got more number of Loosers n frustated people.

What more respect you want him to be given ? Should Indians write on their body that he's great. He has got more respect and bit more.
BTW even a autorickshaw driver after some years of riding his vehicle will become so expert that he can drive in dark. Sachin has played more than 700 matches (both test and one dayers), so what's the big deal in that ???

I agree with your analysis but not your conclusion. Why should the most prolific batsman ( even currently ) retire just because a few a**h*les want him to? He is a fighter, he'll go down in a blaze of glory.

Great amit. You have succinctly put the feelings of so many paople who treasure Sachin & are dismayed by the tendency (especially of some news channels like Star news, who make caustic comments on him just to get some TRPs. even yesterday I did not see the match after he was out. There is no one who has performed so consistently & agressively for so many years. People should remember that Sachin, Saurav & Dravid walked into team as newcomers & never went out. Such was their performance. Which youngster to recent time has displayed such consistency? How con you replace them just for the sake of a change?
