Let,s face reality

Enough........ It is about time that We should stop thinking or counting individual records.No single player is bigger than the game. We Indians are always counting {Gavaskar,s centuries,Kapil,s wickets,Tendulkar,s centuries,Kumble,s 10 wickets, Sehwag,s 300,Harbhajan,s Hattrick, & many more} Walking away from the game when on top is not the policy in India & Pakistan.Only Gavaskar & Srinath retired on their own may be a few more. Our selectors should be strong decision makers I,am not against any member of the team but Players should know when to retire
Thanks

Right on bro.. As much as it hurts some players who cannot perform need to best judge when to call it quits. Someone else will not come upto them and be like "I think you should retire". For the best interest of the country and to further give chances to youth (with agression and physical and mental fitness).. these so called great players need to step down.. let the youth handle the responsibility.. maybe the whole transition process will be done in phases but thats the way to be keeping in mind the long vision for the sport. OH and please no politics!! Indian cricket has already suffered enough due to some bad elements in the BCCI and the team management

Exactly. About time we stop reading too much into records.
