Tendulkar is selfish

[Salamuddin]

Doubtless many Indians here will have their feathers ruffled but the truth is SRT
is basically standing standing in the way of young players like Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma by prolonging his career.

A batsman of his stature really ought to take a leaf out of Rahul Dravid's book and retire with some dignity.

Even if he does decide to play on in tests for a bit longer, can't honestsly fathom why he'd want to play ODIs anymore - ain't gonna get any better than a WC win at home.

Offering a sweet double on this, not just the mod who does the close but also how many posts it will have before the padlock appears.

VM me your bets.

I've never heard of Ajinkya Rahane

 

[Ruckus]

Played 11 ODs already for India. Immense FC record too. Saw some of him player in the IPL (the gold standard of judging someone) and he definitely has a a bit of class to him.

 

[fredfertang]

We've been hearing for a good few years now about all these wonderful Indian batsmen he, Dravid and Laxman were/are holding back, but none of them seem to take their chances

kohli is a ****, but seems to do well anyway

 

[Ruckus]

Well I mean Sharma and Rahane haven't been given chances in test cricket yet, but I don't see why on earth you would want Tendulkar to step down or get dropped (ha) considering he still easily carries his own weight. In any case you want the balance of experience and youth in there, and pretty soon they will inevitably lose a lot of that when Laxman and Tendulkar retire. Why force that change even earlier?

He's preventing me from making a batting wheel. The selfish bastard.

Would love to see a batting wheel

He has earnes the right to retire on his own terms, and while I agree that he is more or less just playing for records right now, its his perogative and until he starts to hurt the team or not pull his weight, let him. Also unlike Aussie and old W.I. boards, they will allow him the honour of calling it a day when he is ready. Short sighted maybe, but the right thing to do.
