True that. If he prolongs his retirement further without getting into any kind of form, I think SRT fanboys would be halved by the time he retires.[Lesser controversial threads] |

Tendulkar is interesting. He has now played in four separate decades - I think he's a little different in terms of memory. I'm 28 now and I was five years old when he debuted - people have literally grown up with him, and people who were adults are now pushing middle age so he's been such a huge overarching figure in so many people's sporting life that I don't think that'll be the case. The kids who only grew up in the past ten years, it's of course a different story.
If you didn't watch cricket in 1998, you don't really appreciate what he meant. The only useful thing in 1990s for Indian cricket - where winning away series in Zimbabwe seemed impossible.

Getting annoyed at Shastri saying 'hundred for two' instead of 'one hundred'

Well, Gambhir and Sachin aren't exactly in great form.
Probably scared of getting out as well, given the media uproar over their failures with the bat recently. Determined to not lose to England it seems. |

Tendulkar isn't trying to hit out of form. He very much knows what reactions he'll get if he gets out for a 10 in 50 deliveries or so. Still he has so much confidence in his defense! What a great fighter!
Someone like Pietersen needs to learn this from players like Tendulkar, Dravid, Kallis, Ponting - having confidence in your defense in the worst of times...

Really poor captaincy there, giving him the easy single like that.
