Well, I reckon he is waiting to finish on a big note....however, if that big note is winning the WC, I doubt he'll ever retire and may actually have to be kicked out! :P Then again, seeing the way the BCCI works, he'll have support to stay in the team even as a non-performer until he's 50 or 60!
I do agree though that it's high time he retires --- he doesn't have it in him any more. I have enjoyed his innings years ago but when he does play the big ones it's very rarely in the crucial games and it's not with the same flair and flamboyance that he did have.

I think he doesn't read news papers these days. Thats why he has no shame and wants to continue even though he knows that his time is over. Some people don't accept the fact that there days are numbered. Seems to me, he is one of them. Or May be they don't understand the meaning of Graceful retirement. The Cricket Board needs to have an appriasal system implemented and that will decide who stays and who gets a kick on his back.
Mr. Kambli is the only person who thinks that Sachin is a fighter and we should give him time to fight. Isn't that a Joke of the Day. HA HA

I think Sachin should realize the truth and call it a day. He has played enough cricket and has seen every peak. I believe those answerers saying he still has a few more years of cricket left in him are a little selfish and want to see the exit of a great player in a shameful manner from the cricket arena and it will be a tragedy if a player of his class and caliber would be shown the door by the selectors.

I'm ready to cover you up if others attack you for asking this question.
Tendulkar WAS a great player no doubt about that, but time has come for him to call it a day. Every good thing must and will end one day or other.
If Tendulkar stays, then a few youngsters will miss the chance to get into the team. He will only be a huge burden.

Lara has retired when he is over 37 years ofage, whereas Tendulkar has only completed 33 years. If he is confident to
regain his form and perform well, he can continue for another 2 to 3 years. It is upto him to take a decision as to when he should retire. Considering the name he has earned for himself in international cricket, I would like hikm to retire when he is in good nick.

Tendulkar was a great player, not any more. A good player is measured not just with his huge scrores against weak opposition or in an unimportant match. Tendulkar lacks the mental strength to bat successfully in crunch matches these days. Can't remember any of his innings taking India to victory in any do-or-die matches in any of the post-2000 matches. As he cannot be of any use to the Indian team at the moment, it's time to call it quits for him so that new players can take his place and get themselves groomed.

Nope. Lara's retired at 37, Sachin's just around 34, 35

Boss you got it all wrong. The adage still applies to Sachin Tendulkar. Is he not minting gold even at this 'old' age by not performing to his potential, by getting his endorsements aired even now?
