To be very honest, I myself was disgusted to read in the newspapers what Ian Chhappel said. His comments truly were uncalled for. I mean how can I great like him say that Sachin has started to play for records only. I dont think its fair to say these type of things for someone like Sachin or for that matter anyone else. As you put it, no one except the person himself knows best when to hang up his boots and we should stop giving suggestions about who should retire when.<BR/>Please do drop in your thoughts as to whether <A HREF="http://cricket.hedir.com/2007/04/02/should-sachin-retire-from-cricket/" REL="nofollow">Sachin should retire now or not.</A><BR/><BR/>Talking about retirement, it was sad to see Anil Kumble retire from one day cricket. The man whom everyone likes to call "Jumbo" was indeed a great servant to Indian Cricket for the past many years. His heroics in the field would certainly encourage many a budding players in the days to come. Lets hope that his Test career goes on well and the Karnataka lad can do India proud in many more days to come.<BR/><BR/>Thanks once again Sir for that well knit out post.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>AnandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589990359092395075.post-9954553943778899062007-04-02T10:48:00.000+05:302007-04-02T10:48:00.000+05:30Hey Kris, as an Aussie, in the past it was always ...Hey Kris, as an Aussie, in the past it was always great to watch Sachin bat while hopefully not wanting him to get too big a score so the Australians would still win. However this was not always the case and when watching him bat, you would sometimes forget the state of the match and just watch the master at work. As much as there was a contest between Lara, S.Waugh and Sachin for the title of worlds best batsman during the mid to late 90's & early 00's, Lara was arguably the most natural player of the 3, S.Waugh was the hardest to get out, but Sachin was the best if you combined both factors. His record and average commands that he is one of the best bats of all time. However it is worrying to see his form drop off considerably over the last few years but playing and/or training nearly every day for 20 yrs would do that do you.
