is this the right time for sachin to retire???

I don't think so, though his batting style has changed. And his age made some influence on him. Still, there are very many players to retire before him. I mean those guys playing badly from the very beginning of their career or those who are very notorious on indiscipline. They just hang around with just few records. Indiscipline should not be entertained despite their talents I think. There are many talented people out there. They await chances. Had there been no politics in the Indian cricket, we may have a team of allrounders. We can then think of Sachin's retirement, I think.
