What can I say? I remember Ganguly's supporters pointing their fingers to sachin without shame and asking whether the criteria for oosting ganguly applied to tendulkar also isn't it? Time and again his commitment and sincerity to the team have been questioned by reckless people and everytime he is answering them in the only way he knows, with his bat. Had he been born in some other country, they would have immortalised him in all their walks of life. But being an indian, he's living through all the criticisms, taking one match at a time and giving his 100% always. People conveniently forget that he invariably performs as a bowler on most of the occassions when he fails as a batsman. It's time for us to stop questioning his commitment and fitness. I'm sure he is such a gentleman that he will retire on his own when he understands that his time is up.

And in the meantime, I want everybody to just sit quiet in their living rooms and enjoy the magic he unfolds everytime he comes to play. He has kept us more happy than our political representatives and film stars and duly deserves a "Bharat Rathna" award without fail in his lifetime.

After making a careful observation of many "Expert" Match reviews since South Africa tour, I have come down to a dismal conclusion:
That these so called "Experts"/ "gurus", especially the ones who sit by the TV set and get down writing their articles after the match, have a general tendency to pick on a cricketing great like Sachin. Now I have tried a lot but failed to gather a single reason that some people based their verdict about axing Sachin from the Men in Blue.
I am an Indian too and I do kick and curse my TV/PC whenever we loose a match against an opponent for foolish reasons. But some sections of the "Junta" seems to like making Himalayan blunders which can never ever be repaired. How can you even think of dropping Sachin when he is still contributing to the team with the same will as he did in 89' when he took guards for the very first time at international level.
His tactics and approach has changed over the years and I hope everyone understands that change is the only constant! We cannot just expect him to go out there and be a Robin Uthappa when half of the middle order we have seen, falters more than often. I believe its high time we Indians understand the role Sachin plays in the team.
The aggressive bayonettes have to be rested on the likes of Robin and Gautam. (Sehwag's homecoming should certainly be welcome, based on performance though).
Sachin is a hope for the Men in Blue and I dont think its fair to him to be asked to prove his mettle time and again. Facts and figures: He is still topping the charts. So why raise unnecessary stir for the media to flare it up?
There is only one Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar that Indians can proudly boast. He is 33 now and making an honest analysis, I think he can easily fire for one more wrld cup ie. 2011 in Asia. What an honor will it be to bid Goodbye in such a legendary way!
So do not ever write him off the cards too soon, coz' any given day Sachin can single handedly re-write history! Its ur turn

I feel great, Sachin is the best batsman in world. And the way he batted in last match agaisnt windies showed how good a batsman he is by scoring his second fastest century in ODIs in about 75 balls. And hopefully has done enough to silence his critics, who think is machine not human.
I just hope he continues to play aggressive, positive innings with responsibilty esp. in upcoming world cup so that India can lift the world cup.
