For quite time it seems that The Master is not doing any thing concrete for the team. The Master as we all love to call him is losing his touch. Against the minnows Bangladesh he failed to deliver. When he was needed the most, we call him the match winner, but where is the win.

The master has a rare gift and talent possessed
by only one in thousands .
I think the country will be better served if he paces his innings and game . Bring some attack to it just like a yuvraj singh or a dhoni .
He has the ability to attack and he is a beter player when he attacks . He has the ability to upset the likes of glenn mc graths and shaun pollocks .
He must wear his attacking shoes .
As far as retirement is concerned he should not .
There is still lenty of cricket left in him .

Yes, You are right. After 17 years he has nothing to prove to anybody, but to himself whether or not he wants to continue or not. And if he wants to continue he must enjoy the game. There is no need to hold back for him. He should do what Sanath Jayasuria is doing for Srilanka.

yes...he should .all players should be dismissed from indian team.not a sachin alone.list includes dhoni,sachin,sehwag even ganguly.ganguly may be top scorer but his play is not for team india,it was to sure his place in indian team
i was a die hard cricket fan.and as i am an indian i have a great support for them.but not any more.i dont understand why they fail?they were never serious.they broken hundreds crore of indian people.they not at all tried to fight!
I HATE THEM ALL...i mean it.now i take some serious resolution.i will never waste my time for cricket anymore.i am tired of indian team.

He should retire from one dayers. This I agree would have a very bad effect on the Indian team, but considering his injuries and the greed of the BCCI to make them play as much as they do, Sachin would be better served and better utilised if he follows the way shown by Shane Warne. He is a genius no doubt.. but he is struggling.. And I dont say struggling for form.. struggling to remain injury free... give him some rest.. take him off. Being bold is better than being emotional.

I dont think the Sachin should retire right now..
He still has plenty of cricket left with him..
He is still an all-rounder. He can bowl some exceptional deliveries too.. and moreover his fielding is also superb considering his age..
But its just about his consistency.. Since past few months, he has not quite performed to his full extent. But neverthless, he is a team man..
And moreover he is one of the best batsmen in the world.. Regardless whether he performs or not, but when he comes to bat, the entire opposition team gets on the back-foot..
I think that Sachin is wise enough to announce his retirement time.. He will definately retire from Cricket when he feels so.. But right now, he still can perform better for the upcoming couple of years..
He is the Master Batsmen in real sense.. Can just take the attack on any opposition..

I am struck with a doubt when i went through this discussion.To my knowledge one thng needs clarification here. most of the cricket lovers of Indian team want Indian team to win the matches they have played. If they win, we are one among the masses who say that indian team is excellent. The point of debate comes when it does not do well. This is the same with talking about sachin.he has played for 15yrs and did his best for the indian cricket.its all past.there are many new players who are waiting for a chance to prove their caliber. the place in indian cricket team is not like first come first served basis. talented young indian guys need a place to represent the country..i think seniors like sachin should give a chance to youngsters and make the team more energetic....
