Slump or end?

Tendulkar... one of my personal favourites in world cricket... an awe inspiring batsmen... i saw him in karachi when he was just a young boy and was baffled with his confidence.. is showing cracks in his impenetrable armour... these are scores from the last 10 innings he has played in test cricket 16, 23, 19, 14, 23, 26, 16, 28*, 4 and 1.. something is way wrong with him... comments?

The man is absolute class. Hope he doesnt find form in the last dig in Mumbai. Dont worry about him. Its only a matter of time before he crucifies someone

There is no doubt that he is one of the all time greats, if not the greatest.

It has been a joy to watch him bat over the years. The only criticism that can be brought against his batting is that he has not delivered when it mattered. But then again whenever he bats, he bats for 1 billion people and the burden can only be imagined.

After more than 16 years in international cricket, I believe he is showing signs of rustiness. I wonder whether he can ever regain even 25% of his magic.

As for the 3rd test which India virtually lost when Dravid asked England to bat first, only a big innings from Sachin can save India.

I think there are a few reasons his form has dipped...His time out due to injury, the injury itself will have done his confidence no good, the general pressure of his return and every time he doesn't score runs it builds more and more pressure upon him to score and thus increases the chance of failure.

I think we need to give the little master some time to come back to form. He will start performing again very soon. He is just 32 and has at least 4/5 years left in him.

Tendulkar has now been ruled out of the ODI series... he has a bad shoulder injury will be out for 8 weeks... i think its over.. it was amazing while it lasted but its over.. i doubt if he can come back from a elbow than a shoulder injury... ok so they say it only hampers his fielding but to me a batters power comes from where.. wrists/forearms/shoulders i say.. and it the chassis is broken the car wont do a 100!!

Tendulkar is a class act and will recover his form. He should play some domestic cricket to get his form back then rejoin the Indian side. Class is permanent , form is temporary

i'm 70% convinced with ur quote.But tendulkar didn't show any signs of rustiness till now
