Should Sachin Tendulkar retire from International Cricket?

And he scored another hundred after that in a domestic match. Will Sachin fire up this World Cup lik he always did? I want to see him in top form this world cup.

I said about 35 .Well,I think he is in form.He's scored just 1 duck and most of his scores are above 30 and plenty of scores above 50 with 2 centuries.

With players like Sachin form dosnt matter no matter what kind of form you would always pick him.

Very true. Sachin in his worst form is more reliable and much better and always would the 11th choice if not the first

I have to disagree. I don't think any international player is good enough to warrant an automatic selection regardless of form, and that includes Sachin. The fact that any position isn't guranteed adds more hunger and purpose to that player's game, and sometimes a wake-up call is needed by getting the axe. It did wonders for Zaheer and Sourav for example.

In saying that, he has done enough to suggest that the number four spot is his for the World Cup, but he should be made aware that his position can be threatened. I don't think this will ever happen though.

True..It comes down to how one defines FORM as on a GENERIC basis...am sure he would fit in even when he is in HIS worst form

Can you imagine what would happen when he does!! India will be sad but happy im sure at the same time. All the memorobillia that will come out! (licking my lips!!!!)!

Now he makes some silly excuses for his poor performance. I remember one famous proverb: “A bad workman blames his tools”. This is the story with Tendulkar. I think his presence may prove costlier for India in the next World Cup. I am damn sure he is not going to be dropped from the team for any reason. No one has the guts to do that( ). For the benefit of the team he should say good bye to international cricket.
