I think CD means the other two were both famously bankrupt and it won't happen to tendulkar because of his status within india.

He should've retired when he got his 100th hundred. No one will ever get near that and he would've gone out as a legend, like he deserved to.

Fully agree with this. Would have been a great way to go. Dont get me wrong he is still a legend, one of if not the best. But if he goes now he will be the legend that didnt know when to stop.

You sure about that? He's been the face of indian cricket for years, he must have a few quid tucked away.

Apologies, if I was not comprehensible enough. What I meant to say was that I highly doubt he will get bankrupted, he will always be able to generate revenue via endorsements, advertisements and so on. Not to forget as a politician even.

You're so diplomatic mate! Haha, always so very polite! I spent ages reading that reply to try and think of a non condescending way to put what you have just written lol!

Sachin is loaded.  his carrying on has nothing to do with money and everything to do with his sense of self within the hysteria that surrounds his every move- he said it better than I ever could in an interview a couple of years back - "when I'm batting, it is the only time I have peace".

Incidentally, for those that haven't seen it - the ball today would have done him when he was 25, even if he was a ton plus at the time.

The ball today would have done most...

The ball today would have done most...

Sure - but the quizical way in which he looked at the bat after being cleaned up said a lot.

In the past he would have played it off the front foot, not stayed pinned to his crease

Great captaincy from cook to bring on Panasar and Anderson to Tendulkar, he clearly hates facing both...

[Manormanic]

Ah come on - if he had gone forward to that it would have been a superb judgement call, he wasn't to know it would swing, cut AND grub...and the look can be put down to natural disappointment at getting an unplayable ball when he was already struggling for form.

Sir Viv has made an interesting point, and one which I completely agree with, that he has built up enough credit over 23 years, to decide himself when he quits!

However much it is tarnishing his reputation!

Humbled, many thanks for your generosity. You're way too kind pal.

Lets just hope he doesn't end up like Roy Jones Jr...
