How many of you think that sachin still has it in him.We dont really see him perform anymore like the way he used to.Even though im an adrent fan of sachin, i doubt if he should still continue in the team? Im saying this in the intrest of the team.No doubt he is a legend,but does he still have it in him?

if our back strength was lyk australia he myt hv already been chopped...but as v hv seen rainas n kaifs come n go v surely dont hv ne1 2 replace sachin at d moment...n he's still much better than these second lot of cricketers n even more consistent...especially in d one dayers.... n hopefully sachin's bat will speak for him come d world cup...as he knows best how to answer such criticisms....

I dint strongly say that he should quit.Im just collecting the opinions.But if somebody doesnt perform even under compulsary conditions,they dont deserve a place in the team.And ,that too when a player of sachin caliber doesnt perform it may become a take it easy state for the rest of the younsters in the team which effects the result.

I dont think that he should retire now,when India's performance is not that good. He can however,retire when there are some players who can take india forward,handle responsiblity. But he must do it when he is in peak,so that no one will kick him out!

we dont have players like symonds,clarke,hussey.....even after the retirement of waugh brothers their team is so strong as ever.but we dont find any consistent player to replace sachin.so sachin should be there

i think he can n he will play cricket for 2-3 yrs more. ya it is right he is not the same sachin as v saw at the age of 16 but u have to agree all things changes with time . but im sure if he plays regular cricket then he will b back in form n sure he will bring world cup

Well the present form of Sachin suggests that likewise Irfan he also needs to play some domestic games where he can get back his form and confidence. Once the player has that rest everything follows him. He should try to get these both things back and then decide after the world cup whether he should only test cricket or both.
