as for the sachin booing,,on one hand i feel it was unjustified considering the stature of the man,,but in retrospect,,me , being one among the frenzied fanatics (hungry for boundaries),,i think the booing was justified in its place

It is not a pleasant sight to see him potter around and then get booed. Havoc,

Sachin WILL come back.

I certainly hope so. It is not a pleasant sight to see him potter around and then get booed.

I dont think Dravid might be pleased the way the stats will read 100 all out on his 100th appearance. And oh yes, Sachin WILL come back.

My bad. i reread your post and I got the sarcasm.....

The post was sarcastic and meant to take a dig at the fickle Indian audiences. I never blamed him for not winning us the WC but lamented the fact that we couldn't win it in spite of having SRT. PS. I see that your comments issues are resolved. Confused, Oooh! trust me…there would be no one who would be more pleased if SRT made a glorious comeback.

Have a little more patience. And frankly, to gauge a lifetime of contribution to cricket from the fickle Indian crowd reaction does not make a lot of sense. Give that guy a break. He deserves a longer rope than anyone else. He is a proud man, when he feels its time to go, he will hang up his boots. I would not claim to know more about SRT than SRT himself. Lets wait for the second inning. If nothing else, he is still good enough for WC 2007. And yes, you cant blame SRT for us never winning the World Cup. Cricket is a game of 11 blokes, not just one gladiator-however gifted. I am betting on SRT. You have spoken too early man. Have a little more patience.

Pawar had asked Sachin's opinion and they say, that tilted in Saurav's opinion at least for the time being. <strong>Shub</strong>, I will definitely be saddened especially since we could never win the WC with Sachin. I still hope that he can come back strongly but he looks spent and people's lack of patience is not helping either.

I sure hope he does...and these last few innings don't mark the beginning of the end.... maybe if he can win the game for us tomorrow.... :) Well, even though I’ve never been a huge fan of the guy (his games…oh yes), it would be really sad to see the day he’d have to hang up his boots….I’ve always thought he’ll mature like fine wine and go off on a high note….

Things did not seem very hunkydory between Sachin and Ganguly for the last few years but isn't it a stretch to say that it 'consumed the former captain'. ? A very nice overall analysis though.

So, Sachin, for the sake of your great legacy and undoubtedly fulsome talent, hang up your boots. We are ready to boo the next hero.
