The Wheel is Forever
No but seriously, well done to the man. He is clearly looking forward to the 2011 WC. I think he'll call it quits in ODIs at that time, but I hope he keeps on going for a year or two longer in Tests.
He may well have 50+ ODI and 50+ Test centuries by that time, which is something he might be hoping for personally. I'm probably hoping for him to get to 60 Test centuries, but that'd pushing it - he'd have to play until he was around 41.

if you love him so much why don't u guys get married? lol hah jk
just wanted to bring some humar to this place..
I would personally take Sachin and Lara over Bradman any day.. this may surprise you all but the reason i will go for them over Bradman is because i never watched him bat.. i have seen a video of him in youtube.. but it isn't the same.. i don't know much about the bowlers that he faced.. the kind of pitches he played on and the most important aspect of the game for me is aggression.. how fast he played and made those runs..
Strike rate and aggression from both bowlers and batsman provide entertainment in any format of the game.. this is an skill that set one player aside from another.. this is why players like Sehwag, Afridi, Sanath, Chris Gayle and Gilly will be remembered long after they are gone from the game of cricket..they could change the game with their aggression.. I would have to say that both Sachin and Lara has/had these skills.. unfortunatly for me i wasn't there to watch Bradman to know about that aspects of his game..so that is why i would go with Sachin and Lara..

+++++++++++++++1,000,000,0000lol why do you continue to put yourself through this. You're only torturing yourself.
this entire odis are meaningless, tests are everything bull**** is so overdone. Pratters put on this show with his "shows how much i care about odis" comment after the first match. And after this match, clearly shows just how much he cares. Clearly he would not have even clicked the scorecard had he really not cared.
No matter how much of a "i'm a purist" crap people might put forth, deep down inside a true cricket fan is one that just loves the competition between bat and ball. All you guys care about is proving yourselves as purists. Complete bull****!

A sign that he is playing in his prime - those numbers.

Seriously speaking these two are very similar in that they keep thinking how to improve the team and the game going on. So they work together towards the common goal. Seeing some one as dedicated and serious about his job in the pavilion gives confidence to the other. They add a lot to each other and the sum is very good results.

His second major prime after 1997-2002 I think.

In the last 12 months, Tendulkar has scored 2,176 International runs @ 75.03 (ODIs and tests combined) with 10 hundreds. That is an incredible number.
1,018 runs in test matches @ 78 with 6 100s from 10 tests
1,158 runs @ 72 from 24 ODIs with 4 100s.
Surely leading the Player of the Year awards...

IMO he actually resembles more his young self when playing ODIs.

Yeah he is scoring quickly but there doesn't seem to be any risk in his game at all. In his prime there used to be chances.

Only when the "mischeivous" element of him crops up with a cheeky paddle or a deliberate scoop... But 90% of the time Sachin Mark II is much more mature, orthodox and risk free as compared to Sachin Mark I. As a result, his play has become more predictable (as in risk-free, consolidation-oriented), but I feel that's more effective than Tendulkar of the old. Particularly because, while Mark I Sachin dominated bowlers, he also gave them chances to get him out. But Mark II Sachin does not pummell bowlers to submission, rather surgically disposes off them with precision, yet at an awesome strike rate and renders bowlers hopeless as there are little visible deficiencies in his approach now.
