Sachin Tendulkar Retires From ODI Cricket

Mixed feelings. Glad that he has quit because he was past it, and was not going to be part of the next world cup plans. But boy, if ever "end of an era" meant anything to me, it's now. Make no mistake, the 50 over format was (and probably still is) the most popular format in India. We grew up on Tendulkar's ODI exploits as much as we grew up on lessons learnt in schools. What a player, so many memories. I am not even going to attempt list my favourite knocks because there are so so many.
Blessed to have followed almost all of Tendulkar's ODI career. About the right time to have been born in India. Thanks, great man!

Nothing as of yet, and lets hope it stays that way, will be pissed if retires from tests.

would have definitely had packed houses for the pak games if he had played those.
Still can't believe it... Or don't want to believe it rather
awta.

Little bit of me says this, another bit wonders what else he has to give?

This is good news for me, think it will give himself the best chance of returning to some form in test matches instead of finishing off mediocre in both formats.

I still feel he can score runs against the Aussies, despite his recent form. Don't think he will play against SA in SA but I want him to play the Aussies. It's unfortunate that India don't play any more test matches after the Aus series until the end of the year.

Not enough, GTFO Tests as well.
Arguably the greatest batsman in the format, etc etc

Too many great memories, and innings to list here... what a champion... best odi bat ive ever seen
that is only in retrospect .......
He should've retired from ODIs at the end of the WC , but continued on in tests ....
He had just played one of his best test innings - 146 vs SA - in his last test before the WC ....
-------
Anyways farewell to the greatest ODI player of all time ...... been a privilege to watch many of his fantastic innings .....

The 98 vs Pak in the world cup is pretty much the best odi knock ive ever seen... every single boundary he hit in that innings was orgasmic
