You have worked for too long now in your job. Retire or else you are "selfish". Someone tells me that, I will say :F-- off:. When the selectors don't have the guts to drop Sachin if he is not performing upto expectations, you expect Sachin to take that call when its his own career that's at stake, and a passion that he has carried for so many decades now? And FYI, Sachin is not Indian cricket. He need not give youngsters a try. He is not trying out dresses for god's sake.
Indian cricket (and world cricket) will never be as popular without the likes of Sachin. And for the debate, Sachin is better than Lara, Ponting, Amla Hair Oil (probably he needs hair oil for his beard), etc....
