jk16_4 said:We also have to take in mind that tendulkar will be in tremendous pressure after his return to international cricket. Even if he plays a little domestic cricket, he will definitely be rusty.
unfortunately if he does not perform well in a first few matches, then
the media will surely torment him. his situation will be very similar to ganguly
and everyone will be making statements like "the time has come for the little master to retire" and blah blah.
Although, i have a gutt feeling that he will regain the form he had a few years
back. ok, he cant be as good as he was during the WC 2003, sharjah etc
but he can try to come as close as possible IF HE WANTS.
ONLY TIME WILL TELL !!

After the 07 WC is when he should call it quits.
A couple of guys by the names of Bradman and Waugh made it well past 35...saisrini80 said:I think Sachin can play till he is 35! He is not an average fielder like Ganguly and he gives more importance to his fitness! Yes, he has got this injury to his elbow but other than that, he is a great believer in fitness. He can continue till 2008! Same with Dravid. Dravid and Sachin can continue well till 2008 and also by that time, they should help the other youngsters in the team mature into great cricketing individuals!
aussie1st said:I guess he could, but he definitely will play up to 07. If he has anything to achieve after that then he will continue on.
