Time to Bid Adieu...Sachin?

from ODIs i.e.

sachin, you have been god of cricket...you always will be...and i am your one of most ardent admirer if not biggest fan in the world...

you have already achieved what others can only dream of...and i don't see any one coming even close to you in future the way cricket is being played these days...specially in ODIs...

i know you are still enjoying cricket...we too are happy to see the same old sachin again...and we still cherish most recent CB series finals...

so where is the problem, you may ask...

look at our current odi team sachin...from distance...

sehwag and gambhir are not only cracking runs at breathtaking pace with some consistency but more so are enjoying each other company...the camaraderie is there like never before...

sehwag has found some much needed pause...while gambir is batting as if all bowlers are his enemies...and dispatching them from their presence...

but more importantly...they seems to have not only conquered bowlers but those lingering demons in their mind as well...not surprisingly the results are there to be seen to believe...

and there is the problem i talked about...

when you will return to ODI fold either of two will have to make way for you...

specially for you...for no fault of theirs...

as we all know how much you like opening in ODIs...

for you...accumulating more runs will only add to the never ending telly of boring statistics...like another dollar in bill gates account...

you don't need them to prove anything...you are already beyond that...

i know there is still one thing left in your overstuffed godawn of medals...

the world cup...

but see sachin...

first...it is another three years away...

and most importantly...

do you want team to get consumed so much in the thought of bringing world cup for you that it will be sort of nothing less than distraction to them...?

cant it be like that you keep thrashing oz for us in tests and we all keep on enjoying cricket like never before...the real cricket...?

i know your sponsors will not be happy with me for this...and i may get some serious thrashing from your other equally passionate fans across world...

but still...think over it...for once...please...

thank you.
