I am a great fan of Sachin Tendulkar.And I will always be..
But watching him play these days - is very painful..
He is a shadow of the Great Batsman he was.His batting, for the last many series, more or less resembles a tail-ender's batting.
In the current test series between India and England, Tendulkar had absolutely no clue on how to play English Spinner Monty Panesar..
The way he batted, I don't think even he thought he could survive even one over of Panesar !!!
His batting has been extremely poor for the last many months - be it in ODI's, tests or when batting for Mumbai Indians..
The concern is that - He does not seem concerned..
Many times repeating the same mistakes..
A general lack of focus on the game..
I am an outsider, I may be wrong in saying these things..
But as an Indian Cricket Team supporter and a great fan of Sachin , I do feel some change in Sachin's attitude, which is not a positive one..
I doubt whether he is giving any thought as to how much damage his batting in the last few tests is doing to his reputation..
People say age has caught-up with him..
What I think is happening is that he seems to have lost focus..
Him accepting an offer to be a Rajya Sabha member when he is still an active player was AMAZING to say the least.He should have waited till his retirement before accepting such an offer..
He is picking and choosing ODI matches he want to play..
Some where down the line probably a little bit of arrogance or carelessness has crept into his mind, unconsciously, which is having an adverse impact on his performance..
By picking and choosing games and not being fully focused on Cricket, he is unintentionally showing disrespect to the game of cricket..
Sorry to say this..
It's now time for him to rethink..
Either refocus and apply fully and play with as much dedication as he has shown all these years or gracefully retire and give way to some youngsters..
Sorry Sachin..
Never thought I will write some thing like this..
I just watched you getting out to Panesar in the 2nd test between India and England (which is ongoing while I type this)..
Probably I am writing this more out of frustration seeing you batting the way you are these days.It's very painful watching you bat these days, SACHIN..
You are one of the greatest sportsmen India has ever produced.To see you struggle like mere mortals is distressing.
Hope you will be back in form the next test.. Else.. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
