Recd from a friend Just for thought
Sachin says that as long as his passion & commitment is intact, he has no
intention of retiring. Passion & commitment for what ? The Game or The
Endorsements that accrue from it ? And didn't he forget a small little thing
called "Performance ?"
U couldn't fault Rahul Dravid for lacking in passion & commitment ever ! And
just one bad series Down Under, immediately after a stupendous performance in
England, and the man calls it quits ! That's what you call having Team India's
& the Nation's interests at heart, rather than your own ! U could learn a thing
or two from him, Sachin !
U say no one has the right to ask u to retire. Y not,buddy?! We too are Indians
& we would like to see our Team & Country do well & if we feel the Team is
better off without you due your poor performances or lack of fitness or poor
reflexes due aging, we will voice our opinion ! Right now people are advising
you, but soon they may well start castigating you !
And the guy does not want to retire as long as he is on the top. But are you,
Sachin - in One-Dayers, from which u r being advised to retire ? A gentle
reminder of your recent One Day performances, is placed below. Call this being
at the top ?!
