A true legend of the game retires.

What a privilege its been to have been able to watch him play live.

True but what a sour way to go.... cut short the SA tour so that he can play a mickey mouse Test on home soil.

legend of the game. Explains why SA v India series has been messed up...

I'm sure Tendu wouldn't have cared where his 200th was. The BCCI obviously do care. Massive revenue for them.

+1.

Why not come to an agreement with CSA?

2 test in SA, 2 in India... or something like that.

Hardly his decision regarding the tour.

Quite a good idea. Makes you wonder why the fat cats on the CSA and BCCI board dont think up stuff like this.

You can understand him wanting to play his final test on his home ground.

All the BCCI crap aside, the game is losing another legend. He's set the benchmark for all modern cricketers, and I don't see anyone getting near him any time soon.

True legend.
He gave up his freedom for Indian Cricket.
Poor guy can't even go onto the streets in day light without being lynched.

Well he gets paid a **** load, so I guess trading your freedom isn't that bad

Have you ever read or watched a documentary on his life?
Being paid **** load for not being able to leave your house unless under guard must be fun.

 

[Ecco]

Never seen a doccie on his life. Can you share some details?

Legends of Cricket is very good.
Honoring a legend I also enjoyed.
Master Blaster was not bad either.

I'm sure its better to cry in Ferrari than in a Tata

He is a true legend in cricket. This past monday my son played in a cricket game against his son (Arjun Tendulkar)

 

[Alton Turner Blackwood]

Legend through and through!

Expect some suicides.

Could be. If i recall a couple years back someone killed themselves when he was injured.
