All good things

.... have to come to an end. So what's the big deal? Why torment him with these debates? I wish these people would leave Sachin alone, stop dissecting his batting. It was very painful to see the manner in which he was clean bowled in the previous match. Imagine what he must have gone through in that moment. So what? What if weaknesses have crept into his technique? What if he appears to be a mere mortal now? He maintained his greatness for 16 long years. What do these people expect, he will keep batting the same way forever? Why raise a hue and cry after every match that its time for him now? I wish he would spend some time with himself now, try to analyse what he wants, rather than trying to meet people's expectations. And I wish the others would just shut up and let him decide. He's a fighter, the more you try to write him off, the more his instincts would tell him to bounce back. Just leave him alone. Let him think and decide. I wish to see one masterly knock from him, just like old times, the way Sampras won wimbledon and then announced his retirement. That is possible only if he plays for himself, not for the people. I wish Sachin would relax.
