Tendulkar to retire after 200th Test

Sachin Tendulkar will retire from Test cricket after playing his 200th Test, which he is scheduled to play during the home series against West Indies in November. In a BCCI release, Tendulkar said: "All my life, I have had a dream of playing cricket for India. I have been living this dream every day for the last 24 years. It's hard for me to imagine a life without playing cricket because it's all I have ever done since I was 11 years old. It's been a huge honour to have represented my country and played all over the world. I look forward to playing my 200th Test Match on home soil, as I call it a day.

"I thank the BCCI for everything over the years and for permitting me to move on when my heart feels it's time. I thank my family for their patience and understanding. Most of all, I thank my fans and well-wishers who through their prayers and wishes have given me the strength to go out and perform at my best."

Tendulkar's retirement had been the matter of much speculation. He had wound down his career in phases, announcing his retirement from ODIs in late December 2012.

Sportsman like him, Beckham, Gerrard, Totti, Kallis, Federer etc are true sporting legends, both on and off the field.

For me, it was an honor and a pleasure witnessing their playing careers start and now end.

Big shoes to fill IMO.

Thanks for the great memories guys.

the pool these two nations cricketets come from

Soodum to be honest none mentioned by Lionel would be at the top of my list in their respective sport.
I hope that is clearer now ?

And to me Sachin would be a candidate for the top of my list.Not Kallis ever

After all legends is an intense word or not
