Former Australian cricketer, Geoff Lawson, has come out in support of the iconic Indian batsman, Sachin Tendulkar. Lawson rubbished claims that Tendulkar’s time is up and he should hang up his boots.
The former Aussie International considers Tendulkar as one of the best batsmen to play cricketer, and said that the Little Master should be given a license to retire at his own free will and it should not be levied upon him.
Lawson said, “If there was one batsman in world cricket who deserves to be given that license to retire whenever, it's Tendulkar. He's still one of the best.”
Tendulkar has been in pursuit of his hundredth century for sometime but is yet to reach the milestone, albeit getting close on numerous occasions. Lawson believes that the Little Master was unlucky not get the ton of tons, as he looked in staggering form
in the Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
He said, “He played really well in the Test series. Though he couldn't get his hundred, I enjoyed his batting all through the summer.”
The debate whether Tendulkar’s should retire or not keeps gaining momentum. Certain critics hold that the Master Blaster has outlived his utility in limited over cricketer and should relinquish his ODI cap to a younger player. Critics argued over Tendulkar’s
performance in the CommonWealth Bank series, in which he only scored 143 runs from 7 matches at an average of 20.42.
However, despite all the criticism Tendulkar has been picked for the Asia Cup. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746, the former Indian cricketer and the Little Master’s opening partner, thinks it is the right move by the selectors. The Prince of Calcutta holds true that having
a player with such experience in the line-up will help nurture youngsters in the team.
He said, “It's a right decision to include Tendulkar in the squad for the Asia Cup. His experience would be a great asset to the side and the youngsters can learn a lot from him.”
Tendulkar has yet another chance to silence his critics in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 and if scores the runs he is known for, the debate will die down.
