Brett Lee retires from international cricket

Obviously the interest will slowly reduce. It may not take 10 years though. Once Viru retires I may hardly watch matches.

I don't even care if sachin's battin. But i always make sure of to see Viru's innings ..even though he stays at grease for a short time ..he's a full time entertainer and when he is in full swing ..not even lee can stop him

Michael Clarke against india 329 *. Ultimately the test got over in 4 days, He could have even broken 400 if he wouldn't had stopped

He would have gotten past 400 but he wanted a result rather than a draw. Just like Ganguly decided to declare when Sachin was on 194 against Pakistan at Multan IIRC.

What I hate is when some feel that Viru stays at the crease for a short time. I think people have made this an assumption that aggressive batsmen cannot be consistent and can't play long innings .

Well take his stats from 2008, he has been incredibly consistent with a magnificent strike rate in all three forms. He probably has been the most consistent Indian batsmen since 2008.

Anyway I'm pleased to see that you love to see him bat.

That was Dravid not Ganguly. Knowing Ganguly, he would have allowed Tendulkar another 10 overs to get his double.

^^Ah, Dravid yes !

For that Tendlya still holds a Grudge Against Dravid.He had not attended his retirement farewell party in mumbai neither dravid soped about him in his speech.Only yesterday he gave a statement praising dravid

I think Tendulkar is not as bad as portrayed by the media now a days. When an absolute selfish man like Geoffrey Boycott is praised, why cant a person like Sachin
