well it is pretty clear that with his brand, he would continue to make enough money even after retirement (think michael jordon).
the problem is... whatever he might think, he is not doing anything good for indian cricket.
nothing is actually. with the kind of attitude BCCI has, the players are just well paid pawns.
they make good money. they do what they are told to do. and no one gives a shit in the end.
cricket as a game is in a mess. and there are no steps being taken to save it.
Good to know that at least some people in this world share my sentiment. Its actually a relief from my Sachin obsessed Facebook friends who would just pounce on me whenever I would suggest to them that Sachin should retire. Thanks to them, now I know what mob mentality is.
You are right that the players are mere pawns in the hands of the BCCI. They won't go against the board unless the board does them wrong. Our players do not care about the general state of cricket in our country. BCCI is the richest cricket board in the world, not to mention one of the richest sports bodies too, yet the standard of our domestic cricket is bad, our stadiums are pitiable, our spectators are treated shabbily. Ignoring all this, our greedy board is happy playing bully to the ICC. If India wins a tournament everyone forgets all these issues. The issue is temporarily solved but the larger problems persist.
Did you guys see how Harbhajan behaves when he gets a wicket? After taking a wicket he would act as if he has won some gold medal in an Olympic, and then the next ball would be in stands ! I just cant stand those 2 guys in Indian team !
Its the coverage given to him by the media that has got to his head. He's not going to give up his Punjab-da-puttar act, until he has got the mob watching his back. He needs a complete brain transplant to come to his senses.
