If [Sachin] Tendulkar had found an honest mirror three years ago and asked the question: ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the best batsman of all?’ It would’ve answered: ‘Brian Charles Lara’. If he asked that same mirror right now ‘mirror, mirror on the wall should I retire?’ The answer would be ‘yes’.
On March 30, 2007, Former Australia captain Ian Chappell insulted Sachin Tendulkar in the newspapers, calling on him to retire. Since that day 4 years ago, Sachin has averaged 63.87 runs in Tests with 16 centuries, and 51.90 runs in ODIs with 5 centuries including the all time highest 200 not out. Enjoy the taste of that foot in your mouth Ian.
