They cannnot play that many games I agree, because consistently is the factor !!!!
Sachin started playing at a tender age, 20 years and on still playing consistently with a pressure of more than one billion fans on his sheer head, a cricket crazy nation where cricket is religion and this very man is the GOD of this game in his country.
And in a country if you do not perform well the Media is so strong that it makes the common man come out on the street burning effigies, throwing stones at his house(s) & you start getting death sentences on the phone.
And this is indeed amazing about Tendulkar that he is consistent still. Still at the age of 35, in which that he should have been in the commentry box .
It is indeed very hard to be playing and playing good for so long
Forget about scores, quality & quantity we are still no body in the game to judge all those, let that too be decided by the Sultans of the game & that too without prejudices & witout premeditated views.
BUT FOR HIS CONSISTENCY HATSS OFF TO MR. SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR!!!!!!!!!
YOU ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST CRICKETER THE GAME HAS EVER PRODUCED
