Amazing how Sachin took rest from two tests vs SA to became fit for IPL, playing for India is more important for a high caliber player like Sachin.- in the end what Gavas said is correct.

he was advised 3 weeks rest by the physio and he wanted to play the test matches. He played one but couldnt play the rest. Dont just keep finding faults.

At the least these unscrupolous celebrities can do is support the Tibetians and their cause, at least, in principle.

You 100% right my friend...........I fully agree with your view...........
China is the organiser of this Olympic to gain publicity. Those who would glorify the vanity of the Chinese are indirectly supporting the inhuman policy of China towards Tibet, East Turkistan, Manchuria, Mongolia and Taiwan. Olympic is about Politics. What Kalmadi got to do with Olympic? Is he a sportsman? Olympic torch is guarded by about 20 Chinese soldiers. Is it Politics or just pure Sports.
We should treat sports and politics apart. Olympics is an international event where almost all countries across the globe participate. The location where it is being held is ir relevant here . The most important thing is how we can group together and make this event a success. Please do not introduce the political thoughts here
The same folks who cry for Tibed would support for the JIHADI movements in Kashmir or LTTE in Srilanka ,ever where a section of people fight for freedom or Autonomy. I'm not supporting China here,if there is a real cause and sense of human rights violation there are enough ways to fight it but not by absconding a global event which is being followed for centuries.
Let EUROPE/USA stop using Chinese products to show their support for TIBET.. The first company that will get affected would be WALMART which is the main shop where most of the average or less income people buy their daily needs..
Try to impose diplomatic pressures on china. I'm not supporting china here but we should act in a positive way to resolve than by boycotting/violence which will never end the issue. I do not know being in INDIA and claiming Gandhiji as our Father of Nation but involve/support violence for such cases

friend these diplomatic pressure u mean is been imposed for yrs..... on china. it is now u have understood better because it is the perfect time for tibetians to express their strugle to the world..
Dear Sachin I feel you should not carry the torch. We understand that u want to convey the spirit of Olympics but being a celebrity, you should see the suffering of the people rather than the happiness .
