Whats your problem podhmaro??? If you have played sport at any level in your bloody life you should know...what money is to a sports man....he is because what he is due to the game not due to the money he has made which is incidental due to the popularity of sport. My bania is richer than sachin..really but do you know him or care about him?? Please do not critisice any sportsperson because of the money he makes....if he does not perform et al dats ok to criticise because i believe god has given you that right...to criticise by sitting on your couch..

Of course he will play! He chose not to play the last 2 Tests against SA so that he can reserve all his energy to play in the IPL!
Those who are not related to olympic sport have no moral right to carry the torch. Else it has only promotional value. We are glarmizing sports to dismal extent. Real cricket will no longer be played any more due to retailing of cricket. Based on loses and profits people will play cricket

We are such a poor nation that we have to request cricketers to carry the Olympic flame knowing fully well that Cricket will never become an Olympic sport. Our athelets are way behind in international standards (read Qualifying stds) what a shame!!

You idiot, there are lot people who participated various sports which is related to Olympics. You must be knowing only cricket as a sport. Very bad!
Get the message to China that Arunachal Pradesh is a part of India and also all the other disputed territories (India's side) else do not carry the torch !!

Olympics does not have cricket, but our country also has no olympians....so we excel in fitting the square block in round hole. As much concentration as it is on the olympic torch, if we would do on the sportsmen who should go there and participate, we would be better off. But then again...media would do and say and show what sells....

HE might not have got sponsors.... If olympic organisation will pay him he will run anywhere....
Always our desi Nayaks will come forward which bring some better base or bring some image but never will stand for a cause(only in Movies like Halla )never in real life.

Shame on on you man. Tendulkar is a national icon and you blaming him for greed for money or for publicity. I don't agree that he needs to do something like.. He is well known personality. "Think before you speak"

Rediff is only worried about the torch and its relay; it has nothing to do with other news of the world
