Please have guts to announce your retirement - as others do not have guts to retire you compulsorily. In this way, you will be emulating your worthy contemporary - Steve Waugh. We'll also like to remember your past glories rather than your present shame. In any case, you're not playing for the game any more, but only for the moolah ! Wish you all the best in your new commercial ventures - sans cricket.
RE:SACHIN - RETIRE NOW

Companies ask 'bad employees' to resign honorably and get resignation benefits. If they refuse, their services are terminated. All of us know this. Can't BCCI do something similar?
What right does the Govt of India has to waste tax-payer's money in giving security to some advertising stars?? Did BCCI reimburse GOI the bill of such elaborate securities? If they needed security then they themselves should have arranged for the same by paying their own advertisement-money to some private security-agency or so. Chappell sucked off crores of rupees from BCCI - he should pay for his own security. At best, BCCI itself should have had arranged the security of their dream-team.

don't worry. BCCI is now considering a new dept. "Natinal Cricket Security Council". They have felt the need for it as politicans r running the show. Cricket laws r in the process of being amended but they r waiting for a nod from some of our senior players.
Sehwag Ko "Mayur" Pehnao, Sachin ko "Pepsi" Pelao, Dhoni ko "Brylcream" Lagao, Ganguly ko "Chywanprash" Khilao, Dravid me "Castrol" Bharao, Yuvraj ko "Lassi" Pilao. Lekin in M*fk... ko cricket mat Khilao
Have any one has given the same kind of security to Viswanathan Anand who is making India pride all the time he plays for it . Never seen the same honor is given to any other sportsman who has brought the GOLD / Silver and Bronze medals from ASIAN games .

Mr Sri Hari. Vishwanathan Anand brings good name to India. So no need for police protection. Police protection is needed for people who bring shame to country like our cricketers, politicans etc etc. PLz don't compare Anand with our 11 morons in blue.
Its a point of thinking for Indian public that Government is providing securities to those who puts india in very bad situation like these Cricketers, Terroriest, The politicians, Criminals etc...Is their any example when Govt provided any security for sportsman and atheletes who return from either Olympic or Asian Games ? No.....Can any one gives me example who feels secure in the India from Police...? No....In 1947 v divided into two nations and right now v r divided in so many nations...just see the terroriest activities,they r demanding for separation ? See most of the corrupt & criminal politicians are enjoying great kind of security dose TATA, Ambani, others are getting such kind of facility on cost of Govt....? No....
I suggest every one to use 'Right for Information' and ask the government for expenses incurred on these so called great shameless persons's security..
I am sure...'Agar Gandhiji ko Bhishm Pitamaha jaise Ichha Mrutiya ka vardan hota to aaj voh bhi use maang lete' lekin sharmindagi se....

the police is helpless and they are ordered around by these corrupt politicians and cricketers and media ....so if they are told by politicians to guard these shameless cricketers houses they just follow orders becoz the police cannot take the law in its own hands and disobey orders from corrupt politicians ....these shameless cricketers are being protected by marketing companies and politicians
why are these shameless cricketers gettin police protection what have they done to deserve such high security with the help of tax payers money ....why should India forgive these shameless people who ruined indias name in te world and then they are roaming around with heads held high.....i think such high security should not be provided using our money...the politicians,cricketers,media are all brothers of the same immoral mother called GREED and they are all thrying to protect each other but let me warn you the day the PUBLIC TAKES MATTERS IN THEIR OWN HANDS all you immoral cricketers,politicians and media will suffer a painful end ...I must thank rediff from the bottom of my heart to provide someone a platform to put my views in .....this is a very dignified process for bringing change in India...this platform is the one that provides me the stage to express myself ....lets me practice my fundamental right to expressing my views on BCCI and i thank rediff ......this is what makes India the greatest country in the world ...freedom of expression, democracy ....this is why I love india so much and feel bad when the BCCI villans go abroad and have fun with our money and then not only cheat us but disgrace us.

dont think self respect of indians is so weak that it will get destroyed if the cricket team loses... neither will the world suddenly hold india in very high esteem if india wins the cricket world cup..... Intel just announced that it will open a $2.5 bn plant in China.... would india have got this plant if we had won the world cup of cricket?? incidentally china does not play cricket and neither does the US.. Incidentally US is not the cricket or football world cup winner... does it in anyway destroy the self respect of Americans...???

all this is good for argueing but let me tell you Brazilians are respected the world over for their football although its a 3rd world country and half of the country is under poverty....in simple terms if you have lived in a forign country you will see that forigners continiously make fun of india for not finding 11 decent cricket players out of 100 million people .....and they kow that cricket is religion in india ....so they will think that india is a country which loses to bangladesh how can it compete with the developed country in business art sport ...they they lose respect for us ....they lose respect for ghandhi, buddha and the millions of true national heros from this great nation

i do live in a foreign country and ppl here do not care if india wins or loses the world cup... they do no even know if india plays cricket... and frankly around 30-40% cannot place india on the world map... when the indian PM comes here, it is page 6 or page 7 news in a small right hand corner.. the respect business has for india is totally due to the talent of indians...pls do not link the self esteem or achievements of millions of indians to a cricket team which does not play for India but plays for BCCI, a private cricketing body...
