Why did Sachin bat for Saurav during his meeting with Pawar? The poorest two performers in the last two years have been Sachin & Saurav. It's clear that after Saurav, Sachin would be scrutinised and Sachin knows this. So this is purely a classic case of " I scratch my back, you scratch mine ". Sachin and Saurav need to be replaced wtih Kaif and Yuvraj in the Test team. We have to look at the future. Saurav's exit is not dignified but he was the one who brought it on him. Had he listened to Chappel in Zimbabwe and taken some time off, he certainly would have had lot to offer after a refreshing break. But Alas he doesn't want to work hard to break into the team, just want to do 'Dadagiri' and remain in the team for life.
