Yes we fell down our level but there is a difference between being Lara and being Sachin. Being Sachin, even though you score the maximum number of runs and bailed your team to many victories you still get ridiculed but Lara will not be, even if he plays a rash stroke and gets bowled like he did against India in the champions trophy. Yes Sachin level of playing has gone down that is acceptable. It would be a good idea to let Sachin come 2 down.Or May be Six down like lara and show that he can score 50s at six down coz there is no juice in bowling, ball is not hard, easy to take singles and much better to slog at the death. But when Sachin is dropped Ravi comes back and say your best batsman needs more time at the crease. Too many cooks spol the recipe and in Sachin's case it did.
