Sacin
by Magesh Viswanathan on Nov 06, 2007 11:17 AM

Its time Sachin adds value to the team. It was nice to see him contribute in bowling in the last match. But, we have to groom younsters. We should get rid of tendulkar-ganguly opening pair and rather assign Uthappa and Gambhir that job. Both these lads are successful openers in domestic cricket. If Uthappa gets going at the top order we can easily make big scores.

Lots have been said about Sachin being unable to finish any innings and win matches at crucial stages. I think coming at 4th down will be the best option if he intends to wipe off this comment on his career. Moreover, he is termed as 'GREAT' batsman and hence I'm sure he can silent his critics w/ his performance even down the order.
Just imagine Sachin hitting those winning shots for at least 4/10 matches. It will not only be great value add to his career but also treat for his fans.
Lastly, if someone like Sachin is waiting down the order, opponents will always have that pshycological fear and pressure.
Finally, with current playing XI, the order that I would love to see:
1. Uthappa
2. Gambhir
3. Ganguly
4. Yuvraj
5. Dhoni
6. Tendulkar
7. I. Pathan
8. Harbajan
9. Zaheer
10. RP singh
11. M. Karthik

Comments welcome.
