What is left with Sachin's career? He is in a position to play a FATKA now - nothing to loose.... In this situation, Sachin has no alternative rather than to please Sharad Pawar. He knows his retirement need is knocking at the door - now retiring as captain of Team India is an ornamental thing for him. These cricket players don't have any devotion for country - moneymaker - wealth amasser - no feelings to help any underpriviledged. I am commenting these by giving example of one Steve Waugh who comes atleast once a year to India (Barackpore, WB & other places) - and our players! Ha! Hence, Sachin becomes captain or Rahul completes shelf life of captaincy - nothing helps Indian cricket. In between Greg Chappel like person will come and loot some money and go....
