Mr.Miles, It is news to us that Dale Steyn and Co are more difficult to play on slow Indian pitches than Bret Lee and Co on the quick Aus pitches (where Sachin just scored 500 runs in 7 innings) that Sachin had to fake an injury. If he had to do that, he could have easily done do in Aus. You must be a genius to have figured this out. Moreover if carrying Olympic torch was not meant for non-olympians then hundreds of others would be disqualified. In WC 2007, Sachin was not alone to fail.(This was the 1st WC that he failed, whereas in the last WC he was player of series in SA scoring 623 runs). Any player would have a bad day, so put blame on one individual? Cricket is a team sport and winning or loosing is not dependent on a single individual. There were also other so called "heroes" (much hyped) like Dhoni and then you also had Yuvraj and Dravid (the great skipper) who let India down. Winning WC is not everything, one has to play consistently over Get a life man and dont criticize just for the sake of it.
