1. Regd Rahul's declaration - You were correct that the captain should be a team man. But when you say a team it doesnot infer that he has to look for the benefit of the players. The match is being played against pakistan under pressure and we should not show even the slightest of complacency, which sachin did at that time. He has been given enough time to complete it. And he was not able to do it. He is responsible for that.
2. Batting in the middle order - what the hell is sachin doing by reporting this to the media. If he has anything to say about his position in the team, the best people to be reported are the selection commitee, coach, team management and the captain. Why is he addressing these issues to the media. Everyone is shouting when the coach is reporting anything to the media but what were we doing? What is sachin doing? What is sehwag doing? what is ganguly doing? what is dalmiya doing? Come on man!!! We are educated and i think we have the minimum sense to distinguish what is right and what is wrong!!
