i agree with you buddy. if i remember correctly, sachin hasnt contributed in a final saince the 1998 coca cola cup in sharjah. failinig in one or two matches might be ok but this horrendous run for nine years will be completely forgotten . where is the accountability? recently in southafrica, in the lkastr test match, sachin p[ottered around for two hours, without scoring and finally got out in a bizarre fashion. if he could have contributed a fifty plus score, we would have definitely won a seriers in southafrica. alas, that was not to be. everybody forgets and moves on. then thenext series comes and we will throng our stadiums waiting for them to perform miracles... it is so stupid erxpecvting anything from these selfish cricketers....
