why he is playing in team then. If he is not happy with position 4, Either ask to take whatever you want or shut up and go home and play with your kids. Remember Sachin played in 2003 WC at number 4 in some places. He is playing at that position for quite time. If he is a great player, he need to be flexible and play acocoridng tothe Team's needs. If he wants Opener position, where Vuthappa and Sehwag need to play? Say did sachin has the same kind of flexibility and same power when he was at 17? We need to be flexible enough to play according to the situation. He is unable to play even 5 consecutive overs and time again getting out in the same fashion (inside edge on to the wickets).
