hold your horses. sachin could have reserved his comments for a later time and date. chapell hasnt opined it anywhere. media leaks can come from anyone from selfish crickters to a rude coach. sachin's anguished comments can be true/ or could be to delfect his criticism by playing a sympathy card.
sachin is no longer at his prime, his recent performances have been average - the other day when sachin was batting well himself, there simply no comparison to yuvraj singh blasting away sixers. thats youth - thats good cricket. take jayasuriya's recent innings - it was awesome stuff.
i'd have preferred sachin doing some batting after the deed was done by chapell, not before. he sounds terribly guilt ridden himself!
