The moment Steve Waugh was seen as a liability he was shown the door. steve waugh was the ultimate cricketer in hour of crisis, Allan Border turned the Australian Cricket's fortunes, Lara is still single handedly capable of changing the course of a match and even in this world cup except against Srilanka when he was stumped briliantly by Sangakkara he has played well. So dont compare the "SO CALLED" BEST BATSMAN IN THE WORLD MR SACHIN TENDULKAR who except for those 2 matches in Sharjah against Australia and 2003 match against Pakistan has never played well in any big matches. So 3 innings in 17 years !!! I think it is high time he quits the game and save Indian Cricket
