MR, Nair, before commenting on SACHIN, how many cricketer does your state has produced being termed as most and highly educated state in india. when you are unable to produce a single cricketer to represent india you have no right to comment on. Sachin is not saving himself but the rest of the side as he knows it may affect the careers of many younger players in the side just because of this. yes he has right to say in his 17 years of career he never faced a situation like this. what is the respect we gave him to his dedication and sincerity to the nation? what we did for him when he took single handedly india to finals in last world cup? did we awarded him the "BHARATARATNA". BUT still he enjoyed his cricket hence he played and playing it. look at the everyteam the kind of respect that is been rendered to senior players. we in india just they lost a match unfortunately, and we run death ceremonies to our players. how many countries people were doing like that buring and conducting such ceremonies. winning and losing is a part every sport unless it is not sport and all we needed is sportsman spirit which is lacking in our indian audience.
Really as a cricket fan i am feeling ashamed of what we in the name of national pride did to our greatest ever cricketer of india and world"SIR SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR" LONG live SACHIN.
