No one can take away the records created by Sachin. But, now he is past his prime and no where close to today's best international players. Performance against top teams is missing.
His time is over. Period!
Tendulkar or any other cricketer should earn his place into the side.
The present fiasco is largely due to the senior players and their agents. This matter is no less serious than the match fixing episode. There is money and greed involved in both.
I hope BCCI accepts Zee TV's proposal to develop future cricketers, or, comes up with some novel program, in order to break the monopoly of few individuals.
