Sachin has been a great player and has his supporters as well as critics. But I am happy to see one thing - that ALL Maharashtrians have not FANATICALLY taken up his cause. At least, this is something better than the case of Saurav Ganguly, where almost all bengalis are fanatically supporting him as if Saurav is more important and bigger than INDIA, and are totally blind to his poor performance and politics.
