You are right. Now Chappel has left and it seems that Sachin, whose average is below 18 in the last 11 matches (excluding Barmuda match)in outside India, won the ugly battle of Cricket politics in India. Who is still supporting Sachin while better batsmen and alrounders are there in India. Why should he continue with the Indian team with an average below 18 per game. He wanted opening slot, but he used to get more than 35 overs to bat whenever he came to ground at No.3 or 4. What else he wants???
