Jagbir, ur compilation is great. Indian team depended on him for many years, but the fact is since 2 years are so sachin is not contributing much to the team. we can not keep him in the team on his past records. Every body knows that he can not play as he used to play 5 years before.If we compare today's Sachin with Ponting, hayden, Jaya Surya, lara, who are still playing good game sachin is not fit to play now. He can quit one days and continue in tests for few more years. A young player like Karthik or Raina can be made in to a good player instead of giving Sachin more chances.
