Yes I agree.... Critics just answer these questions..
1) On last 20 innings of Raina and Shewag whom would you pick based on stats only...if you want to add potential then also whom would you pick... 2) In 3 matches which was played in World cup , there were 9 so called seniors and 3 juniors.... out of which 2 failed in all 3 matches -- Utthappa and Dhoni... Munaf also did not do well in the match against Bermuda.. Going by stats only we could have lost to Bermuda if only "Juniors" would be there. Will that satisfy Sachin's critics. 3) Dhoni came into team with his performances in India 'A' . He was batting at 1,2 or 3. He scored his highest score 180 odd batting at 3. He is currently batting at number 6/7. Who is responsible ? Sachin and seniors or the team management including coach. 4) For those who want to see Sachin bat , where is he best suited no 1 or no4. who is repsonsible for him batting at no 4 just 2 months prior to world cup ????? 5) Who is repsonsible to encourage and make sure Irfan Pathan's dipping performance comes up again ? Seniors or Coach / Management ??????
Its not Sachin vs Dravid vs X Y z. Problem is not also that Sachin does not bat well in pressure games , if that was so we would have not reached so many finals and won so many series.... Is just we remember what we want to ... who can forget Sachin at Sharjah , Chennai test against Paki ., his 241 against Aus.. and most recently his 100 in 70 balls....
or just remeber his failures and keep againsing....
And by the way who all are saying that he should retire apart from Indians ... Mike Atherton (England) and Ian Chappell (Aussie)...
Is it a coincidence that India is suppose to play series with them this year only.... I think all Indians should remember "Divide and Rule" policy and stand united against such people........We should win those series with or without Sachin and X Y Z ...
