What makes you so mean in your articles about Tendulkar, Mr. Lavakare? I have seen you write this way about him lot of times. Rediff should allow such cheap writings to be published. All you r articles pour out such uncultured aspersions. Tendulkar never said he preferred to open regarding his recent middle order slot. May be you are a 'friend' of Tendulkar and he told you so. Should I believe that? John Wright has mentioned about that Multan declaration in his book. Go read that. It does not criticize Tendulkar a bit like you would imagine. Tendulka r gave a frank opinion in the press meet that day fresh from that declaration moments ago. He said 200 in Pakistan has been his childhood dream and that things were going the way they discussed in the dressing room until the declaration came as a surprise. It is understandable. Except that morons who are hunting for Tendulkar's head at the first possible chance felt very happy when the news broke out. A batsman can be given the chance to go for his 100 or 200 quickly with clear message. Remember Ganguly gave Dravid the same chance when Dravid was nearing his 100 at Sydney in the last test match when we toured Aus. He declared ultimately as Dravid was hurt and needed medical attention. Can we blame Dravid here for going for that century? or can we blame Ganguly just because I am a Ganguly basher. These are small things getting blown out of proportion. Relax....
