Arvind, I think most of us who, over the years, followed Indian cricket, BCCI , Selection panels, Pawars and Vengsarkars..would have thought the same. Alas, we still wont be able to do anything..I have been a "crazy" Sachin fan over the years..but everyone knows that when Sachin plays..he keeps the records somewhere in his mind.. No one, except Mr Chappel , probably dared questioning his attitude..I think it really takes guts. We all know anyone questioning him or Ganguly to some extent, would find no support from the "influential" people. It would be shame..if sachin is made captain..just so that Nationalist Congress wins elections and Vensarkars reputation in Mumbai remains intact..would be disastorous.. And we the people supporting this faction instead of Chappel would be doing disservice to millions of indian cricket fans, the aspirants..and the very future of our game our passion. If someone made a mistake..lets dare punish them..doesnt matter if its Sachin "The most popular cricketer". If the stars like Harbhajan , agarkar, ganguly , shehwag keep failing..and at the same time not accept their mistakes, let do away with them.. Arent we that made them star..I am sure we will find worthy replacements. And this time we will be more careful before we make some from the "new generation" star!! Guys..its about us!!
