Hold on... I agree that Sachin is an exceptional player. "He was", I must say, than "he is"!!! I doubt if he can play a game (1 atleast) of that calibre that he used to play during those days. What good do you think does keeping a senior player in the team. It is nothing but sheer experience that helps in certain situations. And if Sachin can not showcase his experience, why should we carry this burden on our head. Chuck him out as the rule is equally applicable to each and every player in the team. Sachin is no "god", as what has been portrayed by the media. The team India will play even without Sachin being a part of it. This is not to be a game of politics, but a game of skills. Those who don't play on the grounds and only on papers or backstage, should simply be dragged ou tof the team. They don't deserve any mercy at all!!!
