Mr. Alam, Forcing somebody into Indian team is not desirable, already we are carrying a burden in Viru , then why pathan too !!! Sachin is playing well, may not be like Sachin but still he is playing far better than some of our reputed good batsmen. Again his experience counts too. Pathan has nothing to offer right now, he is out of form as well as he is injured. So why not to take a fit and consistent player in Pawar ??? he is taking wickets quite regularly. And against one hat-rick of pathan I can put sachin's 75 centuries !! Tell me which counts more ??? lastly, Sachin is not the burden it's the Indian which has been a burden to him for quite along time. jai Hind.
