Looking at todays performance, why sachin is there in the team inspite of repeated poor scores? If you can ask Ganguly to play in domastic cricket to prove his form, then why not the same rule to Sachin?Call him back and ask him to play in the Ranji trophy matches to prove his form.

The point should have been raised three months back. Anyway, the time has not been passed. Apart from Dravid, all other batsmen should be selected after good performance(s) in domestic cricket. This is what we can expect when politics rules over sports. Ganguly has been victimized by the Pawar-politics. Sachin and Shewag should be dropped immediately. Bring back anyone like Gambhir, Uttappa or Ganguly. I strongly believe they will make at least 10/15 runs whereas Sachin Shewag have scored only 2! Dhoni also should learn the responsibility; he is not a joker to entertain the people. He had to stick to the end as Kemp and Hall did. He thought, I've made my contribution by scoring 55! He forgot the target India was chasing. Dravid is a failure again as a captain. Leadership is a separate quality that can't be practised. It is in born. You can make more sharp this virtue, cannot learn. Sachin also was good batsman but a weak leader. Now Laxman has been brought back. One good batsman without practice can't compensate the failure of 6/7 off-form colleagues. Let's see.
