Sachin..Is he really great ?
by Thalaivar on Aug 22, 2007 02:15 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I posted yesterday that Sachin will tremble before Anderson on 1st ODI and that was what happened. He has proved again that he cannot help the team to get out of a crisis and he is a weak player in crisis. Please stop dragging him to the stature of cricketing greats. I really dont understand what Agarakar is doing in the team ? How could this less than average bowler could make into the team ? In that seaming conditions Sreesanth would have been a better option.

Yeh, Sachin's golden days are over. Agarkar is there because of the "Maharashtra Lobby". The team now should field yound players, like Karthik and Gambhir in the opening slot. Does not matter if we lose a couple of games.
Give more players a chance in the seaming conditions.
Even, RP Singh was not moving. What is the fun of having Munaf in the team who can't bowl 3 sucessive deliveries of more than 130km/h, who can't bend and collect a bowl to through. We need a complete overhaul and till then expect some lossess.What is if we chuck Rahul-Ganguly-Sachin-Kumble out of the team for Test/oneday or both and see the result? Can BCCI take the risk ?

Well said Mr. Dipal I am totally agree with you. All the old horses should be kicked out. Only the big name is not enough, they should play & contribute enough to win the match but not make their individual records. Certainly they were great in older days, but those are over now. If you really want to save Indian Cricket BCCI has to take serious dicisions.

FIVE YEARS back IMRANKHAN said in an interview that SACHIN is not a match winner. He is right. However, our mind is very small. We never accept the truth.
