Mr.Bhushan Parab, I m glad to be Indian and I m not a Paki supporter. But useless cricket lovers like u wont understand what I m saying. For you Sachin is everything whether or not he plays. I m not only commenting against Sachin but I have also commented against Zaheer Khan who is also a Muslim. Please the debate is all about cricket so let us restrict our talks to cricket only instead of abusing anyone's cast, creed or religion. We have to understand the very important fact that YOUNGSTERS r the future of Indian cricket and they deserve opportunities. I m not asking the trio and Zaheer Khan to retire. This should be a smooth transition. Unless these youngsters get chances how would they prove themselves??? Mind you these youngsters have made India win a world cup whereas Sachin, Sourav, Dravid, Zaheer had never helped India to win even a single world cup.

I agree with you Usman. I also feel the same. Zaheer somehow lacks the killer instinct and he is pretty predictable after a couple of fours are hit. It looks like he just goes blank I have never seen him try out some variation at least. Pathan seems to have learnt. He is also multidimensional. Only good thing Zaheer did was win the match of dead rubber in Mumbai against Australia. And let us not talk about caste. Remember Pathan was the man of the match in the final in T20 cup. Let us not behave like irrational Shoib Malik who asked for forgiveness from all the muslims for having lost the match against India. Now the world is seeing the things happening in the Pakistan political scenario. I strongly believe there are more people who support this country irrespective of caste or creed. I saw it in the eyes of Pathan's father after our victory

Yes Jaguar. That's what I mean to say by smooth transition. Let there be a mix-n-match of youngsters and seniors. This will help the Indian cricket team and the selectors also.
