Tendulkar turns down Test captaincy
by Vinaykumar VENKATESH on Nov 06, 2007 06:11 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Ah!......... Mr. Colonel (Vengsarkar).... now please go ahead and discard even tendya from the test squad if you are impartial!!!
hats off to your dirty politics with Dravid!.... because you grudged him out of the ODI team citing his poor form. All this in just ONE series against the World champs!. tendulkar has half a dozen of such poor series! and still in the team bcos he's a mumbai'kar!!!

Dravid's gentlemanly decision to step down is SAME as Tendya's....... now keep even him off the team...

Shame on you Mr. Colonel...

We had not won test series outside the sub-continent for the last 20 odd years i.e. from 1986 till almost 2005. In all this matches, Sachin was there. We lost most of the series because of our batting.

Sachin scored well, if others do not perform what can he do.

Even a score of 120 to win a test, we lost this even when our great Sachin was there and against week west indies attack . DO NO blame others, tell me how many one day finals has he scored runs and won for India ? Only one out of the 20 odd finals India has played.

out of 41 hundreds 29 have been in winning cause similar statistics can be seen for the test matches also. Stop being jealous and stop running down a great player.

Sachin batted for everyone in the team. Others took rest.

He earned as much in most of the failed matches, while others didn't.

should check with tendu whether he addressed letter topawar with cc to vengu-(as dravid did)-if that's the case he should huff and puff and keep sachin out--

TENDULKAR IS AN UTTER FAILURE, now you try naming as many series in which he did heroics to save India from critical situations. You wouldn't remember anything beyond 1998 Sharjah....
