Respect Sachin's Decision
by Reza Arif on Nov 07, 2007 11:35 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

With the way the selectors have been behaving .. it was logical that Sachin shud not accept this offer .. as he was only being made a scapegoat for this tough series...

He woud hv probably thought about it seriously though to see if he could probably produce unexpected results (A WIN) down under .. a series win down under as captain wud hv been a feather in his cap .. but the risk of non-performance was too high .. and he wudnt find a place in the team .. if we lose badly..

Also, the treatment the seniors are getting in the team is something that needs further probe .. Dravid relinquishing captaincy ahead of home series after a succesful away series .. and now Sachin saying No to captaincy .. there is definitely something that is not right!

Anyways .. it is Sachin's choice and we shud respect his decision!

It was not Sachin's decision. The Marathi coterie wanted him at the helm. But Selfish Sachin preferred an extended membership in the team. We will definitely respect his decision for stapying away from the captaincy but for a different reason.
