When Dravid relinquished captaincy, many in this forum blamed Sachin for this and wrote that Sachin wanted captaincy and he along with the selectors were responsible for Dravid's resignation. But he proved them wrong by declining captaincy. Had he been selfish, he would have accepted the post because he would be the captain for atleast 2 yrs and his position in the team in both the forms of cricket would also have been safe. But he didn't do it. This is his way of showing his protest to the selectors and the board for the way they have treated Saurav and Dravid and also to silence the people who say that he is selfish.

how noble--after accepting Vice captaincy in collusion with vengsarkar: petulant and sulking after told to bat lower down the order: who are you kidding!!He is the man who made he statement "indian team is now in safe hands" after Dhoni was announced as captain--here is a man who was in team mgmt meetings till yesterday and now suddenly he saw reason? The point is simple--australia tour is tough and with vengsarkar's conditions for players to retain places in the team--is going to be difficult for all including sachin.
