Tendulkar played 403 ODIs. His average is 44.12. Out of 403 matches, India won 199 matches and lost 181 matches. Out of his 41 ODIs Hundereds he scored 29 Hundereds in the India's victory. His average in India's victories is 56.84, ie more than his career average. In world cup matches his average is astonishing as 57.93!! In all finals his average is 46.52 !! again more than his career average!! In series won his average is 51.26!
What do the people(only a few dumb who raise their voice) expect from him when they say that he is not playing for the country?
Do they mean that he should play in all matches everytime and all other batsmen should get cover from him to save their miserable performance??
One should study, during the captaincy of Saurav, most of the time India fielded 7 batsmen (sometimes Dravid was made to keep the wicket!!) Why was it necessary?? Just to cover up other non performing batsmen??
People says that Tendulkar was failure as a Captain. One should study that When Tendulkar was captaining Sheenath was injured, a few batsmen were sitting out due to match fixing. Therefore, was it correct that he was a failure. Our selection committee of that time was very in hurry to make Saurav as a Captain without digesting the true facts!!
Today he has turned down the captainy because there is more importance to ODI captaincy than Test Captaincy.(Is there world cup of Test as ODIs? No!) Therefore he is correct in turning down the captaincy of Test Crick

Rather than just debating baseless, people should analyse the statistics of Tendulkar and other batsmen including Dravid, Ganguly etc.. One will find a very few player such as All time great Viv Richards etc can match Tendulkars greatness!!
