When asked about Tendulkar%u2019s flop show at the World Cup, Kumble said "one bad performance should not be the criteria to judge sachin's contribution to the team". But this is not only 'one' bad performance from Sachin, there are many bad performances from sachin for the past few years, sachin is not playing consistently like Lara/Jayasurya/Ponting. When compare to these three, Sachin is very BAD now.

I agree sachin is very low right now. But you are not making sense cos u are comparing sachin with the worlds greats to select him into the Indian team. Your logic makes sence if you selecting a wolrdxi team compare them to him. But it makes no sense tlaking of an Indian outfit. Do you see your blunder?

Dear mr K Satish Sachin Tendulkar can not be compared with the other Indian cricketers bcoz Prefix " Master blaster and Super star " have added before his name and obviously the expectations from him are more than any other player, there is nothing wrong in it???
Just give me your opinion " How can u claim super star batsman when u have your performance is same than other batsman abd EVEN LOWER than them???

As a matter of Fact, can anyone ever have anymore faith in Indian Cricket? Its not the Indian 11 playing this cricket, Thousands and Millions of Indians had their eyes focused on these good for nothing players along with their thousands that were spent on Homas and religios rites performed all over for the World Cup... and what did they do is to loose miserably to Bangla Desh... Its a shame it was like loosing to a much lesser known team...
I really feel that these players have been gven the royal tratment and the money they get from endorsements is too much to spoil their intent... I mean to say if you worry about your future place in Indian Cricket which mean bad show men no place in the team... a Player will strive to do better... (Look at Gangully - not a great show but much better than before) Shachin was a Great batsman... not anymore... I am sorry to say... he should be replaced... and so also the others...
As a matter of fact I would say replace the whole team and let the boys who play in the gully play... at least we can expect some results from them but from the present team I expect "nothing"
We cannot dream about our great past... Like the famous Kings like "Ashoka, Shivaji, Akbar" they were lejends but our future cannot be made by them... think of the present...
Sachin Tendulkar is a Legend... and need to be replaced... By keeping him in the team we are demotivating the others by giving them a silent message "Its OK to underperform or score "Zero" your place is fixed in the team and so also your hefty contract"
Think about one thing "If you own a company who has a master blaster Sales person who has made millions for you for couple of years by his unique style... and you have made him the Director of Marketing... and he starts slacking off... and your company one a great company is now in debt or has lost a considerable revenue... would you still keep the Master Blaster??"

Agreed 100% that 'his contribution was great'. So, REST him and give him a fat pension.
