and other 10 players that cant deliver when he fails A country that has over a billion people and more than 75% of it cricket lovers and cant provide 11 good players It is sad but deserving That we wll have to listen to more of such meaningless dinosaurshit. Now let merit get its place Greg Chappel as coach - Poor records Niranjan Shah as Administrator - Poor performance Dilip Vengsarkar as Selector - Poor work Their performance for this world cup and overall has been bad. Sachin as Player - This world cup -Poor work overall - Excellent. Is there a man of calibre to replace him right now? No one has proved himself more worthy than him. So with due respect to Sachin Bashers You have no credible replacement. So many times so many people had said Sachin cant be depended on in the most crucial moments then why did BCCI not oversee selecting 10 people who could have tided over that one moment. Why did we not have 10 players who could overhaul 250 odd runs? Think with your brains people Dont blame the lame duck among the blind and dumb for everything. And let me put it real perspective The young generation of India today is not man enough, we have seen the debacle in all spheres of life. You allow moral policing, in the 1970 and 80's it wouldnt have been allowed. You allow casteism and reservations, back then it was on the wane. Perhaps you had too much of pampering, you dont deserve any better. Wake up. Be men. Accept your defeat graciously and get fighting over all that is right (but not bysenseless voilence. Prove yourself if you have the balls. I dont hear voices on dismantling this BCCI and nationalising it, making it more answerable to the Indian public. This is one limited company only benefitting a limited nuber of people. They can represent us but not answer us. This has to end. As all evil has to end. But I dont expect you young peole to have balls so I know all this has been wasted. Pity India.

living in the past is not a good idea, Sachins performance over the last couple of years has not been good enough. What is the use of all those records if he doesnt play in the most important matches. In tests when was his last serious contribution which allowed us to win or atleast to compete hard. Maybe there is no replacement right now but if we groom a proper youngster over a period of time we might get one

The point is Before you strip the tree of all its leaves, let the promising new leaf come out. We shouldnt have a minnow team just because we are upset with our seniors. If tomorrow (in 24 hours) we get people who have capabilities or even promise like Sachin, keep Sachin out. That simple. Just no sentiments pure professionalism in giving the right to the deserving.

Damn you Samson, First man to talk sense on this Blog. Atlast a cool head. If you can find a better player then replace, yes thats the key. I agree totally.
