Instead of going to the media and slamming Chappel, Tendulkar should retire from Cricket with whatever self-respect left. No doubt he was a great player once upon a time. Had he contributed 17 years to Indian cricket (as he said) as a great player, Indian cricket shouldn't have been in such a pathetic state now. People want good performance and not his heart and soul. The decisive match with Sri Lanka during the ongoing world cup, his contribution was a big Zero. And on paper, he is supposed to be the master blaster! This shows what his contribution was. He is so greedy for money and fame that he is defending his pathetic performances like hell to hang around till he can milk more money in whichever way possible. As can be seen, during the last few years, he performs in one match to get a century for himself for records and then relaxes in the next numerous matches. He is making a sorry figure of himself and I really pity him. He has damaged Indian cricket beyound repair by hanging around without any positive contribution.

Averages can be betterd by scoring against Bermuda ,Bangladesh(till last Year) and other Z grade teams and where others have scored also and won the games. Show us when he single handedly saved India from crisis like Kamran Akmal & razzaq saved test match when Pakistan was 145 for 6 on 4th day and everbody thought india will win before lunch but match was drawn and both these played patiently . i can remember only one instance when hemade first 100 at lords in 1990-91 and saved match .After tht he was never man of crisis.
