sachin gave joy when his contributions mattered to the team......can't recall any such performance in recent past. selctions shud be based on the merit of performance & going by that simple & universal yardstick......sachin doesn't deserve a place in the team with his current form.
And don't u remeber the innings mentioned in the article...sachin was selfishness exemplified. He wanted to avoid octroi on the free ferrari...he was greed exemplified. And with the number of times he is getting his stumps broken....he's a lame duck personified !
Nobody races an unfit & old horse just coz it ran well in its prime.
the article is simply too goood. u put it down straight and simple. tendulkar how big a man he may be, still has failed. And except fort he Sharjah cup, long long long ago, he has never come to india's rescue in situations needed most. No doubt, he has all the personal records, but what use are they, when thay cant win matches. But again, nothing is going to change, the sponspers will see to it that their interests are saved. The likes of Tendulkar, Sehwag, will continue to remain.Lots of prospects, who could perform better....losing their career even before it kicks off.
