Well Arvind seems to have got it very right. His views are spot on but many would not like to take sides due to personal biases. For Tendulkar.....enough is enough!

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.
Can you name others who gave pathetic perfomance in the team! Indeed Tendulkar is on TOP. It is true that We indians overreact and pass comments so early, but the way he bold out against srilanka raises several questions on his match winning ability now. If he made captain of India in place of Dravid. what is the critaria. Otherwise he became nonplaying captain as in Tennis Ha Ha Ha!
Bengal people support Ganguly even he failed miserably in this world cup. He and his supporters misunderstood that the world cup is of limited overs not that of test. They are supporters of the person, Ganguly (Bengali) and not of cricket(India).

he is not criticising, he is telling the facts...y don't u call kapil to play the matches coz he has won world cup...this way team can't win and hence the result. chappel was trying to make him flexible, and play for the country, play good cricket and not only an opener so that once in a while, sachin to score 100 to fix his position n pile-up his records. he wanted him to feel like any other good cricketer, who can play cricket and win matches. he just wanted to make him a versatile, which he is indeed capable of.
