What makes you so mean in your articles about Tendulkar, Mr. Lavakare? I have seen you write this way about him lot of times. Rediff should allow such cheap writings to be published. All you r articles pour out such uncultured aspersions. Tendulkar never said he preferred to open regarding his recent middle order slot. May be you are a 'friend' of Tendulkar and he told you so. Should I believe that? John Wright has mentioned about that Multan declaration in his book. Go read that. It does not criticize Tendulkar a bit like you would imagine. Tendulka r gave a frank opinion in the press meet that day fresh from that declaration moments ago. He said 200 in Pakistan has been his childhood dream and that things were going the way they discussed in the dressing room until the declaration came as a surprise. It is understandable. Except that morons who are hunting for Tendulkar's head at the first possible chance felt very happy when the news broke out. A batsman can be given the chance to go for his 100 or 200 quickly with clear message. Remember Ganguly gave Dravid the same chance when Dravid was nearing his 100 at Sydney in the last test match when we toured Aus. He declared ultimately as Dravid was hurt and needed medical attention. Can we blame Dravid here for going for that century? or can we blame Ganguly just because I am a Ganguly basher. These are small things getting blown out of proportion. Relax....

Boss, dont support Sachin blindly. He should retire. if you read all comments, majority are against to Tendulkar. I was hard-core fan of Sachin, but he failed again at crucial times. So, its best time provide opportunity to youngsters. Please dont support blindly.

Mr Ramesh not all Bengalis will blindly support Saurav or not all Maharastrians will blindly support Sachin.
There are a lot of people who objectively think about improving indian cricket all over India. Please do not judge based on few bad apples.

Mr. Bandarji, if you do not want to support Dada - fine with all (you are doing good karma). For Sachin is considered, utter your devine knowledge in your bedroom and not on open blog-rooms.
Stop Kissing Sachin and Ganguly. You do not care about our Indian team,even if India looses all matches people like you will be fine as long as Stupid senior players are there in the team.
You seriously need to grow up, or stop blogging from the Jail Cell.

I agree with GoodIndian, Other day in the highly PRO Sachin (CNN IBN), I saw an Emotional young lady who talked about how Sachin had served Indian cricket for 17 years. The reality is, he has been well rewarded (over and above for his services)with all the CRORES.
Maharastrians should not support Sachin, and Bengalis should not support Ganguly. These guys have stayed past their EXPIRY date, so, since they will not go on their own, they should be thrown out of our ODI team, beleive me, a younger team cannot do worst than the current team.
I really liked articles by Lavakare, Imran Khan, Kiran More and Mangrekar. It is amazing how people of india still say, if one our sons does not do well in exams do we throw them out (one of Pawar's example). Mr Pawar is I did not do well in my studies my parents made sure that I did well for which I am thankful today, but those days I used to crib (just like Sachin is doing to Greg Chappell). We indians should develop the ability to analyze problems and not react PURELY based on our impulse.
Please show your regionalism towards our great country, instead of showing it to a particular player.
