hey all of you guys who are criticising sachin why don't you speak about saurav ganguly. against bangladesh he has scored 65 in 130 balls . he is playing for himself to secure his place in the team. spare sachin now.
Yes..every one in Indian team played for thier own good. I feel so good when I see team like sriLanka,NZL ,Aus,bangla or even Ireland . They show how to play like a team. Indian team is full of politics. Sachine should have kept quiet when media is full of WC loss. score in 20-20 match is useless now after WC exit.

Atleast he scored runs instead of getting out giving an easy catch to the wicket keeper

After having seen off the opening bowlers, Saurav should have played better than his 65 of 130 balls against Bangladesh regardless of loss of wickets at the other end. Most of the Bangladesh spinners were left handers and Saurav was ideally placed at least to place the ball in the gaps and run singles and twos. There can be no justification for the failure of the other batsmen, namely Sehwag, Uthappa, Dravid and Tendulkar, but at the same time, Saurav had the opportunity to rescue the innings by playing a bit faster which was possible without taking risks. But he chose to go into the shell. The cheap dismissal of rest of the Indian batsmen came handy for him to justify his slow innings. His reluctance to try to play a few more strokes can be due to either of the following reasons -
a) Selfishness b) Lack of confidence
Ofcourse a lot of blame for the Bangladesh loss still goes to the other batsmen but Saurav must also accept his share of the blame.

the bangladeshi bowlers are not all that bad. just ask the south africans. It is easy to say that this guy should have done this and should have done that. After sachin and tendulkar got out he had no option but to try and keep wickets intact. Many of you critics are very arrogant, they simply cannot believe that the other team can play better on a given day!!
