Why Tendulkar and Sehwag are there in the team?
by on Mar 25, 2007 10:57 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Can anybody explain to me please why Tendulkar and Sehwag are being persisted with? In last 2-3 years Tendulkar has hardly done anything against quality teams in 1-day form of the game abroad. Yet he is our god. Nobody has the courage to criticise him, let alone drop him from the team. With Sharad Power at the helm, he can only prosper further from here. Now he is being touted as the next captain. What a shame? Had it been Australia, he would have been out of the team 3 years ago. But alas, it is India. So, he will continue to fail. We will continue to praise him for his past records. What a message we are giving to young buddy cricketers? Opportunities are hard to come by for young guns as the slots are occupied by non performing over paid over hyped stars of our team. That day is not far when we will lost consistently against Bangladesh. Cricket in India is soon going to be in the same state as Indian hockey is today.
