I am ashamed to be a Mumbaikar. The entire cricketing power vests in Maharashtra with Pawar, Vengsarkar etc., which is why human baggage like Sachin still exists in the cricket team. Cant he visibly see how players like Inzamam, Warne, McGrath announced retirements. Does he not have any self-esteem. Now he wants to become the captain and if that happens thats perfect recipe for 2011 worldcup disaster. And thats ample opportunity for him not to score runs and he'll be forgiven for the fact that he's the captain.
Ofcourse he'll take to task all the Bangladesh bowlers in the upcoming series and all sachin fans would rejoice. All through his life he's played for his selfishness and his personal records. Cant he learn lessons from ppl like Ponting, Lara, Hussey etc.,

To learn lessons from the legends whom u have mentioned one needs 2b selfless. Sachin as u rightly said plays only for personal records just like how Gavaskar did. I think all those people ending with kar's Gavas(kar), Tendul(kar), Vengsar(kar), Agar(kar) only do that and to expect them to resign on their own is like asking for moon. The only solution is he should be thrown out.

Absolutely Right. Great men leave the field when people are still asking Why, rather than Why Not?
