I totally agree with Norman, only jingoistic indians (though am an indian) will blindly support sachin. Sachin has never performed under pressure, i mean deliver the intended results, scoring a century doesnt matter, if youre required to be there to take the team past the winning post, sorry team india is banking on wrong person. Kapil Dev was a match winner and i see none in present day cricket. Media hype is too much for Sachin and he better quits gracefully. Lara is a great player alongside arrogant Ponting. Gavaskar was a class player as he was the only player to tore apart the famed and feared WI fast bowling and scored a 13 centuries against the best team then.Sachin hasnt done anything like that.
