Its a bad move to opt out of 20-20 world cricket .they would have payed and show to world that they are still capable of playing attacking cricket which they have done in their first 150 matches.
Anirudha Srikkanth is none other than son of bashing opener "Krishnamachari Srikkanth".
See below the statistics of Anirudha Srikanth so far
Matches Played : 8 Innings : 14 Not out : 0 Total Runs : 286 Highest : 86 Average : 20.42 Fifites : 2
Selectors...r u not able to find a better guy than the above guy in Tamilnadu or in any other states
I think Selectors are having a idea "As father plays well , His son also plays well"...
I think cricket selection has fallen into the scrap "Dirty Politics"
Moreover the retired crickers are influencing the selectors to give opportunity for their sons...
Selectors ----> Please Please select & give opportunity to the youngsters who has real talent...encourage them...Don't play politics in selection of the probables

Till date people like you were after the senior trio and wanted them to retire. Now when the seniors have opted out of a tournament, you are accusing them of being selfish and call them great politicians. They have opted out because they know that 20-20 is not for those above 30. Why do you people attribute wrong motives for what the seniors have done with good ntentions? May be you are disappointed because you have lost the opportunity to criticise the seniors and will not have much to write about as rediff message board contains mostly criticisms about these three players. Don't compare 20-20 tournament to regular WC.We don't know how popular this 20-20 will be.

You are a creep. You are the kind of people who causes India to take one step back instead of one step ahead. Who cares what you think about the trio??? Nobody gives a damn ...
Everything sachin does now is termed as selfish. When sachin scores - he is selfish.. When sachin decides play - he is termed selfish. when sachin decide not to play - he is selfish again . and for the un-selfish act of batting failure , same ppl wants him out of the team!!
Going by these opinions, this should be the process for MOM, at the end of the match march referee pics the most selfish player of the day and that how sachin got the most MOM than all other players..

Friend all these criticism is due to the fact we lost WC. Had we reached to Semis or Finals nobody would have uttered any word..
This discussion will be on till we win a major series/tournament comfortably.
So till then listen to all this... This shows how all are hurt by WC loss and some have yet to come to terms of reality we lost out of WC miserably...
the indian cricket team is very lazy for play cricket because they are very old cricketers and the silecters dont choose yuth players like raina kaif irfan and pujara
its indeed a very good move taken by the trio keepin their body in mind..20-20-game require more physical fitness as itwill b more hectic for these trio to handle and it also gud opportunity to young players to show case their talents and make us believe that even without the great trio we can perform very well at highest competition level... so i think now we shud encourge our young player and appreciate the move taken by our seniors..hope they can retain their fitness to the much challengin australin tour in india followed by tour of pakistan...im sure no one over here wants india to perform badly againstthe aussies at home...so gud decision sachin.dravid and sourav..
sachin, dravid or ganguly are good batsman but not for this version of cricket. they are safe players, they want their repo to be clean, unhurt. let youngsters enjoy fast cricket.

Are you crazy or what??? Sachin/Sourav/Dravid has played World's fastest bowlers and have scored so many runs. They have brought so much laurels to India and you say they are safe players. You are the biggest DHAKKAN I have seen in my entire life.

Doston, its past glory we need to play fast bowlers even for next decade so some shud be a standby.. kaise if all these hold up their places.
Exit of Sidhu/W V RAman/ Vikram rathore opened doors for sehwag.
exit of sehwag gave door for Karthik/Uthhapa.(provided they need to excel)
It is a wise decision as considering age of senior players and in order to avoid any injuries in such a not so establish game of cricket to give them rest.
