That charm, those looks have gone from Little Master. He looks utterly confused and sad while coming to bat ! Do we require such a person in the team ? Heavens are not going to fall if he announces his retirement and quits the game for the sake of future of Indian Cricket !!!
Look at Australians ! When they came to field yesterday, they were charging like a bunch of lions released from Cage, whereas our Little Master who was playing 400th ODI, was adjusting the grip of his bat before the pavillion and came to bat even without smiling ! He with his beard was looking like pathetic and dejected person !!!

Please have some respect for the dead. Unfortunately Raman Lamba is no more. He died from a cricket accident.

Whcih indian has a charm when he comes to play??? Infact show me any cricketer who comes out of the pavillion smiling!!! They are playing cricket and not doing any photo session! Sachin's charm comes out of this BAT. Look at his batting average after WC and then talk. In this ODI series against aussies, it is only becos of sachin, India has managed to put some run on the board. Look at the 3rd ODI, we were 13/3 and youngsters like Ghambhir, Uttappa, pathan and Rohit contributed only 10 runs!!!, similarly in last ODI, what was the contribution from Ganguly, dravid, dhoni, uttapa and yuvraj???? From your message it seems you have some personal grunch with sachin. How pathetic!!!

Raman, you said it rightly - it was really a pathetic and dejected look. where was his muskand - it was missing altogether. come on sachin, enough is enough, 400 is a good number - declare your retirement, sooner the better, for you as well as indian cricket. as appeared in news paper, you are now contemplating to buy an old bangalow at Bandra at a price of over 40 crores (only white part) - go and buy it - construct a hotel / resturant and manage the business. you have earned a lot from the cricket and now it is a pay back time. do something for the society -

Thats' the bad part he will play till one day some fast bowler knocks him out for good on the pitch. The Australia series will pretty much nail the little elf for good.

It doesnot matter whatever you ay. He is still capable to play for minimum 4 more years and that to with consistency! If you remove sachin's contribution from the current series against Aussies, today aussies would be leading and winning the series 3-0. How confident do other players look when they come to play?? Look at yuvraj, dhoni, ganguly and all the other players from our team, everyone's face is flushed and short of confidence against aussies. Show me a single young player who has opened with sachin and has survived for 10 overs against aussies. Gambhir, even is not able to open his account and so is uttappa. Atleast sachin manages to hold one end, when other end is crimpling down!!!. Last match what was the confidence level of yuvraj, Dhoni, dravid, ganguly and uttapa??? Itwas becos of sachin we managed to score above 100 runs. Remove his 47 from the total of 149, we would have scored barely 90 runs!!!

what i say will bcom true. note it. when it happens, ull know my prediction is correct.
It was quite unnerving to see below the posting of salim mansuri, The selection of the team should be on the criteria of merit no region/religion mixed.We want TEAM INDIA win not any community selection. I hope if jaffer gets a chance as told above then he should bat at his best or give chance to another proving youngster.
