Do we watch only World Cup matches? World cup isnt everything for cricket .. It is just an important tournament .. and as u wud know Sachin alone cant win u the world cup u need a few consistent performers ...
He has been playing well in all world cups especially the 2003 and the 1996 world cup .. In 2003 we were just a whisker away .. but bowlers like Zaheer Khan gave away the advantage ... and the match ...
World Cup is almost 4 years away .. why are you worrying about that and wanting to drop a great player like Sachin ... The matches over the next two-three years are also important ..
Stop worrying about Sachin and worry about the other players in the side ... Sachin is a certainty at least for a year or two ...unless something goes drastically wrong with his form/fitness.
When u worry about the other players and get them performing well .. the Indian side will automatically become a good team .. and Sachin can have a graceful exit too !
The dropping of dravid has cleary shown that a mumbai lobby exists. Agrakar who has got so many chanes inspite of not performing proves it. Tendulkar has never been dropped inspite playing badly in so mnay matches. Dravid has been a selfless player and his dropping is a sad moment in Indian cricket . --------hot world cup . com
when dhoni was announced a s captain--u madea funny statement" the indian team is in safe hands" what audacity--why dont you tell the whole world that along with idiotic vengsarkar you want captaincy at a later stage and cement your place permanently--your highness wants only to open and bat in no other position--and you call yourself a team man--what a joke!!

Hve seen the interview given by sachin to NDTV, he did not say when the made dhoni as a cpatain , he said only after winning the t20 world cup, be sure before what your publishing, ok
Hei tendullkkar, You do everything else except MAKING INDIA WIN. You might have done long back, but we can't keep yawning with those thoughts and get fitting replies from our rivals. Youve got enough earnings, let somebody continue do do so.

If Tendulkar was not in the side, India would not have even reached the finals of WC2003!!It was him, who took India to the finals of the championship. Rest of the team could have atleast won that one match for India, which they did not!! Its the same with other world cups also, too.Remember 1999? He missed one match coz of his father's demise and India did not even qualify for super 6. 1996 again it was him who took us to the semis and was the only one who played like one should in that semis against the Lankans.

Matches and series Tendulkar have won for Idia recently -
1. vs Bangldesh (Test series) - Won by India - Highest scorer in the series - Tendulkar; MOS - Sachin Tendulkar.
2. vs South Africa (ODI series) - Won by India - Highest scorer in the series - Tendulkar; MOS - Sachin Tendulkar.
3. vs England (Test series) - Won by India - 2nd Test won by India - Tendulkar's 1st innings score = 91.
4. vs England (ODI series) - Lost by India - 2nd match won by India - Tendulkar's score = 99; 5th match won by India, Tendulkar's score = 71; 6th match won by India - Tendulkar's score = 94; 6th match - Tendulkar victim of wrong decision, out for 30. ALMOST WON THE SERIES FOR INDIA EXCEPT FOR THE BAD DECISION AGAINST HIM IN THE LAST DECIDING MATCH. HIGHEST SCORER FOR INDIA AND SERIES AVERAGE = 53.4
5. vs Australia (lost) - Highest scorer for India - Tendulkar. SERIES LOST BY INDIA 2/4, BUT IT WAS EXPECTED SINCE IT WAS AGAINST AUSTRALIA. AT LEAST IT WASEN'T A WHITE-WASH.
This is Tendulkar's list of matches and series recently won for India.
Sachin has been overrated so much as if his average is 60 and above. Ponting will break sachins record very soon. Ponting is a great batsman he plays so well under pressure and in the world cup he destroyed zaheer khan. Dravid has been a better player for India in tests than sachin but in India no other player gets the credit its only SACHIN.

Imran can u show atleast one player who's avg is greter then the sachin Take considertation of 100 games not one or two ok. you know ponting avg is less than the sachin . how can u compare man. his side all of them are palying well he don't have any pressure. if ponting pays for india his avg will be lessthan 20. so he will be dropped immedialty after some matches

I don%u2019t have any problem with sachin I feel dropping dravid was not right. Even sachin was in bad form so many times nobody dropped him. Dravid has been the best test batsman for India but these Mumbai guys have dropped him. I think there is something going in internally that%u2019s why dravid gave up his captaincy and also could not perform in the recent series . It looks like a big plan by the mumbai looby against dravid.

Imran,
Its not the mumbai lobby that dropped Dravid .. its his opposition to the interfering nature of Administrators in general ...
Vengsarkar, Niranjan Shah et all .. they want to take decisions for the team on a day to day basis which is not right ..
Naming it as mumbai lobby is wrong .. because u pull in regional sentiments .. Lets not think regional .. lets think national..
I too am not in favor of Dravid being dropped .. He is a classy player and we need him in ODI's as well as Tests .. There are no replacements as yet for the Big Three ..
Yuvraj, Dhoni etc.. have to be more consistent too ..
