Sachin may have great stats and occasionally he might have won you matches (He plays for his records and sometimes it may eventually look like won matches for India), but his attitude clearly indicates that he is selfish and uses this cricket and Indian team for his sadistic pleasures and for making money.
Dravid kept wickets in ODI and opened in test-matches for the sake of team, can you show one instance where Sachin did such thing for team's interest rather then his personal wishes?
Also he wants rest of the team-members to always praise him and live in his shadows. He wants the team to follow his rules, even though he has been proved as a bad-captain. He has ruined Indian-Cricket to some extent and he definitely made it an individual-game rather than team-game. Now things are changing, I'm sure now Cricket and even other Sports in India will prevail and politics will stop.
It hurts me a lot when people like Pujara and Utthappa has to sit out for the sake of this selfish-creature
All who support Dhoni, see his attitude. He is playing mind game with now Sachin. Sachin joined the Team and fail to score in his first ODI. Dhoni if the current inform players continue its hard for England to win. If Team India wins, no budy talks much about failure of Sachin. But if India loose, the whole blaim comes on Sachin only. It creats extra pressure on Sachin. This is plan of Mr. Dhoni to remove Sachin because only he is able to control him wheather its on the field or in add world. Dhoni is experts in " Ek tir se Do Sikar" . Beware Mr. Sachin -- Am not Sachin's fan but still respect him.

Many captains except Azharuddin had utilize Sachin abilities, others had played politics against him as he is the master batsman. Once in a centuries a legend will born and that is Sachin like Amitabh in cinefield. During bad days of Amitabh also many critics were made against him, same phase of Sachin now. I am sure he will (& he is) come out with flying colors. This generation has not seen Sachin earlier & making comments against him like those persons who make father valueless when he is not earning money for family. Sachin is God gifted player world cricket not only to India.

Dhoni is playing against England. He has no reason, desire or need to play mind games with Sachin or anybody (selectors, excluded!). Your message only reveals your your devious mind.

Brainless Astrologer, try to see your own future, I can say God is playing mind game with you. "God may save you job, but will not save it".
Since there is lot of concern from rest of the team-members and also the fans that Mr. Sachin has to somehow be a part of team, he is inspiration, motivation, blah blah... I suggest he can become the next coach for Indian Team, so that all these desires can be fulfilled. With this, he can also continue making a lot of money (which is his main motive). So, he should retire from cricket now and he should start planning/preparing for coach-job, and should be ready as soon as Kirsten finishes his job.
If he is allowed to play for even 6 months or 1 year, by the time, he would have done a lot of damage to upcoming talents.
He was such a flop in the last IPL T20, when everybody (including Dravid & Laxman) and even under-19 guys performed brilliantly.

hey, man...what do you know about cricket????? If one who knows cricket well, who never tell such a bad comment against the Master blaster. If he is aiming money ....sure he must be thge richest man in the world. Because in India cricket is a religion and Sachin is the world. If one who knows about the cricket well never says such words. So be cautios about the wordings. He still plays for the country and enjoy his cricket well, other than any other players..OKKKK......
Dhoni is real spirit in giving the credit to all his players, individually mentioning them. He is climbing one more step by giving chance to Reserve players who have not got a chance. This will also give India more players, to rely on, in the event of other players unable to play due to injuries etc. Very good decision and approach also by Indian cricket team.

If Dhoni sits out, who will captain team and more importantly, who will keep wickets??
Don't talk like a fool!! If you don't understand cricket, it is better to shut up!! What do you think?? We will be able to beat this England team without Yuvraj and Dhoni??

So you mean there is no player in India like Yuvraj and Dhooni although Dhooni never explained about sits out (he himself or Yuvra). So its good to get some new simmers or batsman to play for creating a buffer of player for big event.

If you do not agree with someone's comments, there is no need to call him a 'fool' or say 'shut up'. Can we be more decent to other people in rediff.

England players are not street players. They are international players. If we were in England we will be 1-3
