I am not a huge fan of Dhoni. But then, I like his attitude in backing youngsters ahead of some cowards. Look at Murli Vijay or Pujara. Both score very high runs and win the test against Australia- the next test both are dropped? Why? Why??? Why can't Gambhir or Sachin take rest and these youngsters to have some momentum. Look at the last series against NZ in India- none of the big wigs were 'injured'. If the World Cup gets tough (unlikely) but if, then you will see some drop outs. Again, in a matter of few days, once the IPL-4 begins, no one will be injured. These big stars get about Rs. 2 lakhs each for each ball faced in IPL-4. After all, who gets paid so much more than Rs. 2 lakhs for each ball faced against some minnow useless bowler in a flat pitch?

Absolutely True. Now, people can blame Murli Vijay even more- poor guy. he will be selected only when the conditions are tough. same for Pujara. Why can't they be selcted against Bangladesh or against NZ in india?

They are making fun of cricket brother. When Veeru, gauti and sachin were not 100% fit than why were they in squad ???? World cup is on our head and they are making fun

Yeh One thing is certain that Because of IPL these old guys stretch them selves so much even with injury that they miss lot of games for national team. (As sachin payed even with injury during last IPL & many such player do)
We need to learn not to miss Sachin.He is not going to be there forever.We desperately need to find some good batsman who can fill his shoes, if not 100% but at least 60%.And people who enjoy bashing cricketers remember that its a team game and not badminton/tennis singles.

Lolers.. for all people who are saying he is playing for records and selfish... lemme tell you some basics of cricket first. cricket is a team game. A team should bowl well, bat well, field well to win a series .A batsman can win one, two or few matches in a series but not all the matches for the obvious reasons.
If he is playing for records, howcome he was the man of the series in 2003 world cup.His average in world cup is 58 . WHAT RECORD HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO ESTABLISH SINCE 3 WORLD CUPS?? ANSWER IS WORLD CUP TO INDIA. he wants to bring world cup to India and u people still blame him.
you never blame the remaining 10 members who dont contribute.

it is god ways of protecting him... hopefully now he wont be fit to play first few matches of wc... which young india team under great captain is going to lose... no one would be able to blame sachin then... or maybe they will blame that on him also... that india lost coz sachin did not play... thats the magic of sachin... he plays people are not happy... he does not play people are not happy...
Any player(even great), if he contributes atleast 20% of his total matches then that is great contribution so a player can make news mostly around 20 to 25% of time he is playing But sachin case is special, his remaining 75 to 80% he makes news because of so called critics or haters So now think who are benefitting sachin most fans or critics Media needs news good or bad and sachin always makes news so he is getting lot of media coverage

i think God of Cricket would never have such an injury before such a big event so that he has to miss the whole tournament.
