COUNTRY OF 130 MILLION-STILL FINDING REPLACEMENT FOR SACHIN:
by Srinivasan Renganathan on Feb 24, 2012 12:55 PM

To all youngisthans Justify these (Mongisthans) players contribution in the team.
1.Rohit Sharma.
2.Sewhag.
3.Zaheer Khan.
4.Praveen Kumar.
5.Raina.
6.Jadeja.
FYI, Gambhir in the last 2 years had played only 3 worthful innings. Virat Kohli is just a flash in the pan without any consistency. Irfan Pathan can never be used as a main bowler but only as a supporting 6th bowler. Ashwin , Rahul Sharma , Umesh & Vinay are the only new comers in the teams. Other fellows had minumum players 70-80 matches between them.
Then why blame Sachin alone. Fools who quote ponting as an example should realise that australians are having minimum 5 worthful players to replace ponting like Watson, Mitchell Marsh.. etc..
But with whom are you going to replace Sachin, with. Manoj Tiwary????? How many centuries did he hit. If the same Sewhag who scored 219 in ODI’s a few months back is struggling, what will a Tiwary, Rahace can do. If they should be rotated, let Greats like Rohit Sharma, Raina, Jadeja be replaced with & not with Sachin. Sachin is not playing well, but that dosent mean that others are playing wonderfully. Maximum Rahane will score 5 & Tiwari will score 8 in Australian conditions presently. So, it is useless to blame Sachin alone.
Afterall how much did Dhoni scored in the tests. If Dhoni, with his useless Helicopter shot can be in the team, anybody can be.
Its a irony about the state of Indian cricket than still a replacement for 39 year old cricketeer is not found Yet
