big joke that chika says he started looking into future. it seems he is going back.if he looks into future tendulkar should be automatic choice for being dropped similar to what aussies did to ricky.aussies can say that they are looking into future. not indians. we go by reputation,.crazy things and not on field performance.

I wonder what srikant means slightly to the future and not all theway as has been the case with the Aussies.
Mr Srikant, you may have taken money to play oldies like, Sachin, Sehwag, Zaheer. Thus we do not expect you to be bold enough to drop them. When we have a selection team, and BCCI management who work in the interest of Nation, we shall get a good team. And this seems impossible atleast until mr Sachin age crosses 60 and still playing for india
In any other country, after your team has been whitewashed in two consecutive series, the selectors, the board officials, the non-performing players would have left ON THEIR OWN. Here Srikanth still has the nerve to say 'We are looking into the future'. Where there is no accountability or merit, that sport or society is doomed. Please step aside, Mr Srikanth because the future does not have room for you.
This idiot srikkant is himself a big joker, he along with Dhoni is royally screwing up Indian Cricket. I think this guy gets some cut money from dhoni as because he seems to be doing just that which dhoni wants , but he must understand that Dhoni's lucky days are over & he himself should retire.
100th hundred is nothing more than a marketing thing. Many companies using Sachin as brand ambassador will make a killing using his 100th ton. This pressure shows on Sachin and probably the same pressure is on the selectors to include him despite performing no better than Viru in Australia.
Other than the marketing/business value, 100th ton is of no consequence. If combining stats from various formats were allowed and glorified, Murali and Warnie would have celebrated 1000 international wickets long back.
