There was a "Time" whoever Enters "Team India" comes with lot of "Praise" for "Sachin"!!! Times are "Changing" & now... "Sachin" no more "Commands" that "Respect"!!! But "Kohli" has "Learned" how to keep "Media" busy....When priyanka chopra asks for gimmick!!!!!! All the "Team members" felt that "Sachin" will "Retire" after "WC11"...so they said we want to give it as a "Gift" to 'Sachin"...but "Sachin" didnt "Retire"!!!! "Corporate BCCI" felt that after "Asia Cup" sachin will "Retire" after getting 100....but still "Sachin" didnt "Retire"!!!!! So Every "Youngster" wants him to "Leave" becoz for them "sachin" is "Blocking" 1 "Place" in the "Team"!!! So continue with "Fake" praises.....but never praise "Team India"!!!!!!

Ganguly was a strict captain even than Dhoni...but sourave often faile0d to control his emotions which is important for any captain in any sport.
BCCI can easily tell South Indians to retire and made them to retire.Anil Kumble and Rahul Retired this way and next player will be Laxzman. What about Sachin? Why BCCI cannot ask him to retire. Is BCCI scared of any big political name or Big business man who are influencing for Sachin to play till he retires on his OWN. That mean Selectors,Captain and team members are helpless even INDIA loose series, cups for individual interest before victory for INDIA ?
even the great rodes is saying that his fingers are getting hurt. what e is not saying that now he has become old , his reflexes have become slower which is hurting his technique which in turn is hurting his fingers.

You know more than Rhodes. ;-) Rhodes also accused Kohli of being on the selfish path if you want to read between his lines..:-)

If a cricketer has to retire after dropping a single catch, then all present cricketers should have been retired long back. Have sense before commenting.

Mr Dinesh, You are saying like he was the first one in team to drop catch or no youngster has ever dropped a catch. And getting hit by a bowler once doesnt say anything about the capability of batsman. In early 2000 Brian lara was also hit on his helmet by Shoaib does that mean he should have retired at that time??? If you are posting something then please have some sense.
Captains are great who are leading the team for success.Sachin is like a head clerk who maintained all records. So Sunil Gavaskar,Kapil Dev,Saurav Ganguly,Anil Kumble,Dhoni are great compared to Sachin. Because Captain leads for INDIAN team victory and holds cups for INDIA.Whereas Sachin hold records for his individual image.

Similar things were said about Gavaskar (selfish, cuttle-fish) etc till he retired. After we started to suffer in the absence of a good opener for a decade or more (how many wannabes we have seen?) we realized Gavaskar's greatness.. I fear the same will happen to when the fab four retire!

Where are the Fab 4? Two are gone and two in twilight. So, until then only Fab 2 :( But remember Ganguly's replacement is finally found - Kohli. Dravid's replacement would be found within a year. Same goes for Sachin and VVS. We have more talent in domestic cricket now than in the past. All we need is to be patient and give the young players a longer rope rather than judge and kill their confidence after one match or series. Kohli struggled in WI tests but has come into his own in Australia. Pujara, Sharma, Badrinath, Rahane, etc. can take places.
