Height of coterie creation. may be anticipation of some contract. Tendy is pretty ordinary cricketer who thrives on perception mgmt rather than crucial scoring ever.
Rantunga said sachin as Mumbai kar.....Rediff is 100 % indian website......India had started Test Cricket 60 yrs before sachin's debut in test cricket.....no one can stop test cricket...
Test cricket existed before his arrival and will continue to exist. Threat to test cricket is not from Sachin's absence but from poor pitches and poor quality of teams....
Sachin has 2 "pets" who are commentators,whose job is to take his name with praises-like Sachin giving tips to bowlers Ishant/Harbhajan;or when Sachin runs around and fields, remarks such as"see his commitment"; but when he miss fields and the ball goes for 4, then it is said that he got a bad bounce, but this changes in case of Sehwag and Gambhir to lack of commitment.Infact test cricket in India will be better with his retirement as players will play for the team, and there will be unity, no undue interference in team selection, preference of players from a certain group etc.
