sachin became so called great due to the presence of "uncles"in the selection commitee.
sandeep patil was quick to drop sehwag who at least scored a match winning ton against england . he did not drop sachin who except scoring 81 ,against lower qulaity bowling as compared to eng , did nothing of note.
even a newcomer like hendriques scored a magnificent 81 against better spinners on a turning track.
thank god , dhoni disagreed with him. if sachin was such a great strategist , he would not have had dismal record of captaincy. he was the worst captain india ever had.

You have hit the nail on the head.It's the truth.He was the worst captain we ever had on cricket field - no sense of strategy.. no samajh of game's finer aspects ...
If sachin does not score big hundred in final test, there will be no more reasons from anyone in the defense of his place in the team. 90% of the times he never delivers when top order delivers. And most of the times he goes into shell unnecessarily to hand over his wicket cheaply like the way he got out to Smith.
Its high time he and everyone realizes that unless he scores big hundreds, he cannot deserve a place considering the comparable good performances by youngsters and considering sangakkara and kallis are on the verge of breaking his Test batting records with better average and hundreds. And he wont be regarded as best compared to them. Already he has been receiving bad reviews compared to Lara

Whenever MSD praises someone, its like writing epitaph. he is singing their last days. this was the case with Rahul, VVS, Sehwag, GG and harbajan. they are all out of the team now.

yes , MSD has a better record as a batsman.has won india many games with individual brilliance. Tendya has cost us the matches for his selfish objectives.
he is better than M B & A G as wk
if he was handed over the captaincy when he was 21 he would have had a better captaincy record than graem smith. if he continues to captain as long as steve waugh , he will appear better than waugh as captain.

RSS ,
he will better tendya's record even now if he is allowed to play as long as he wishes. he would have got a better record than tendya if he was inducted at 16 .
