Beware Sachin!

Bring on those cricketing gurus now!! Bring on those pundits with a long term vision for Indian cricket! Forget those adjectives such as great, class player, legend, master when it comes to judging people. Forget those huge career stats and those number of tons scored in the past! Get the same yardstick which was used for Sourav and prove that it is the same for everybody and get the credibility look more credible! Well, if Sachin plays the way he is playing in tests for quite sometime , I guess he'd be chopped from the test squad (long due) and then drafted in just for one more test later and then again dropped with the selectors coming in public and say that Sachin doesn't have a place in the current squad and then people can forget about Sachin and his achievements slowly and get on with the game. If the game can live with that in Sourav's case, I am sure it can do without Sachin too. Does Chappell, More & co. has the guts to do this and prove that the scale is the same for everybody? After all, it is the long term vision for Indian cricket that counts, right!?. Looks like the Chappell vision focusses more on the ODI squad with WC 2007 being the dream in which case, Sachin still merits a place in the ODI squad where he seems to be a different player altogether. But test cricket...well, if Sourav has a Bengal team to play for, I am sure Sachin will find a place in Mumbai team to prove his worth and get back to the squad again.

If a Wankhede crowd can boo their own cricketing legend, I guess it is time for Sachin to do some serious thinking.

Where is the real Sachin?
