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?

If you make a case by case analysis Sachin's average is still 56 and hasn't dropped like SG's whose average for 05 was in the 24s! I dont he's a liablity to the team like SG yet. But the man is losing his magic form/instincts – has made only 6-7 test hundreds in the last 5 years, so it's time for him to have a serious introspection about his game but he hasn't done anything to be Gangulied.
IF (and that's a big if) there's a flaw in Sachin's batting right now, he's got the technique (and the right technical soundboard in Dravid) to work within himself, and get back to form. That's where Sachin scores over most of the other talented players like Laxman and Ganguly who rely purely on God-given gift of sheer timing and fluency. Once that went, it was gonna be really difficult for them to work their way back.
But in Sachin's case.. I guess it's all in the head. Especially in this test, with jus 5 batsman, he must have thot he had the responsibilty to anchor the innings and stuff like that and curbed his own natural game. He's not so bad as yet to even consider dropping him. If jus' his presence in the team has such a motivating effect, he's too good an asset to be spoken of like this.
Sachin shoud stay :)
