I can't understand why people are giving so much thought about the opinion of a person who is using the anti-Indian cricketers sentiment for his personal favour. First of all, Mr. Ian Chappel has compared Test Cricketer Sachin with Test Cricketer Lara. His logic is completely false because he wants Sachin to retire from one-day cricket based on his test performance. And, test player Lara or test player Dravid was test player Kallis was always better than test player Sachin because Sachin was never a kind of player who would play 35 balls to open his inning. And the example, Ian highlited in his article from 2004 inning was an example of Sachin's determination as he was coming back to form after a string of innings of 8,7,55,1,0,DNB,1,37,0,44. He was struggling for runs and he came back determined with 241 N.O against Australia and in Australia. The inning was followed by 60 N.O and 194 N.O. And regarding Sachin as a One-day player; in last 25 inning Sachin averages 41.90 , with 2 centuries and 6 fifties, Where as The Great Lara has an average of 37.22 with no centuries and 4 fifties. YOU CAN'T BLAME AN INDIVIDUAL FOR THE TEAMS FAILURE. SACHIN WAS GREAT AND IS GREAT CRICKETER. IT IS JUST THAT OUR EXPECTATION HAS INCREASED AND THE TEAM HAS NOT BEEN GOOD ENOUGH. AN INDIVIDUAL CAN'T CARRY THE BURDEN OF 1O OTHER FAILURES. Thanks.
