The Indian superstar cricketers have the backing of major brands who have invested crores in them for advertisements. It is not easy to drop them, even if they are lax in their performance.
Again half cooked info...... Sachin hasn't played a test match since March 2006 ..... so let us see what happens in ODI ..... Sahin has 389 runs from 11 matches avg. 38.90 and Ponting has 201 runs from 9 matches avg. 22.33 !!!!!! & the guy is still the captain of Australian team while you want Sachin to leave the Indian team !!!!!! get a life
Sachin would have already made all the millions not only for himself but also for his great grand children. It doesn't really matter to us whether he is in the playing 11 or not. But once he is there, he must do justice to his selection. Your arguement that others in the team have not contributed is totally flawed. The others (like Kaif, Laxman etc.) will also start saying "Our great Sachin himself could not perform, then why blame us?" It thus becomes a vicious circle. Each team member must be compared to some other for getting better performance and not for non-performance. May be we don't believe that if the team wins we win, but only in individuals. Scoring 2 runs off 40 balls is not just a slow start, but a killing start in an ODI.

CENTURION: The Indian cricketers have a new problem now after being at the receiving end of crowd abuse during the fifth and final one-day international yesterday.
A team source said the players were upset that they were abused by fellow Indians, who were present in Durban and Cape Town also.
Yesterday, SA bowler Andre Nel exchanged words with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and an intruder barged into the dressing room.
Skipper Rahul Dravid, who is out with a broken thumb, was ridiculed: “Why are you here when you are injured? Go home.” Another chant was: “We will have to face ridicule now that you guys have lost all the matches. You are useless.”
The cricketers were abused in Hindi and Gujarati from the first half of the match when the team was batting. Obscene words in Hindi and the ‘F’ word were put to great use.

Sachin's millions are his bussiness but it matters to a lot of people that he stays in the indian team ..... Sehwag has 18 runs from 3 matches, Kaif has 10 from 3 & VVS a duck ....... If Sachin made 93 in this series they could not even make 1/5 of that ...... if they had made at least half what Sachin made it would have been a different story.... Removing Sachin will not solve anything ..... There are a lot of non performers in the squad .... remove them first .....

Didn't people say same to Saurav - and was kicked out. Yes, he is back and what we read is if right than he is more hungry.
If it could be true for Saurav - why not Sachin? No Doubt he is great - but I doubt when he says I Love to play for India & Team (not for Money). Remember his pledge for Waiver on his Ferrari ... And he defended that. So much for "Love for India".

2 in 40 is killing in any form of Cricket - not just ODI. He really needs to do some Assessment on his Cricket. Its painful watching him strugle like this. He definitely need his trademark big inning against Kenya/Zimbabwe in India to come back to form.

Even when this coach took over people were aware that he had a tough job ahead. In a clash of interests Team Vs Superstars the coach may have to give in, considering the clout these players enjoy. Chappell was lucky in the Saurav episode but will not be always.
