What's so great about Sachin?

Hi
to all you Sachin's devotee Brigade
Don't you think it's time to re-evaluate your "GOD"
You have showered so many flowers on him that for a change a few brickbats will be in order
You treat every single run scored by him as a boundry
EVery boundry as a match winning stroke
(May be because he has not hit many match winning strokes)
He gave up captaicy when he was given a chance
(this was treated as "everyone cannot be a great captain")
He picks and chooses matches he will play
(this was treated as "you cannot be fit all the time")
Well,He gets away with everything that any other player will be hanged for
2003 WOrld Cup Final-FLOP SHOW
2007 World cup -Even bigger flop show
2011 World Cup Final-Flop SHow on home ground
He was touted as a BIG STAGE PLAYER
He seems to fail on all BIG -STAGE occasions
He is in my opinion abetter than avarage player with a long inning of 23 years
so his figures look imposing
I need not talk about BIG Occasions in test cricket when he could not quite finish it off
But most of the journalists are afraid of criticizing him
His refusal to retire is basically to take figures to such a level that nobody can overtake him
(but still he likes to pretend that He does not play for records)
Come ON SACHIN-SACH KA SAMANA KARO
You are on the downslide
By prolonging the retirement -you are denying opportunity to a yougster
May be you will play one or two big Innings in ten matches
But in the meanwhile you ened up botching 9 matches for India
ARe you so ensconced in self-aggrandisement then Wake up to SACH(truth)
Follow the examples of Kapil Deo,Sunil Gavaskar,Anil Kumble and so many othe rreal GREATS
AFter all they were born GREATS
You have GREATNESS THRUST UPON YOU
Let us not remember you as a player holding a record of having delayed his retirement for the longest time
