What Tendulkar Said?

After watching the CNN IBN video with Waqar and Srikanth, I am also wondering about the Indian media. Superb I should say, they quote too many people all the senior players and I am wondering that how many senior players were interviewed or for the same matter does India have that many senior players in ranks? I guess they were only 15 when they went to WI? Anyways, the half and hour debate was about discussing each and every line that Sachin said like "I have given my heart and soul for 17 years" well don't seem like because he played cricket for less than that and in the beginning he was just wreckless and was not giving his life and soul, slowly he matured as a player and understood the importance of being a team player. Anyways I don't understand even if it has been like 25 years or even 3 years how does it matter? I remember that one of the most committed player on the ground was Robin Singh and Ajay Jadeja. The former was given the assignment to coach Indian young side and for the later everyone knows what happened.

Nobody believed that Jadeja also gave his heart and soul to cricket, and we all trusted that he sold his heart and soul to match fixers. But yeah everybody believed that Kapil must have given his heart and soul as he was sobbing on television. The problem is we are hero worshippers. We keep the right to abuse and accuse our heroes to ourselves only. If somebody else does that, we will not forgive him. I guess that a lot many Hindus in India are not averse to the idea of eating beef but then we will make a fuss of a slaughterhouse in Bangladesh or Pakistan. We can have jokes about our gods but if an outsider does that, we become merciless. Anyways, I dont know why Tendulkar has to emotionally blackmail Indian audience, the fact is that you might have given everything to Indian cricket but you still didn't do enough. Anyways the debate is still open let's see where it goes from here.

I dont know whether it matters that what Chappel is saying or what Tendulkar is saying. One failed as a coach and one failed as a player. They both failed together, the board has to decide that whether both can be sacked twice or if anyone has to go, who they can do away with? The answer is simple isn't it? Then why the 30 minutes odd show and news headlines? Well the world is one big market, and you just have to sell the right stuff. Got the twist?
