Sachin's end can't be far away.
i am not sure how long i have been hearing that.
anyways, that day would arrive probably after the next world cup.
as for sehwag, he has not matured with so many years under his belt now. but he has the support from BCCI so he stays.
scoring 347 is not an easy job. but you have to do it if you allow the opposition to score 350.
also remember that when we were growing up, any score above 220-230 was good enough for one day international matches.
things have changed. 300 is no longer a safe score. 350 is now a rather safe score but of course achievable.
as for the indian cricket team in general... they are overcompensated. if their salaries and position in the team is linked to performance, i guess there would be some improvement.
almost all the players take their position for granted in the team. one good match and you are safe for at least 5.
the fun would be there when the match fees is cut for losses. especially losses like these when you lose a match which you should have won.
most of them of course make more from endorsements but if their position in the team is also connected to their performance... i guess they would take the game little bit more seriously.
and most brands usually have it in their contracts... stay out of the team for a particular time period and the contract cancels by itself.
