Accept it....if sachin is gone, the team's morale meter goes into the negatives..his playing a big part in the score is an instant inspiration for the batsmen who follow up after him...n in most cases, his big contributions to the score often have taken india all the way to a resounding win...

And the biggest thing of all, the respect tht he gets from fellow team members and spectators when he comes to the pitch to play...thts something dada can never achieve...
if saurav leaves the team today, hardly anyone in the team wud be affected....

...he can never be the morale booster for the entire team like sachin...

But evn a rumour tht sachin is gonna retire can do so much to the team and the public in general..u can judge tht from the news coverage yesterday...
Sachin is a phenomenon not only for India but the whole cricketing world....dravid is a very reliable player and is proving to be a worthy captain, as for Dada, all i can say is tht he was the rising star who stumbled n went right down the drain....

Right now, he is only trying to wipe the mud off his face...
