uncle Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 With speculation on that Sachin Tendulkar may be rested for the next match, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar on Wednesday suggested that the veteran batsman should not miss any of the One-Day Internationals in the ongoing CB tri-series in Australia. Tendulkar looked in good touch as he scored 48 before being bowled by Angelo Mathews but it is still not clear whether the senior batsman would play the next match or not.The team management has opted for rotation policy as Virender Sehwag was rested in the first match against Australia and Gautam Gambhir in today's match. "I think Sachin should be playing in all the matches. If you want to use rotation policy then it should be used to rotate and field all the players. I believe that Tendulkar, Gambhir and Sehwag should play and may be one among Rohit Sharma or Suresh Raina has to sit out," Gavaskar told NDTV. "When you are choosing a squad of 16 and then you have to select the most balanced side. If someone is not performing then you should change him. But one needs to be upfront about it that you are dropping a player and not resting him. If someone is not performing he can be dropped and that's a fair call." Gavaskar praised man-of-the-match Ravichandran Ashwin's temperament. The Chennai player took three wickets and then came up with a crucial unbeaten 30-run cameo in India's chase. "Ashwin looked to be back at his best. The bouncy strip at the Perth also helped his bowling. He looked to be back to an easy action. I am glad that he is the man of the match as he showed a lot of courage during batting and also ice-cool temperament," Gavaskar said.

Stuge Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Ye Galat hai lol why ? i CALL HIM dadhichi because he sacrificed a lot for the cricket .sometime he does that act by getting out for the opposing team in tough situtations :hysterical: I first called him with that name, when I was 12 years old lol
Prakat Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Haha! Gavaskar is bored. He knows Sachin will never be "dropped" but new ways will be found to diplomatically sit him out. Evidently the rotation policy doesn't have fans in the senior contingent.

maniac Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 If guys like VK,PK,Raina are persisted with match after match for half a decent performances here and there,than why should the rotation policy apply to SRT just because he is SRT. Going by his last few performances in test and ODI's,he is still the best batsman in the country by a mile and just because we have set the bar for him so high and also the expectation of 'that thing we shouldn't mention anymore' that we over-analyze his performance and even think of 'resting' him.
adi B Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 he is right , srt must play every game, sehwag nd pp if played will be walking wickets ...srt nd gambo needs to be played, they can still play off the new ball at least, only kohli is the real match winning hope in the batting department for us

The guy who needs to be totally rotated out of the team is Sehwag.
1983-2011 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 which Nikon camera did you use to take that shot:hatsoff:
akshayxyz Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Gavaskar is well known to be SRT-bhakt.. but in this article, he is talking logically. Top performers should be permanent fixtures. Rotation policy should be generic, and not just based on age, or to 'prepare' young blood for some event which is 3 years away!
tondulka Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 sachin must play every game !!! the sooner he gets his 100 th 100 the sooner he can move on and enjoy his batting again
Late Cut Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 sachin must play every game !!! the sooner he gets his 100 th 100 the sooner he can move on and enjoy his batting again If he doesnt enjoy his batting because he hasnt gotten his 100th hundred then he doesnt deserve to be part of a team.
Stuge Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 which Nikon camera did you use to take that shot:hatsoff: haha lo no
mastana Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 That doesnt look real. How about this one which i created with three adidas bats at his forehad?
