For country, not century

I agree with sourav Ganguly’s game plan about playing sachin Tendulkar in the middle order (straight bat, March, 2002) especially now that we have an attacking new opener in Virender sehwag.



Personally thought, I think Sachin will mind playing at No. 4 or 5. Over the last two years I have observed that Sachin plays for his centuries rather than for his centuries rather than for his country. He always goes slow once he reaches the eighties and nineties, no matter which over is being bowled. This is why his figures as an individual player are so good.
But what about our team? Afer playing so much cricket we are still struggling in both forms of the game. On the other hand, the Australians are doing great in both Test and ODIs thanks to their team efforts.
