yeah, i'm sure he is presenting a correct picture too.......it's just that while he was here, he was content to go with the flow, work with the system, however flawed it was, now that he is out of it, he suddenly decides to turn everyone in?? you have to wonder whether part of the reason is sensationalism and the sale of his book, especially the "tiff" between dravid and tendulkar....what would he get out of bringing out such details other than some cheap publicity for his book?....i don't know, there is some sneakiness to his approach that stinks here....chappell for all his faults is at least speaking his mind and trying to get things his way while he is on the job....Tim said:
I read the article. I'm the biggest defender of Sachin, and I see both sides to this. They should NOT have declared on 194*. Either let him get a double, or declare earlier. If the target was far away, then I would be totally opposed to declaring (for example, I didn't like SL going for Brian Laras' record at the expense of a test..even won a whine award for that...I guess wanting a team to go for a win instead of selfish records = whining)....but 6 runs...that's nothing.Jono said:*waits for Sanz to read this thread*
Regarding Wright, meh everyone wants their books to sell. What better way to increase the sales then by mentioning a minor tiff between India's 2nd and 3rd biggest star.
Pardon my ignorance on India, but if SRT is second (I'm assuming who you mean) and Rahul Dravid being 3rd, who is 1st? Sunil Gavaskar or Kapil Dev? Or somebody else non cricket ie Bollywood?Jono said:*waits for Sanz to read this thread*

Besides I cant go against JW. Well in this case Wright might be saying to sorta put a good face to the whole situation, but in this case (even though i worship GODsilentstriker said:
) the ultimate blame has to go on Sachin, first off for a player at that level and with his experience he should've known that the declaration was around the corner and accelerated which he didn't, many ppl said that Dravid should've sent a message to Sachin, well Sachin is the senior most batsman and had been a captain once so the onus falls on him doubly (in this particular case) as he should've gauged the situation, finally he himself made matters worse by bringing that up in the media. Ultimate blame in this case falls with Sachin period, no one else.
