If you are a Sachin fan please think again.When everybody askedg Sachin to play for India , Sachin flatly refused.In 2007 he told to the world that he doesn't want to play T-20 because he wanted to be fit to play ODIs & Tests as a true patriot. Now he wants to play in the IPL as he can earn more money but doesn't want to play for India in the T-20 world cup.Is he just born for the money or is he a real patriot?

Personally, i am not a Sachin fan nor a fan of any cricketeer in the Indian team.Therefore i can give my opinion on this topic without any bias.I was also surprised when he was adamant in his refusal for playing in the T20 World Cup. He is in such good form that i feel he would have been an asset for the team.However he had already informed BCCI well in advance before IPL started that he would not play in the WC.Even Bhajji spoke to him again and requested him to change his mind but he refused to consider it.He has already said that after the ODI WC in 2011 he will retire and concentrate only on test cricket. I think he wants to take rest and be fit for that tournament. Of course he is earning handsomely in IPL but money is not the factor since he has made enough for ten generations.Lets wait and see whether he makes himself available for the 4th edition of the IPL or decides to call it a day.

Hello veejay! Yes we will wait & see whether he plays in the next edition of the IPL.But when he says that he is FOR INDIA then he should have made up his mind to play this T-20 WC.

To talk about Sachin with sense it has to be "he is not only a great player but also selfish"
