Tendulkar out of Asia XI

[vvvrulz]

Tendulkar has opted out due to the advice given by the physio.

He'll still show up to watch the game, but I reckon this is pretty stink for the occasion.
He is after all a cricketing icon.

i dont understand why he was selected for the tie in the first place?I understand he is a mega-star,crowd puller,etc. But sachin had made it clear immediately after the Bangladesh tour that he would avoid participating in cricketing fixtures so that he can allow his injury to heal,which is I think is a good idea.

Sachin has said he wont bat but will play...

[vvvrulz]

Yeah now thats random.

Thats right.He'll only field.I dont understand the benefiot of it.He could've been replaced by someone,IMO kaif.

tendulker will be there and field sign auotgraphs and be a general appearance even if he doesnt bat at least he is making an effort

[imaginarydiva]

I am not questioning his commitment.I just mean to say that his team might find it a disadvantage if he doesnt bat.

of coarse sachin will be a big loss for asian side they are a good side still

[imaginarydiva]

Right!The Asian team is pretty good although i still think the World team is at an adv. cuz we have minnows in our team they dont.

lets not get mixed up with the real reason they are playing
