Master Blasted

So finally Sachin spoke.
It means only one thing that internal chaos in Indian Cricket Team is way more than what we see. He is not the kind of person who gives public statements about controversial issues.
You can question his technique, or his form and his timing etc.
But not his attitude, his dedication and commitment towards cricket. Never that.
He is the same person who resumed the tournament after attending his father's funeral.
He is the same person who played with a broken thumb in the last World Cup.
He is the same person who threw Shoaib Akhtar into the stadium for that awesome six over the point.
Chappell really pushed his buttons this time.
No matter what happens Sachin is still Sachin. If Chappell doesn't understand that, he doesn't understand Indian cricket.
But then again if commitment was there, it wasn't visible on the field.
Hopefully something better will come out of this situation. Blessing in disguise!!

This tournament is going to have long lasting effect on Indian cricket, if not the world cricket.
Kerry Packer version 2 (Read: Subhash Chandra) is the first person to dive into this pool.
Many will follow.

What will happen next?
