I am completely disagree, but I will answer you. Read if u can bear the truth.
A team can't win on basis of only one or two players.
Strong openers and strong middle-order makes a team strong.
Sachin is nowhere in the fault. He was playing good in last game also. Even if he made 35, that was the highest score out of 11!! then what @ other 10. Forget 4 bowlers. What the rest 6 players did ???? Nothing - Jaffer (0), Kaif (8), Raina (4) and Mongia (1). What the hell is this ? Is this a kind of performance what top and middle order should give ? So everyone is responsible.
But its not their fault also. What I can guess from here is, Jaffer and Raina must be surprised when they were selected for ODIs against SA level of team, and they must have laughed against BCCI and selection committee.
If one has really analyze then Sachin hasn't got any good opening partener after Ganguly. In most of the matches Sachin's opening parterner (whether its Sehwag, Dravid or anyone else) gets out under 10 or 20 runs. Sachin gets out first in very rare cases.
And then pressure comes to him only and he starts playing defensive cricket and losses his touch and obviously opositions targets him becoz they all know after Sachin's wicket no one is there to really give any battle.
No strong top-order. no strong middle-order support then what the Sachin can do ? At least he should be supported by other players. There is no point in blaming Sachin. I suppose if he would be in Australian team then he would have much more centuries than what he has currently, becoz he must not be under pressure in each and every game.
Young blood is not working for India. India has no good opener except Sachin, and no good middle-order batsman than Yuvraj. Dravid has lost his touch and he is too much under pressure now. We haven't seen a good captain's knock from him since long time.
Its time for the selection jokers to think seriously and give answers that why good performers are out of team and why bad performers like Raina, Mongia, Sehwag, etc are given so many chances.

My dear friend you shud think before asking a very stupid question like that. Sachin was the highest scorer and the most economical bowler in the match. he also picked a very fine catch of pollock. So much for his commitment. I ask you what the other six ******* batsmen were doing. That Jaffer fellow, I am sure after this series he will find it tough even to play Ranji Trophy. What are Raina and Mongia doing in the team if Only Sachin and Dravid are there to Bat. Also about Dhoni , he is the most overrated Indian player ever and i am sure he is going to be exposed this time around with the fast and bouncy tracks in south africa. Hope u understand and stop blaming Sachin for everything.

One - is this a question?
Two - if you only want people who agree with you to answer then why ask in the first place.
Three - even if you are right about Sachin, to say that the Indian team become like Holland is pure nonsense. It goes to show how little you know about cricket. Indian A team can still beat Holland without raising a sweat. Get real!

Agree. The killer instict, the desire to dominate is gone. While we Indians continued eulogising Sachin, the real great of curent bunch, Brian Lara has silently gone past Sachin. Even Ponting will be finsihing ahead of Sachin.
What the MPs demanded yesterday should be implemented. No pay for such shameless performance. Kill the selectors. Why is Jaffer and Raina in team?????

Keep your opinions to yourself.You have no right to criticise, if you cannot appreciate anyone or anything.And since when do you know that Sachin has no power or no strength??Are you his personal doctor or physician?Who are you to say that the team has become like Holland?Everyone struggles at one point of time.Its scary to think that India has supporters like you who just jump at the chance to criticise if the team does'nt perform.Just put yourself in their shoes and you will know how it feels like to be criticised.The biggest reason for the teams bad performance is fans like you who have no hope or belief in their own team and their own country.SAD.

Sachin is well past his prime. May be he should retire gracefully.But what sort of team selection process is in Vogue. Anil Kumble is part of the tour but Our great captain does not have any confidence in him. Harbhajan who in no way is one of India's best off spinners is thought of as a match winner even when he gives batting practise to opponents. A injured Sehwag is thought to be more fit than V.V.S Lakshman who is by far the best batsman India has today. Any way in Indian Cricket mere talent is not sufficient. you should have godfathers backing you. Sorry Anil and VVS. Please retire gracefully rather than suffer the ignominy

NO INDIVIDUAL IS TO BE BLAME,
THEN WHAT IS SOLUTION?
Real solution is,
Define performace on batting and balling, like Shri DRAVID / RAVI Shastri will play 100 balls to make 10 runs. It is (negative) -100 out of 100 marks. And then
(A)
FOR PLAYERS:
1)
[Pay - kick back ] be proportional.
( if negative take money back from the player)
and
2)
the best performer of the match will be the captain in the next match ie rolling captain.
if the team is defeated
2 worst performer from batting
2 worst performer from bowling
1 all rounder ( if not performed well)
1 wicket keeper ( if not performed well)
shall be changed without any argument by any political parties.
(B)
FOR
COACH,
SELECTOR,
BCCI,
1)
if the team win the test/ ODI series it will continue
2)
if the team loose the test/ ODI series new CAPABLE will step in and all in the capacity of
COACH,
SELECTOR,
BCCI
shall be changed without any argument by any political parties.

Who tells you Sachin has no power ? Yes, he has. He has both Pawar and (Veng)Sarkar. The real question is when he will
(re)tire ? What he can do is to play a good innings once in every 10 outings.
