Seriously though, its easy for us to sit here and say he should be dropped for the betterment of the team, but no one has the balls to do so.... |

The rest of the cast: Rahane, Raina, Badri, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj, Tiwary do not really seem the part, but we may have to do. Though I should probably reserve judgement on Badri.
Another way to go would be to play Sehwag at #4, as he has wanted to play at that position for so long now, and get somebody else to open. Sehwag replacing Sachin may cushion the blow.

Let's calm down and not go into hyperbole.
Don't think selectors will have the guts to drop him, like they didn't with Dravid/Laxman but even if they do there will be some outrage, but not this nonsense.
And btw, Sandeep Patil, a maharashtrian is Chief of selectors now.
