Sachin turns down captaincy

After dithering for long, Sachin finally decided to turn down Captaincy.

Sachin Tendulkar on Tuesday turned down the offer to become the captain of India's Test cricket team just two days before his appointment was to be formally announced in Chandigarh.

However, it is too early to plump for Dhoni. There is still an element of doubt about his capabilities.

Kumble or VVS Laxman could be the compromise candidates.

I would go for VVS, because his career seems to follow the pattern of Venkatraghavan, who was Captain in one Test and the 12 th Man in the next.
