Injury to the rescue

So Tendulkar has been ruled out for another ODI series. This brings forth two different points of view.

1. From the point of view of the 'great' SRT's legions of admirers :

• His injury leaves a void that is irreplacable.
• Now, India will miss a player, who proves invaluable to the team, just by virtue of his being in the team. Never mind the fact that he isnt scoring runs.
• He will come back as a better batsman, keen and hungry to break records (not keen and hungry to make runs for the team's cause, mind you) as usual.
• And ofcourse, his injury is the reason that he didnt have a good run in the recently concluded test series. If he had been fit, M&M would have been taken to the cleaners, blah blah blah.

2. From the point of view of the other small category of people who dont think he is God :

• Hoorayyyyy!!!! (need I say more? I guess I should, for argument's sake).
• At last some deserving player gets a chance to showcase his skills (until God returns, ofcourse). In this case, the lucky guy who gets in is Badri, who should have been in the team long ago.
• No longer do we have to listen to tripe about how the 'master blaster' scored a glorious boundary or a painstaking century (commentary on various sport channels).

No prizes for guessing on whose side I am on.
