Sanjay Manjrekar's comments on Sachin Tendulkar created a furore. Ian Chappell, writing in Mid-Day, finds the reactions immature and says that Manjrekar is entitled to give his opinion.
Manjrekar doesn’t have a duty to check with Tendulkar before passing comment on the little maestro’s current mental state. He also doesn’t need to be in the dressing room to make this observation, as his years of playing cricket (many of them as a team-mate of Tendulkar) provide him with an insight into how a player’s mind works
