After Sachin Tendulkar was not named in the XI for India's Commonwealth Bank Series match against Australia in Adelaide, the Times of India's Vinay Nayudu documented the reactions of fans and experts to Tendulkar's exclusion.
On the other hand, as expected, the general sentiment among spectators at the Oval was largely of disappointment. "It's disgusting," said an elderly gentleman with a big wave of his hand. A keen cricket follower, Todd Russell said he felt like being taken for a ride. "I was fortunate to see Sachin in action during the Test match here, but missing him today is again a disappointment. I guess everybody wants to see Sachin in action."
