*Which cricketer you hate the most?
*Rahul Dravid.
*But Why?
*It started in early 1990's as he posed challenge to my endorsements and earnings. Rahul became my worst enemy when PEPSI choose him over me and even gave Rahul more money than me.
*Your captaincy is one of the worst and after your tenure as captain you have always refused the job and even declined as deputy?
*I don't know why, but I agree to my critics that I'm not a'true team player'. I refuse captaincy today also b'cos I doubt my success and I cannot accept deputy post b'cos if I have to take decisions if captian is not on ground. I have refused'stand-in captain' as well on several occasions.
*There were several criticism after Multan test(declaration by Dravid), you made mistake of condemning Dravid for declaring?
*Right, information on declaration came to me at tea break itself, I played slow to see if Dravid can dare declare the innings until I complete my 200. I scored slow deliberately to affect chances of winning the test match, b'cos everyone will praise Dravid if India wins the match. I hate Dravid and I shall do everything to defame him, no matter what, please don't tell any body.
*OK we shall not tell anybody, Sachin you have fared well in some of the matches under Rahul Dravid?
*Yes, Rahul and Greg have powers to throw me out on grounds of non-performance. So I do some justice to my personal records and to my position in the team.
*In 2005 Pak series too you gifted your wicket to Pak even though the ball did not touch the bat?
*I said you that I shall do anything to defame Rahul, unfortunately TV replays caught my act precisely. I felt really embarassed. After seeing TV replays and comments I walked into toilet and did not come out for an hour. But Dravid supported me in media briefing at the end of the day.
Coming to Tennis Elbow(Sachin interupts abrubtly)
Well this was just a game plan, it was a very simple'tennis elbow problem' and was not as serious as publicised. I wanted to see if Team India can perform without me, to my surprise did excellently. But by God's grace and my strong influence I am back in the team. Greg and Dravid posed big challenge to my comeback.
*You wear xtra Indian flag on your helmet, you corrected upside down Indian flag in Pakistan and you are excellent example of a true Indian sportsman, but you score zero when it comes to'team effort' and you are also selfish about your Captain?
*I love my country, tell me in which country you get so much recognition for swinging bat around? In terms of money I have grown from a household income of 12 lakhs to over 1000 crores assets. Let me remembered as a cricketer who played for'himself' I have no problem, b'cos I am so. I already told you that I hate Dravid and I shall do my best to defame him.
*But media and people are noticing your negativeness, for example the recent batting against Paul Harris? Barry Richards, Ravi Shastri, Gavaskar, Harsh Bogle and many felt that it was not'Sachin' who is playing Paul Harris?
*Media and people noticed that I played bad to Paul Harris bowling, also people have noticed my negative body language when struck on my pads, it's unfortunate that my gameplans and negative body language are getting noticed. In future I shall be extra intelligent in not exposing my negative body language. I shall talk to Dravid in middle of game and impress public that I'm a team player. I did this in last test at Cape Town v/s SA didn't you notice?
*When do you want to retire?
*After Dravid's retirement.
*But then there's lot of pressure b'cos your performance is not upto mark?
*See in SA, Dravid's avg is less than mine, people will not throw me for just one bad play against Paul Harris. I shall manipulate my performance in such a way that it will have least impact on Team's winning and at the same time stick to team India.
*What would be your World cup 2007 performance, will it be manipulated?
*Well, I told you several times, I shall resist with atmost power, any gain to Dravid's reputation. I shall play well in non-crucial matches and will get out duck in crucial match - please don't tell anybody.
*Are you alone against Dravid?
*No, Shewag is dead against Greg and Dravid, he hates Greg. Once Greg called Shewag an idiot for a bad shot. Dravid's cup of woes would be me, Shewag and Ganguly(if he makes to final WC team).
*Tell me how India can win WC2007?
*Make me captain only for WC2007 and I should call shots for selecting Team India, I will gracefully retire there-after and I guarantee highest individual WC score. Greg should step down, Dravid should only play for tests after WC2007.
*Tell me about betting?
*Kapil is one of the biggest better cricket has ever seen, next is BCCI as a whole. The list is huge. But no betting in present team. I stopped after Azhar was caught. But my betters and collaborators used to bet on my individual score. If I play as per my better's instruction I used to get 1-2 crores. I got both for flop and high scores.
*Thank You, you'll wake up after an hour or so, talk to you later again !
*OK, Thank you, don't tell anybody
