time for Tendulkar to set his limit :

The Test series in Australia is all but over for India and what remains is a potential face saving exercise in Adelaide. As of now the clamour for a change in the team is doing the rounds. But, what needs to be answered is, is this the right time to phase out the seniors?

Have we found the right replacements for the illustrious trio of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman? In the ongoing series Tendulkar looked in supreme touch, Dravid was scratchy but the will to fight it out in the middle was still present, whereas in the case of Laxman, the very very special element was missing.

When India became the No. 1 Test team, almost everyone was of the opinion that now was the time to look forward. But as a matter of fact, the team has not shed its reliance on the big three - we still expect the trio to fire when in crunch situations.

After giving two decades of his career and being a honest servant of the game, Tendulkar inspires the same level of awe and inspiration when he walks out to bat - be it the chants of his name or the standing ovations at home and abroad, nothing seems to have changed a bit.
