He does deserve the accolades for his illustrious career, he may be a tad slow but still is better than the most in TEAM INDIA. His performance of late hasn’t been as shabby, he has played a few good knocks since his return from injury. Yes, the master craftsmen who bettered what came at him for the last sixteen-years will surely rip those attacks yet again - the trouble lies in his utility: he has struggled with injury post surgery that has forced him to transform his batting array and his on field abilities have suffered drastically, once and outfielder Tendulkar is stuck to mere slip quadroon know… Hope his fitness allows him to play for the country in the Windies next year, coz the Indian squad…. Needs the Little Master.
