Tendulkar hit a low of 54.02 in October 2008 (after the first Test against Australia in the home series). Funnily enough, he had long since passed his career "slump" by then, but was coming off a poor tour of SL. Strange how these running averages work.

Just can't see Ponting having a second wind like Tendulkar though. His current style of play just doesn't take kindly to ageing. Seeing as though Ponting's average was at one point over 60, it just shows how far he has sunk (and there looks to be no stop to the decline). Very disappointing.

Hussey is looking at one of the biggest series of all time as well.
Already 27th Aussie in any single Ashes series with 2 matches to go. Will almost certainly be set for a position in the top 10 ever and over 600 runs. And already 15th in a home series for an Aussie.

Swann with 11 wickets at 38.63 so far. Third highest wicket taker (behind Finn and Anderson) at the moment, though. What would the bloke have to end up with to claim this as a successful tour down under?
