Good article.
It is unfortunate though he played on with injury for so long.
If he got his operation before he would have probably scored closer to hundred hundreds.
Even last year he got out in 90's 5 times and 80's two times.
Now hopefully he will be back and scoring more runs.Do not know how the cricketing world specially Indian team will be without him once he retires.
The pressure he has to deal with indian fans all over the world has probably been the greatest in any sporting career ever for such a long period.

Despite him having a strike rate of almost 75? He thoroughly dominated Michael Clarke and Brad Hogg, and scored respectably against the seamers too.

Most test class batsmen could dominate Clarke & Hogg I'd say...

My point is that he hardly ground out his runs at a strike rate of 40 or something. He scored more runs against those two than balls he faced and he picked of Mitchell Johnson pretty easily too. Brett Lee was the only bowler he was relatively slow against, scoring at about 50 runs per hundred balls faced, but even then, that's not 'slow' by any means.

The season is 2007/08, not 2003/04.
Tendulkar batted quite aggressively this series. Happen to see that over against Mitchell Johnson in Adelaide?

One swallow does not a summer make.
The Tendulkar of old used to decimate bowlers of the class of Warne & Co. They used to fear him. That was sheer genius. Now he is simply working very hard.

That's largely true, but it's still very admirable and shows another side of his greatness as a player. He seemed, to me at least who doesn't see as much of him all the time as others have in recent years, more assured this tour than he had been for a while.
May be a mis-impression on my part, but that's how it looked. Didn't really look like getting out to anyone other than Lee, who was pretty threatening to everyone in all the tests.

Whatever it takes!!!
yeah... he is playing much better than perhaps he ever did since 2000... And if you are talking about the Sachin of the middle 90s, except for some years between 93 and 96 and THAT season in 98, I think he has hardly been as dominant as people make it seem in test cricket.
Mostly, he has generally played slightly different type of cricket in tests than he does in ODIs... Nothing wrong with it though and to me, it only adds to his legacy than actually retract from it. It is some thing that differentiates him from some one like Richards...
