Should Sachin make way for younger blood?

History repeated itself in Australia and we were 0-3 down again. The selectors refused to experiment again. Abhimanyu Mithun, Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma watched from the sidelines. This was all the more alarming because Rohit was in red hot form at that time and deserved a Test debut.

Tendulkar has been without a century for about 25 Test innings now, but it looks like the BCCI will give him an infinitely long rope. He looks tired and jaded and it will be a disaster if he runs out of steam just before the South Africa tour.

Then some youngster will be thrown in the deep end in that particular tour. It would be a better idea to pick someone now itself and prepare him for that all-important tour. But even the talk of retiring Tendulkar is sacrilege in this country.
