Where were you guys all these years. May be you have seen tendulkar play well after a long time so you could not hide your joy. You coming and posting here itself shows how bad he has been over the years.   For ricky ponting and matthew hayden supporter it is almost daily affair to see them score big over the years.

 Tendulkar has made this much run after a long time.  If he was playing for Australia he would have been dropped a long time back because of his poor run of form.  Secondly we cannot compare tendulkar and lara now. Lara has already retired.  He retired his test cricket in a high with  double hundred and a hundred in his last series. He also scored 26 runs in just one over in his last test series.  And of course if you go by the history of Adelaide Oval it is probably the flattest surface along with Antigua where even score of 550 doesn't guarantee you success.
