It wont be a big shock if Tendulkar plays WC 2011 or even longer. And why not, he is only senior player remaining in the squad to play against Australia.  Selectors have put their axe on Dravid and Ganguly. Laxman is ou of ODI from last 2 years and Kumble has already his retirement. So, the only senior player left would be Tendulkar.

He had a fine knock all throughout the series but hadnt reached 100 for quite a while. He was out in 90s, five times last year, so I don even agree that he wasnt playing well last year.

GO ON TENDULKAR. SCORE CENTURY OF CENTURIES before you leave the game.
