The Lone Ranger

For how long has Tendulkar stood out like The Lone Ranger amidsts the other indian batsmen who heave and puff whenever there a decent opposition bowling attack?
Na I didn't mean for you to answer that!!
It was supposed to be a rhetorical question ;-) (*Wink...Wink).
Just take the Durban ODI (played y'day 22nd Nov 06) for instance. India getting bowled out for a meagre 99 runs and Tendulkar scoring a third of them.
My fav news channed ISTARRR News had rightly called the match " Durban ka Darr!!!"

But it's not an Old Western any more; where a Lone Ranger could demolish a pack of tobacco chewing, gun slinging Outlaws!!! He calls for support....

Is there anyone who can hear???
Dravid...Dhoni...Sehwag...Anyone???

P.S> Same has been the case with Brian Charles Lara.... But slowly the WI team is learning to share responsiblities! Hope this rubs onto us Indians too.

Cheers,
