Saurav Ganguly has bid adieu to `Kirik'et and so has the vily old fox Kumble. I was waiting for the third wicket to fall and almost read the headlines - Rahul Dravid quits - but that did not happen. One headline we will never see in our lifetime is "God of (Indian) Cricket retires". Sachin Tendulkar just keeps going on like Old Man River. Silently, VVS Laxman has completed 100 tests and though people will never remember 99 of those tests, they will definitely recall Laxman's magnificient innings of 281 that humbled the Aussies in Kolkata.
On the Aussie front, Ponting is the likely one to beat Tendulkar's batting record as he has a 3-4 year age difference on his side. But then, he is an Australian and the Aussie selectors can simply drop him if one or two series go bad. Only time will tell.
