Yes, this is the beginning of the end. After Ganguly, the batsmen to follow:
Dravid (too much pressure has made him too conscious of his technique, he may leave next year or so) Laxman (although much younger, his fitness will leave him high and dry, by 2010) Tendulkar (all good things in life has to come to an end. I would love to see him as a part of 2011 Indian world cup winning team and leave on a high note).
