The latest news that Sachin is in the Indian squad for the first test against the Aussies has come like a breath of fresh air for the Indian public & to the world as a whole.The announcement itself psychologically lifts the Indian team as his absence has already given the Indian team a bad start for the 2004 cricket season.Actually speaking, its a real surprise to see that he will be fit for the first test itself.India versus Australia encounters have seen Tendulkar, especially at home notching up match winning scores. Australia will be on their guard now after the little masters inclusion. But, on the flip side, it needs to be seen how quickly can he adjust to the pace of the Australian quickies, especially, after coming back from a elbow injury, as the elbow comes into real play in relation to the quick reflexes to go through with the strokes that would thrill the audiences.It doesnt matter if he adjusts or not, as his presence itself is a blessing for the team.
