Tendulkar still is looking for that century, i think he will retire then.
Maybe Fatigue isn't an issue? Once you get into the winning habit, sometimes complacency becomes an issue, especially when the players lack an incentive to win( you are financially secure, you know you won't be "dropped" after one performance, plus you have beaten this team before...do you really have that desire to win?)

I think India thought it would be easy. Even I feared they'd beat us for the first time down under. Complacency may well be the right word.
Regarding today's game we're off to a good start but we will need it. SL are on a roll in this series and both Wade and Warner looked very shaky in that first over. Had luck gone against us we could have been in trouble already. I just hope that rain doesn't play a part in today's game as there's apparently some around the Gabba today. There's no chance of that in Perth today-the weather guys have predicted 37 Celsius here.
