It is time to remember Ganguly's gesture

in the 2003 Adelaide testbetween India and Australia:
"Ganguly replaced Tendulkar in the batting line-up on Saturday night after Australia had taken two quick wickets.

Tendulkar has struggled in this series and Ganguly says it made sense to save him from batting late in the afternoon.

"Sachin is the best batsman in the world," he said.

"He's one of our key members and there are times in your career when you have to look after certain people and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

"We want him to fire."

Ganguly says the "Little Master" should be given every chance to find form.

"As a batsman, I also know that it's (the end of the day) not the best time to come in and bat," he said.

"He said he wouldn't mind and I said fair enough and he deserves it with the amount of runs he's scored for the country, he deserves it (not to have to come in)."
