Tendulkar has taken breaks in between earlier as well & the show went on. The impact will be felt on results, but then after 1-2 years, we will have the new guys settling down and doing a decent job - we have guys waiting in the wings who would be given chances to prove with a longer run - ofcourse we may loose a few games, but thats the way it is . That is why all recomended the 3 (Lax, Rahul, Sach) to retire in phases, than at the same time. They can do what WI did with Walsh & Ambrose - They played them in alternate series. They can do the same - Rest 1 guy in a smaller series & 2 guys in longer series. And do not play them against weaker teams. It will alow a spot to open up,say No.5 whearas the others can rotate in the other spot ,say No.4
