Dravids' right. But still its not 'THE END' for India. The batsmen have to pull up their socks for their next match. Especially, the top order has to take it seriously and create a History.
Dravid and Tendulkar can do much better. Their runs will do a lot for boosting the confidence of the team and make the other batsmen bat well. C'mon India dikha do, India ka naam roshan kar do!!!!!

Yes Drvid and sachin can do better only when you drop them and ask to play domestic cricket as you did to Saurav and Pathan
Why is Sehwag being kept in the team. Is the team management or seletors afraid of him that he will bash them if he is dropped? Sehwag has failed not just in the First Test & the tour game before that but also in the one day version. Then what the hell made the team management to play him for the Second Test. It was a BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BLUNDER made. Also Gambir did well in the tour game after the First Test. So Gambir should have been played instead of Sehwag. If Pathan can be send back home; if the selectors can drop Ganguly, Laxman, Kumble, even Sreeshant for the Champions Trophy; then why cant Sehwag be droped? Its time the Selectors & Team Management select the team according to the performance of players & not their records, performance years ago. The youngsters should be handled properly by sending them on 'A' Team tours. Since Sachin, Rahul, Ganguly, Laxman & Kumble will retire in 2-4 years, we could face a situation like Zimbabwe is facing & Australia is going to face.
My Goodness Gracious Skipper always prefers skipping. Okay batsmen are responsible, but who picks up them for the final eleven. Why Gautam Gambhir is not given a chance inspite of repeated failures of Sachin, Shewbag and goodness gracious himself. Why Gangulys and Pathans are only made scape goats? These are the questions awaiting answer from Goodness Gracious and White Mischief. And for Ganguly. All the talent,good work and determination tend to vanish in momentary indecision or wrong attitude. There is no point in being unnecessarily defensive. Either hit the ball or leave the ball and play natural game. Don't try to block the high risisng deliveries and get caught. Simply leave the ball.
