Dravid should be replaced by Badrinath or M.Vijay (who are named in the squad)for the next match.

I agree with you. He has got enough chances by now. His average from last year was just around 20 in test matches.
If India win this match, then he may be given another chance in 2nd test by our selectors/captain. But if India loose this match then I am sure he will not playing in next test match.
Sachin Tendulker is main batsman who can stay till the end play for win. VVS& others can keep company for him every body should look for win not for draw

It is time for tendulkar to show that he is made of such material by winning this test match. He should not simply score 80 or 100 and get out without winning the match.
