right, only difference between them is: - Ponting sunset started in year 2009 and Dravid's started from 2006. Ponting Sunrise started in 1990s where as dravid had sunrise for 2-4 years only.

hehe, common lets not be that hard on VVS and Sachin, may be this might be the last Sa tour, but they can continue even longer in Test cricket. But Dravid is no player to be in the team at all. He must be kicked out before he gets retired.
Its very poor batting display by Indian batting side. It was not swing bowling, but simple basic mistakes which lead the Indian batting into shame again. Top order players are batting without any confidence at all. Every ball they seem to get out. In fact indians tail-eneders are batting more confidently than top oders. Its pathetic to watch top orders so afraid of bowling even when it is not that dangerous.

well, best batsmen is only in books for Indian batsmen. Best batsmen is not about batting, but mental strength and patience and more confidence which they lack by 100%. To win this match -Indian batsmen require atleast one good solid partnership of about 100 which looks quite inevitable. Lets see the Pujara guy if he can show why he is so great in domestic cricket. But in this match even though Pujara has not contributed much, but he looks confident and that might work, but god knows what will happen in next 1 hr.

All the good work done by bowlers has been spoile by batsman. Fail to understand in Indian team both batting and bowling never click together. One of it always fail
This is not great swing bowling from SA. Its all Indian batsmen doing mistakes, basic mistakes and getting out. very poor batting indeed. Batsmen lack confidence completely, every ball they look like getting out. In fact Indians tail-enders are batting more confidently than the top guys. Some one needs to hit quickly before SA root out 2nd Indian innings.
Never ever expect anything from dravid he is selfish player , he never plays for country. He never ever deserve to be in indian team. If anybody has sense of cricket he never like dravid.

agreed !!!. He lacks confidence and is no more a first class player any more. I would suggest he should be rested as well.

Agreed that Dravid is not in his best form. Nobody bothers about what you think.
i always get this feeling ......whenever dravid bats with sachin, he gets so intimidated that he tries to match sachin shot to shot.....tries to score fast like him, or tries to score boundaries regularly just to show that I am here aswell....This is exactly what happened just now. Sachin came and hit a boundary and he tried to match it and threw away his wicket. Anyways, he should be out of the team.

Sachin always played for personal records and then went in front of the media and blabbered nonsense that he plays for India.
