1. He always play for himself no matter what condition or match situation 2. His batting is most boring to watch. You will switch off tv or feel like smashing tv screen the way he play. 3. He can't win the match on its own or draw the test (7-10 matches in 120matches won't count) 4. He put pressure on incoming batsman playing slow. it is so true in one day and also don't fit into modern test match where #1 team has to score 4 per over to win every match and retain top rank for long time. 5. He has become so old, drop so many catches and have lost count how many catches he dropped in last 2 years. 6. He is selfish and he is over 36 and hasn't give any decent perform for last 4years even on dead pitch and still stick with team. If he had any moral or self-respect, he should have retried one day and test matches by now. 7. Even after facing millions (countless) bowl on and off the fields, he still struggled to bat and play match without fluent. 8. He never look confident in any matches. He was never inspire to young player. 9. Because of him, for last 4 years, many young player lost hope of playing for country. 10. He play too slow, and increase the required run rate without taking risk scoring moderate 50 out 90balls in oneday and put pressure on incoming batsman with over 7 run rate and reason for many loss in one day matches and convert winning test match situation to mere draw.

Boy if you do not know cricket better you stop writting like this. Dravid is the pillar of Indian Cricket for many years. You never know when Sehwag gets out. And many a times dravid has come to the crease facing second ball of the match and he handled bowlers well and made the balls soft enough for our middle order including Tendulkar to score runs. He has sacrificed a lot for Indian Team, Better we should give due respect to Rahul Dravid who is only second to Tendulkar in aggregate runs for India and is averaging more than 54. On tough grounds he has played the matches be it in England, Australia, South Africa or Newzealand, he has scored in difficult circumstances. It's very difficult to replace him.
does Gibbs mention the reason he dropped Waugh? He was nervous or got $$ to drop? God knows why he dropped Waugh. Does he say anything about his nervousness and drug/drink addiction and betting scandals he participated?

he puked and sold out South Africans to mobsters who were betting...and thats what made Dravid nervous during IPL...to see Gibbs kind of back stabbers playing IPL which has not even the country related patrioism that some time people show...Dravid must have surely got nervous to think with whom he is playing...

Gibbs didn't drop Waugh. He didn't hold the catch long enough and threw it in the air in celebration. Also the match in question is not the semi final but the super six match before that. Had they won that they wouldn't have met Australia in the semis.
Dravid is a world class player. He has played many times under pressure and naturally there will be pressure at tough times. He won us many games in his times. And you Mr. Gibbs by writing such nasty things what do you think or what you want to prove?. First think of yourself.
