Rahul Dravid the very talented batsman from KARNATAKA is one of the great legend of INDIAN cricket like KAPIL DEV, SACHIN TENDULKAR, SAURAV GANGULY etc..One of the outstanding batsman in our cricket team. The BCCI has to take out its selfishness and give him chance to play for 2011 World cup. We can't send dhoni alone. He will spoil HINDUSTAN's name. Their should be seniors like RAHUL DRAVID, SACHIN TENDULKAR in the squad inorder to control the team. Sack him out from Captaincy and make VIRENDER SEHWAG as new captain and CHETESHWARA PUJARA as his deputy.
In the coming ODI matches against Australia, New Zeland and south Africa, India must try some new middle order batsmen so that replacement for Yuvraj, Rohit sharma , Virat Kohli can be found. It would be a good idea to try Saurabh Tiwary, Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey. Yusuf Pathan can also be tried as an all rounder in he ODIs.

middle order is not abt trying young and phalthu players against quality AUS pace attack.....it's abt playing a world class proven and experienced player....at no.3 position...who has the ability to hold the inningse and bulid partnerships...not like a "phalthu" stroke player who cant even play 5 good overs of quality pace attack of AUS bowlers....above mentioned all the players are "flat pitch bullies"....neither have the technic and temperament to play and succeed against quality AUS attack... only "rahul dravid's" presence is enough at no.3 position to hold indian inningse while setting or chasing a target....couple of young players can be played along with him..... dravid is a must for team india at middle order.....no more "phalthu" young players are needed......they never succeed against quality AUS attack...
