Back to back centuries in successive tests is nice, but hope dravid continues his form for the rest of series. It'll be hard to level the series, at least we can try not to lose our no. 1 ranking.
Not just dravid, our other top/middle order has to come to party too....so far its just been one man dravid, need contributions from others.

this the thinking why indians are suffering all over world....mostly by islamic n australia etc
This is a slap back on selectors who ignored him for world cup whenever there is tough conditions, they bring back dravid saying that he is steady hold one end so and so. Other youngsters are flat track bullies.Dravid is the only batsman in india who is technically more compact and sound than tendulakar I think real match winners in India at present Batsman Test cricket-Sehwag Dravid and Laxman One day cricket-Sehwag,Gambhir,Virat Kholi and Yuvraj Singh 20-20- Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Dhoni Bowlers Test cricket-Zaheer Khan, Ishanth Sharma One day cricket-Nehra, Praveen Kumar,Ashwin 20-20-Ashwin So better to remove tendulkar (for one dayers, Dhoni (tests) and Harbajan (Tests and One dayers)

Dear Contributors, It is really sad that we are discussing everything other than Dravid's retirement from T20 and One Day Internationals after the English tour. Does it really matter if Dravid's father is a Tamilian or Maharashtrian. Leaving all these petty details aside, Dravid has been one of the consistent performers in the world of cricket. The dediction that he is showing throughout career is a lesson for all the youngsters. Like Lakshman, he is also a crisis man. We salute you, Dravid, for your contribution to the Indian cricket. We also wish you the very best in your Test Career.
I think he has called time on his limited overs career to avoid the humiliation of being dropped again. The Indian selectors have treated this great cricketer pretty shabbily. The only reason they did'nt drop him during his form slump was because his average during the form slump was better than Yuvraj's Test average. The selectors had no confidence in the alternatives. Hats off Dravid and thanks for all the memories. As and when you call time on your test career, I will have one less reason to watch cricket.
