Well if Dravid is bought back then why not allow our beloved DADA Sourav Ganguly to come back from retirement. The other day in the ESPN studio DADA was telling he's feeling fit like a 25 yr old. BCCI should allow DADA to play and ask him to open batting with Tendu putting Sehwag at 3. Dravid at 4 and also bring back Laxman at 5. Dhonis and Rainas and Kohlis baccha log can dance at 6, 7 etc. Then we can also bring back Anil Kumble, Sunil Joshi, Srinath etc for some bowling. We can have a good team all over again.

I think you don have any knoweldge of cricket; Dada cant see the deliveries beyond 120 Kmph. England will have to call back Collingwood to bawl DADA...& regrding fitness of DADA, he cant run for third run. we have already seen his fitness in IPL.

u are absolutely right. dada can speak anything on mike. he can also tell that he is the best player of short ball . it is better to treat his comments as a joke and not serious. manjrekar is other fellow who speaks anything on mike. he is not half equal to dravid but makes comments that dravid is slow scorer in one day. first manjrekar should analyse how he played during his days. this days it becomes a joke that anyone can speak anything if they become commentator.
is it only now they realised he scored 10000 runs? did they forget for the past 2 years? selectors are just idiots. like asking dhoni to be captain. what has he done ? nothing but change bowlers and field positions. . anybody cna do that . anyways you dhoni fanatics wouldn't understand this.

Hi definitely agree with you on Dravid's skill as a batsman!!! But I don't seem to see any logic in your comments about MSD!!! U are probably watching cricket for the first time in ur life!!!Changing the bowling and field position is as important as anything u regard important in cricket!!!! Ask tendulkar to captain and u ll know the difference!!!! Morons like u, who hardly understand cricket should not be allowed to post comments on forums like this!!! Shame on U!!!
Hi guys, note down in your diary now because there is no other way in Eng, they have selected Dravid. But see, he will not be selected for the next series if played in India. Then the so called youngsters will be selected. In my opinion, Dravid should say no to this call and should not play.

Totally agree with you. Dhoni is been having a good few years at the expence of others
Whatever prompted Dravid's recall, should have prompted Laxman's recall as well. Laxman last played ODIs in Australia, and score 3 successive Hundreds.

Yes u r right and laxman is stroke player he can play faster than Dravid.
In English conditions he is the only player can play correct shots.In ODI's if the opening pair goes for less runs Dravid can make partnership with other players and play full 50overs.Otherwise India will not play full quota of 50 overs and out cheaply at 160~175 runs in 42 or 43 overs.Selectors has done a great job by including experienced Dravid and currently in full form.Best of Luck for Dravid and India.Jai Ho.
no youngsters will perform in england conditions, but i support youngsters , even they are out for 0 , given them enough chances, virat, raina, rohit, yousuf, vijay, let them play future we need them at one point of time, when dravid , tendulkar leave then we have to give chance , better give them now itself two three years they will settle, at least they go away another youngsters will come, instead of not giving them they will not say, and the press also will tare them , AT THE END BCCI WILL LOOSE CROWD AND PUBLIC INTEREST WILL REDUCE

None of these youngsters can face short pitched balls outside the continenet. They are only interested in IPL and the benefit they derive out of it. A seasoned inform Dravid is a dire necessity at the moment
