Record is more important, who cares win/lose series. We want the 100th record and all will be forgotten. Bhaad mein jaaye series. We'll celebrate for years...

Please request BCCI to arrange one tour to Ireland not even Bangaladesh because now a days Bangaladesh also getting tougher.So your sachin can easily make centuries.

without tendulkars runs if u see indias total scores till now will reduce by one forth . do u know that. after all he is a man. not superma. why dont u blame other 10 people in squad
Rahul Dravid - The Genius, Master,Class, Savior,quality and all.
Literally speaking total 8 innings he got out onlt in 4 innings.. other 2 innings not by himseld and other two outs were hard work done by the bowlers and finally requested the umpire to wrong decision.
So those two for umpire wickets. one is for blind third umpire and requested ICC to send those fellows to Aravind eye hospital.
In all the flat pitches Tendulkar showing his interest to open the innings and occupy the crease not giving chance to any body and scoring those useless centuries.
When team bad requires somebody to open the innings but this fake god disappears.
Since Last year SA series Tendulkar trying to score his 100 th ton but still he is dancing for those useless records.
Meantime Dravid scored 5 centuries including 3 in the current series and earning great respect from the Cricket world.
Comparision:
One day Cricket: Dravid started his career in 1996 and last played in 2009 and scored 10750 runs in the 13 years of span and stopped playing 2 year before iteself.
Tendulkar started his career in 1989 and still playing having score just 18100 runs in the span of 22 years which includes those useless 51 centuries. Difference between Dravid and Tendulkar is 7 1/2 year, If Dravid would have started with Tendulkar he could have scored more than 20000 runs.
Test Cricket: Dravid started in 1996 and still playing scored 12750 runs in the span of 15 years.Tendy is 22 years scored just 14900 runs.

I think Rahul Dravid is the unsung hero of Indian cricket along with Kumble. The reason maybe he is not from Mumbai, not very flamboyant off-field, keeps to himself and is not a show-off like Ganguly who was more fizz than substance and still considers himself to be a learner of the game. If Sachin with all due respect to his achievements had come and batted in the position Dravid usually finds himself in most of the times he would,nt even have crossed 10,000 runs in any version. After Dravid takes the complete pressure on him Sachin comes and scores runs. This series has really differentiated the men from the boys and there is only one legend in Indian cricket as far as batting is concerned. THAT ID RAHUL DRAVID.

If at all there was one person who screwed up dravid's career, it was dilip vengsarkar. He showed double standards while dropping him...But dravid showed his class..dilip may be a great player but he is not a good ambassador of cricket..ATP has an award called Sportsmanship award, named after my favourite gentle giant Stefan Edberg, likewise ICC should create an award for sportsmanship in cricket in the name of Rahul..Long live Rahul... May god bless you with longevity and bless us in making us watch you bat on and on and on and on in Tests. Gud Luck

Beautiful comparison and really he is class batsmen compared with any one,he is patience and slient and delivered when team needs,after him it is very difficult to a foregin soil player of his class.Well Wall,a new name should be Test Legend.

Hey,
Wat a comparison.....Sachin & Dravid are 2 great batsman of Indian Cricket.. You cannot compare...May be u trying to compare dravid's with sachin's interms of their debut...But sachin has equally contributed on ODI as well with more than 18000 runs & 48 100s....

Rahul's performance speaks for himself who performed despite being dropped from team time & again while Sachin kept on playing courtesy blessings from Maratha selectors. Sachin is no class in comparison to Rahul!

throw out useless Sreesanth & Ishant. If they cannot perform in bowler friendly conditions, where will they perform?

How many chances will u give to M Vijay, Mukund, Raina and V Kohli. They have been given many many chances. Raina performs in one game and then the rest of 10 games he gives up whatever he has.

Sehwag Mukund Dravid Yuvraj Rohit Kohli Parthiv Patel Pravin Zaheer - new player for zaheer Ashwin Ishant - new player for Ishanr
Dhoni had to pay the price for picking up the 4 fast bowlers. We can see from Viru's face when he was fielding that he is not 100% fit. Raina is another waste. He could better play for CSK and not to tour if he is unable to survive older ball.
It is time for BCCI to rebuild the team. We need a genuine fast bowler atleast 2 who can clock always more than 137 KMPH. He should be around 22.
BCCI should also be firm that whenever team loses series or win the series (once the result is known), team should test the bench strength. Saha, Virat should have been played instead of VVS and Raina and Munaf should have been played instead of Mishra albeit Mishra shown wonderful batting exhibition.
Saurav said during the commentary that our pacers clocks speed between 125 KMPH to 130 KMPH comparing to England Fast bowlers who are bowling consistently 85to 90 miles per hour in the flat wicket.
I think for the tour to Australia, Indian team should have youngsters and it is time for BCCI to rebuild young and vibrant team and old horses should be removed at any cost.

Well said. Can't agree with you more. Such an experienced line up fell like nine pins but the Wall showed his class with hundreds in Lord's, Nottingham & The Oval. Hats off to you. At least something to cheer about for me

I am an ardent fan of rahul dravid,with due respect to your views sachin & dravid are not openers where as sunny gavaskar is an opener , the score is always zero for the team , the quality of bowling of WI,AUSTRALIA & ENGLAND & TO ACHIEVE WITHOUT USING AN HELMET IS AN ACHIEVEMENT IN ITSELF.
