Congrats Dravid!!! I hope the critics are silenced now.
Can somebody explain how logical was for the captain to send Dravid to bat inspite of the fact that he had faced 300 balls in the first innings. Why did not Tendulkar & Lakshman not volunteer knowing the fact that Dravid is tired. For a minute keep aside the technical aspect of opening batsmen and look at this with a human face !!!!

I am so glad that Sachin didn't score centuries this series, because even if he did we would have lost and you dimwit losers would have harped the same crap over and over again.
Whats worse is that you dimnuts will add dravid to the list of centuries in losing cause crap

This is 1st time in his career that Rahul has scored century and India are ending up as losers.compare Rahuls and sachins centuries and the win/loss records of the team and you would know.As far as calling Rahul selfish,its far from the truth.he has opened,kept wickets and done everything the team management has asked him to do.can u talk about the same for sachin?

By your stupid logic, one should hit centuries or fight only when there is a chance to win ehh ?
If someone picks 20 wickets and the team loses the match, would you blame the person for picking the 20 wickets ?
Let me give a live example of what happens. when the organisation doesn't do well on monetary terms, would they fire the people that have been performing or the ones like yourself who is the dead weight ?
If you work in a corporate , you would know that based on the pinkslips that you have received so far.
My guess is you are either unemployed or are working in some govt organisation where non performance is weighed in gold since performance would make others look bad

You are perfectly right. when Dhoni know how to bowl he does not have little of common sense and sacrifice himself as a opener. Good captain for advertisements.

Yes RD is great. Now Tendla will score 100 with couple of dropped catches and the commentary box SG RS will make a hue and cry for his 100th ton and ask the Govt to give him Bharat Ratna and few more gifts. This is politics in cricket

dravid playing very well in the 1st innings and facing england bowlers with ease..that prompted dhoni to promot him..as dhoni dont have confidence..if he sends any body along with sehwag india would have lost 6 wickets at leasttttt

Agreed. Does commonsense not prevail knowing the hours dravid put in and the time gap he has to start the second innings. Irrespective of how well he played first innings?

May be, Dravid himself felt that even if he comes at no. 11 he may have to bat again in half an hours time.
