Yes, The man is so rightly called 'The Wall". He has got that word in his name itself - just reversing his name "Divar"D - in Hindi means "The Wall". So fitting huh? Truly a legend and Champion!!!!

Dravid should open with Gambhir... where there will be left and right combination...and make yuvraj and raina to play...
Middle order is same but england has edge at batting posoition 7. Wicketkeepr mat prior is far superior to dhoni as a batsman. In last 2 yrs prior has scored 4 century & all resulted in england win. Even in recent SLK series he scored 81 in 1st test which england won. Batting position at no.7 is a crucial slot & dhoni has been a big failure on all overseas tour in test. Except for few fluke inning his failure rate is 90% in test overseas.That is the only concern for india otherwise India is either matching or superior to england in every field
sanjay manjrekar has said on cricinfo chat with ravi shastri how england tracks were very flat in the 90s and how indian batsmen enjoyed those conditions....
