RAHUL DRAVID'S LAST 1 DAY IT IS THE PAINS AND ABILITY OF ALL THE PLAYING TEAM TO PERFORM THEIR THE BEST AND GIVE VICTORY TO NATION AND IT WILL BE THE GRATE TRIBUTE TO RETIRING RAHUL
along with Mohammad Azaruddin Sachin was equally involved in most corrupt match fixing scandal that costed Hansie Crojnie life but Atal Bihari Vajpeyi saved Sachin ?
Indian batting cannot face what Angrez has to offer if India bowlers at the nets (and practice pitches in India) cannot produce the same or better (to win), be it pace (145 km/hr) speed, swing, bounce, fast spin, etc. Panesar gave lot of practice to Angrez and Swann learned a lot from bowlers like Afridi, panesar, etc. RP could have been better than bowlers India tried.

Right; the two batsmen were Ken Barrington and Brian Bolus. Apart from the statistics and Nadkarni's display of stamina, there wasn't much good coming out of this. The English players were badly hit by dysentery and there weren't sufficiently fit batsmen to bat. Therefore, as a strategy, the Englishmen decided to play for time thus giving their sick teammates more time to recover. It would have been more useful to India, if we had taken more wickest even at the cost of a few more runs. We would have had a better chance of winning the game. All five tests of this series were drawn.

Not exactly in scrap list, but put him on bench for some times. He of late has become larger than his actual stature.
