although dravid cant b replaced, dravid's capability of playing long innings n with technique lies with pujara. he is the only one who comes into mind to replace dravid. yes, kohli is also good but pujara is better than kohli n more talented. pujara looks better than kohli, to replace dravid.

Expected comment from a tamilian...jealous about everything thats the way u people are...f..o..madrasi
The selectors are all former players who know when a batsman is out of form or done when they see it. Sachin in Australia looked the most confident batsman apart from kohli towards the end.
If you compare other greats who have scratched around when the time is up, Sachin is nowhere making a mockery of the standards he has set.
Kapil dev during his final days was taking the wicket of tailenders. To assist him, Kumble used to bowl all 6 deliveries outside the off stump so that batsman does not get out. Then Kapil would come and bowl slower than kumble stratight at the batsman and try to get him lbw or bowled.
As a batsman, there is nowhere to hide. If you scratch around you would be thrown out of the team.
Sachin has not yet reached that stage and hope he does not.
Now make him Couch, give him some respect and get rid off those white faces who comment on Indian player and Indian culture after they collect a huge pay check! Doing nothing!!!
