Dravid is great and I salute his greatness. To say he had a great 2011 and he retired in 2012 is not a fair statement. He had a miserable 2010, came back to do well in 2011 and again had a bad 2012 so far.

So he is retiring while Sachin had an awesome 2010, better 2011 and a bad start to 2012 so far, while people are gunning for his retirement.

everybody is saying dravid better than sachin...

and sachin better than dravid. but look at aus cricketer they are contributing so much to their country but not getting even 10% of salary of indian cricketer. sachin, ganguly and dravid make record because of quota system. they got chance to be in team for so long because of political pressure. look ponting they immediately sack him because of poor performance. if anyone do same to sachin then all politician will do strike

You are right. IPS and IAS Officers are being killed by the Mining and Sand Lobbies like the cutting of vegetables and no media analyses the same. But, for the cricketers and the cine stars it goes overboard. Take for example the reviews of films as well as the amount of time allotted to the cricket.

ok u guys have been raising the issue that sachin played for himself for a long time....give me one example where sachin played for himself.......iam sure that in all matches where sachin's ton went in vain is due to poor indian batting performance not sachin's fault....cricket is not individual contribution but team game...if sachin played for himself then all his runs shouldn't have been considered for india....we indians are great in pulling legs rather than appreciating great works....tats the reason india still a developing country....

I think Sachin's contribution to the team is far less than others;whether be it Laxman or Dravid..We kept praising him for his individual milestones..that's where Australia went ahead of us by giving importance to the team.

sorry to say, dravid looks more dignified then sachin at this stage of retirement. he never played for himself as dose sachin, he never slows down at 100 as dose sachin..best of luck Mr Dravid

Hard to Understand!

Shitij,

If Western newspapers don't praise a good Indian achiever, bums like you say that they are jealous! And if they do praise, again bums like you say "who cares?" What exactly do you expect? There can be only two positions for these newspapers: either praise a genuine achiever, or just don't care! The fact that a Western newspaper (or any newspaper for that matter) went out of the way to heap genuine praise on an Indian should be a matter of pride. Obviously, bums like you can't distinguish genuine praise from disingenuous claptrap! Get a life, loser!

The fact that he is the first non aussie to do so underlines the fact that he has earned the respect of even them, which no other cricketer has managed to acquire. Is'nt that a real testimony to his achievements?
