Not the right caption. That would be if the match ends in 3rd day or 4th pre lunch session and the team loses by an innings and over 100 runs. Pommies took it the last day 2nd session. so that,s not thrashing...
it's very obvious he is prolonging the inevitable,at some point of time any hunman being, be it any field, need to realize his time is up instead of being a burden.

when you state the obvious on SRT all you will get is plenty of abuses. Dravid and then Laxman bid goodbye for future of indian cricket. This player still has not. and the mumbai based comm. team will back him to the hilt

next test - his best chance after WC 2011 final - to call it a day in front of home crowd. Let's hope he does...or does he want to play 200 tests for India or make 16 k runs or score 50 100s in ODIs? All redundant, he has made his mark and time to go out gracefully.

if he does that, he will only be losing respect completely and will be remembered for how he ends his career.

I was a Sachin fan but started disliking him after the Multan fiasco where he went to media and said he was upset not being allowed to complete 200. Anyway,even Sachin supporters will agree now he is too selfish.

he was given 1 hr after tea to reach 200 on the 2nd day of the Multan test but he went at snail's pace to 182 whereas yuvi hit a 50 in that hour. So what did Dravid do - declare and give his bowlers a chance to have a go at the Pakistani batsmen in the last hour. All correctly done in the team's interest. But some are obsessed with personal milestones and will claim that winning the match is important not personal milestones. But when they miss, they cry.

absolutely Harsha supported Dravid on that decision. not sure how Gavaskar etc said on that take of dravid

and Harsha is a great admirer of Sachin but still did not cloud his judgement based on that admiration.

Indeed.Aswin is a pain in the neck seeing him bowl in recent times. He is justifying his promotion to A category by demonstrating that promotions are for the inefficient.
its seriously a revenge series, england trashed us with their fast and swings wickets, we should surely scrw them with our spins and slap back 4-0...we have already done that in ODI 's earlier....thumps up for our team and as far as tendulkar goes....we are with him , he will deliver sooner or later
