What do you mean Jim? You want to retain a player on his past laurels? If you were a boss would you live with an erring employee who spoils the office atmosphere but, who had an excellent past? I have the highest regard for Dravid as a player. But on current form, he has become an eyesore, looks pathetic. Instead of putting him under pressure to score atleast a 30, 40 runs once giving a few more chances, won't it be apt to give him a refreshing break to relax, to work out on his game and to come back even stronger? Do you wish to give him another series to strike form? Instead, a break will do him a world of good. I never meant a Sachin or Saurav or Rahul is finished as such yet. Use them sparingly in turn, to guide the youngsters. I too played cricket; if not at the level you played, at a lesser level. In a forum like this, everyone has a right to opine. It's not mandatory that, it should be to your liking. Afterall, this forum is not owned by you.
