You are right that Dravid was in a helpless situation. No captain can dream a win when all his fellow players are batting and bowling badly. Even Riky Ponting can do nothing other than what Dravid did. Remember, Dravid was the only one to score a big score while India played the crucial match against Srilanka and if you do not know go through the figure that he and Sehwag did bat and nobody else could or did score 20 runs. We gave tiger and master blasters who could not make a double figure at all. If Dravid had some Ranji players, India would have reached second round at least.
