Dear People, especially Sachin fans and those who post Messages against Dravid. Please accept the fact that given the present day standards, Dravid is a cut above Sachin. I think Dravid has been used as a slave. If there are no regular openers, he will open, if a wicket falls early, he will be sent in to steady the innings, will be sent down at Number 6 to stabilize the lower order, will be asked to keep wickets to give an the team an option to include an extra bowler or batsman. What else do you want him to do. He will never cry that he wants only the opening slot or has never said that his captaincy is pressurizing him to perform. Moreover he is just one year old as a captain and this is not the time to compare with other captains. Still, Within this one year, we had victories over Pak, WI in their soil, won 17 consecutive chases, won a test victory against SA which has eluded us from 1992. Guys, it is a known fact that Sachin is great, but given the present day standards, Dravid is definitely the best when compared. He could not be selected as the ICC best test player and captain without performing. and for the past 3 years, he has been the most dependable player for India. Please have some heart when you throw abusive messages against him. SOmeone said sachin won matches for India at the sahara cup, titan cup. Didnt Dravid win matches for us in Aus, Pak, WI, SA, England and SL? Afterall, the players are there in the team to perform. Just giving some statistics and saying that he is best/worst doesnt seem good. If you believe in statistics, well there are many which can prove Dravid is best. We have accepted the fact that Sachin is great, so, please give due respect to Dravid for what he is now. Thanks
