Dravid has won more test matches for india than sachin tendulkar. He has saved india from defeat on many occassions. Is the only indian batsman other than tendulkar to score more than 20000 runs in both tests and one-dayers. But Dravid today resembled more like one yesteryears batsman named Ravi shastri. He was a master stonewaller.

Pls check the stat before u call dravid is useless today even master blaster did not blast or tiger did not roar Where was superstars when team required their service?? opening in test against aussies on hard and bouncy pitch is tough task for any batsman even jaffer had failed.why did not superstar tendulkar and ganguly were not coming and opening to accomodate yuvraj?? Dravid sacrificed his usual spot #3 to accommodate Yuvraj?? ganguly and tendulkar went throgh more worst bad time and form than dravid and survived in team and got more chances. nobody screamed against both players ? Make tendulkar and ganguly open innings and face the new ball in test and make them bat in fiv

stop your broken record about past records. Dravid has opened before and plays number 3 consistently so dont blame his performance on being sent as opener. He also played like this in England when he was playing at #3.
