Shyamu baba......there is saying...."jo jeeta wahee sikander" I give a damn to technical ability or how much run Dravid has amassed...Dravid is never a match winner in Oneday..forget 20..20...He has just accumulated his runs to keep his position secure in team..which Dhoni realised and throw him out of team.... see...his body language on field....half sleepy.... He is a good test player when you talk about the technical or batting ability ..... His worth only justified in One day when he dons the keeper hat...which he was reluctant to do .....because of obvious reason....how would he sleep.... Don't think the eyes you see the world through is the best eyes...so before designate someone comments as stupid......think 100 times...

Shyam. Here we are discussing 20/20.
Cricketing instincts and basic skills are most important. Dhoni scored 60 odd runs in 30 balls in Bangalore.
If Dravid had similar big hitting skills, Bangalore would have won yesterday.
Noone is questioning Dravid's intelligence. Realising his limitations he has dropped himself down. His utility as a player and his skills for fast scoring or minimal. Making him an icon is an insult to bangalore and to 20/20.
If Robin Uthappa had represented Bangalore, they would have won more.

well said.. Dravid is a class player, so Ganguly, Pointing, VVS.. They cant play gully danda cricket.. which does not need class and intelligency
