Absolutely Right

Yes I totally agree with Niranjan Shah. Dravid is being made a scapegoat for the failure of other batsmen in the team. IF one follows the cricket history in India, one of the main reasons that India have lost matches even in many instances when they should have won, is because batsmen who were totally set just threw away their wickets to really bad shots. Gavasksar and Dravid are probably only 2 batsmen in our cricket histroy that have shown the dedicaion to stay on even if they have completed the centuries and continue their innings without throwing away their wickets. IT is why Dravid won the matches with Australia and Pakistan. He made his captains look good. Unfortunately he did not get this from his team. Ganguly and Yuvraj foolishly threw their wickets away with the Bangladesh match and the same thing happened with Sri Lanka Match. Australia win matches because every batsmen tries to complete a game on their own.

Thanks Critics. Unfortunately "reason" is a minority voice in our country.
