Selectors have brought back Dravid and it is possibly an admission by them that the young players cant play in tough conditions. They had dropped Dravid in 2007 to make way for a young team but picked him for facing tough conditions in South Africa in 2009 and now 2011 in England.
This man - Rahul Dravid is a partnership man of India. In terms of Super powers he is no Sehwag / Sachin or even Ganguly who taught this team how to fight. But Dravid has kept wickets, opened for India in both formats, played endlessly to save or win a match. He never seems to complain and its always a battle when Dravid battles to survive.
But I felt shortchanged today being a Dravid fan. Its great that the selectors have selected him. But wasn't he shown the door for being OLD. Why do they (BCCI) and the management have to go to him each time - to open, to keep. Groom the new players please. May be Dravid (Wall) now has to say - "stick no bills". May be by announcing his retirement from ODI's and T 20 after his series, he already has.
Sorry I lied. This blog is after all about Rahul Dravid and BCCI. By Ninad Tatke.
