WHY THE BCCI DIDN'T GIVE PREFERENCE TO RAHUL DRAVID?
I AM THE BIGGEST FAN OF SOURAV GANGULY,I SWEAR. I AGREE,INDIA WANT TO DEVELOP YOUNG TEAM AND ALWAYS LOOKING FOR YOUNG PLAYERS TO DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS WHICH CAN HELP INDIAN CRICKET'S FUTURE.BUT ALL I NEED IS "THE WALL" WHO CAN PLAY ONLY AT ANY CRUNCH CIRCUMSTANCES.HE HAS GOT LOT OF EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS PATIENCE.HE IS JUST WAITING FOR THE SELECTION COMMITTEE'S CALL TO PLAY FOR THE NATION,OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE ALREADY ANNOUNCED HIS RETIREMENT.HE IS HOPING,THE INDIAN FANS ARE WAITING.JUST REMIND YOU,YOUNG PLAYERS ARE WELL MATURED.BUT THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THEY WILL GET YOU THE WORLD CUP.T-20,YES THEY'VE DONE IT ONCE.BUT THIS IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.YOU HAVE TO PLAY 50 OVERS UNDER ANY KIND OF PITCH.IF YOU TAKE THE ONGOING MICROMAX SERIES,YOU CAN REALISE THAT EVEN IN SINGLE MATCH,WE DIDN'T COMPLETE 50 OVERS.BUT DRAVID CAN DO IT FOR YOU,DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?ESPECIALLY ON THESE KIND OF TRACKS WHAT WE'VE GOT FOR WORLD CUP,HE IS THE ONLY STANDARD BATSMAN AVAILABLE FOR YOU.YOUNG INDIAN PLAYERS ARE NOT BIG ALL ROUNDERS AS WELL.SO,YOU ALSO CAN PICK DRAVID.OFCOURSE,IF HE ONLY CAN BAT,HE WILL DO THAT PERFECTLY FOR YOU.NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.HE KNOWS THE SUB CONTINENT CONDITIONS WELL.HE IS MATURED,WELL COMPOSED,EXPERIENCED,CALM,COLLECTIVE AND CAN BE AGGRESSIVE TOO IF THE SITUATION DEMANDS HIM.IF YOU SELECT HIM FOR THE WORLD CUP,HE WILL PLAY FOR YOU WITH HIS TERRIFIC SKILLS.AFTER THE PRIDE,HE WILL JUST ANNOUNCE HIS RETIREMENT TOO.OH MY GOD!HE WAS SITTING OUTSIDE FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.THIS AIN'T THE DESERVED HONOUR GIVEN TO HIM.SELECT HIM,HE WILL DO THE REST AND EVEN MORE THAN YOU EXPECT FROM HIM,I SWEAR.DON'T FORGET THE TREMENDOUS WORK WHAT HAS BEEN DONE BY HIM IN 1999.2003 WORLD CUP MATCHES.VIRAT AND ROHIT ARE GOOD BUT NOT THAT MUCH LIKE DRAVID,SO PICK HIM AND REALISE THE DIFFERENCE.I ASSURE YOU,THE STAND AND TALL,THE WALL,WILL DELIVER IT FOR THE ENTIRE NATION.SEE THE SINGLE MAN SHOW THERE.PLEASE MR.KRIS......HOPE SURVIVES!!!!

Yes, We desperately need him in the world cup squad.Just imagine the team which have Sachin,Shewag,Dravid,Dhoni,Yuvaraj and young players like Suresh raina,jadega.team will be at great composition.Its not too easy for the opposition to get the top 5 batsmen out.Everyone knows that,even the opposition knows that,We will have the psychological advantage too.Each players will get the self confidence.Dravid, ofcourse, always wants to rotate strike.He usually dont want to build a pressure. He dont take too much risk at unwanted situation unlike some young indian players.None of the international bowler can breath easy when they have to bowl to Dravid.He will just smash the poor deliveries. Yes,please select Rahul instead of both kholi and rohit.Because they can also do batting only but not in the every situation.Dravid can bat in any situation.so dont miss "The Wall".Mr.Srikanth please select Rahul dravid and make our team as a solid

Always people used to criticize dravid during his captaincy! He was called 'defending captain' during his last test match as a captain because he tried to draw instead of winning. The reason was zaheer can't bowl during second innings. So he tried to draw the game! Recently, dhoni drawn third test at WI instead of winning. But everyone overlooks when dhoni does a mistake. People defends dhoni even when dhoni loses! World Cup 2007 was collective loss. Dhoni scored 2 golden ducks out of three games! Sachin only scored against Bermuda! During dravid's captaincy, no one performed except yuvraj and himself! Kaif was out of form, raina came in to lose games for india, sehwag out of form, ganguly dropped from team! People overlooks his performance but blames when he does not perform! No one remembers his 50(22), 93*(62). 93* was one of the best performance I have ever seen! He did not get what he deserves. Atleast after world cup 2007, dravid got a chance. Hopefully, It would be good end for his ODI career! I expected him to touch 11,000 at 2007! Let us see if he can do it!

Dravid is going on bad form by magic he can return back to ODI team he should do exceptionally well in test matches and champion league otherwise no chance.

He should have retired long ago gracefully when he was in full form. If you look at averages scores in last couple of yrs, he is no better then any new member on the team. He should retire before BCCI throws him out completely.

its no point taking dravid back in team and then just forgetting him for next series
anyway he is old now , he will be retiring from cricket in a year or 2 or 3 max

because he should retire now gracefully
because now he is not playing like Rahul dravid
BCCI is applying the theory--"less play, less fails" on RAHUL DRAVID

I totally support you and if Sachin and dravid are not in the WC TEAM THEN IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR INDIA TO WIN THE WC2011.

Friend.... we wud have to accept the fact that he's not been playing well nowdays.. he's one of the greats but i don't think his form anyway justifies him to be in team
hope it helped....!!!!
