Do you think MSD will select RD in playing 11 for Test-2?

[The Outsider]

Don't think we'll make any changes to the team. Dravid will probably be given the next test as part of a retirement deal.

[zubinpepsi]

and he retains grade A contract with BCCI... go figure.. hes here to stay guys...:wall:

[Show_stopper]

I am from Karnataka but even would have hard time arguing for him right now..its gone beyond just not getting runs,he is halting the progress we as a team are making in our attempt to be #1.

:dito: as emotions sink in, that looks like the best possible decision if made that way.

yeah but it would be unfair to drop him.as sachin said ,everyone has highs and lows and this is dravid is having his first low.he doesnt deserve the boot

not really his real low started only in srl.before that he was doing okay n played some important innings like his 93 at perth

[diegovegaz]

dhoni has already stated that he supports dravid he will play him in the 11, in hope of some form though, he knows he is taking a gamble moreover, despite dravid in, if we can chase the 4th highest total ever, we can win the next test as well

[Shane]

Expect a big one from RD this time!!! Wait How many times have i told that !!!

[Rajan]

Dravid will play at #5, Laxman at #3. even if he fails, he will not retire. he will go back to ranji.take a break if there r no international matches/pak tour is cancelled/no alternate team comes in. but he will not be dropped from the XI for mohali, he will not retire.

The selfish does not know where is the door.Better MSD shown him where it is.

[Show_stopper]

Sachin Rox..No that is incorrect.He is averaging 30 for the last 2 years.I think its time every one admit that this is not a "low" and face the fact that he is a has-been.

He is one of the most selfless players India have produced and a true legend, so some respect here !!!

[Anakin]

RD will play.

News on BBC; Kris Srikkanth meets with Dravid to 'discuss his future' and suggested that maybe, he should take a break from test cricket, go back to FC cricket and regain his form. Interesting.

Where is Mr. Hari Sampath !!!

[Guest dada_rocks]

HE will be selected and he will score a century in Mohali

[dial_100]

I am not sure why isn;t he taken a break. He needs to sit out and watch how it feels tobe out of the team for 1 tour and he will be back with bang. <<--Always Dravid fan-->>

[Willow_on_fire]

I hope Dravid does well at Mohali....the 'wall' should be respected for his contribution to Indian cricket..if needed....he should gracefully bow out...not get chucked out!!...the guy is a gentleman...and he deserves respect.

Good luck to Dravid if he is selected for Mohali. But it may be better for him to go to domestics and work it out. However, if MSD picks him in the 11, lets all hope for a century from the Great Legend :cheer:
