@Imrankniazi Recently Dravid has undone lot of his good work in his "peak" years to be anointed as the greatest Indian batsmen.What Dravid can show to the Indian supporters in the last 4 years(except scoring against New Zealand and a ton on the featherbed at Ahmedabad)?He doesn't inspire confidence any more.Just eking out a career because of the impotence of Srikanth and co.I will have Laxman over him any day.I will be glad to be proven wrong in England tour(and Australia if he makes it) though.
@asisrout1988 I agree that he is well past his prime and must go now. But he was in a league completely his own in the 1999-2006 period. I'd say that he is the greatest Indian test batsman I've seen in action. All good things have to end one day. Just a shame when legends like Richards, Botham, Kapil, Waqar, Donald, Murali and now Dravid fail to time their retirements properly.
@chadivadi Lol! Knew that would come back to bite me in the arse someday.
Tbf, Asis and I were talking a few months back when Dravid was having a very long poor run. Seems to have found his touch brilliantly now and I have no issues with a player staying as long as he's there on merit. Dravid, as on date, most certainly is.
@chadivadi True. Btw, did you go back and read my original comment.
"India's greatest test batsman and greatest test liability."
Who do you think they are? Dravid and Ganguly respectively. Of course, my frame of reference was only this era. Overall, Gavaskar and Vijay Merchant were possibly as good as anyone.
To be fair to England, they won three out of the four series actually played in England in '96, defeating India in both the Test-match/ODI series & the ODI series vs. Pakistan, only for them to lose the test series to Pakistan that year.
I reckon these were the best ever TV graphics the BBC used for there Cricket coverage.

It is rather spooky that India's greatest test batsman and India's greatest test liability both made their debuts in the same match :-)

@Imrankniazi yeah ganguly has been disapointing in tests. but he was a pretty good captain even though his batting was poor as captain
