Why did they drop Dravid?
Ayaz Memon is puzzled why Rahul Dravid when a) he has done a decent job in the few opportunities he had, b) none of the other batmsen have done anything particularly spectacular in the previous few months, c) there is a need for a technically strong batsman against a potent Australian pace attack. Read his piece in DNA.
Brought in a few weeks back to shore up the suspect Indian batting against short-pitched bowling, he finds himself bowled neck and crop by a grubber, as it were, and this one bowled by the selectors themselves.
The Cricket Watchers' Journal blog has a list of 'emergencies' Indian cricket has been bailed out of by Dravid.
