CL T20- Crucial tournament for Rahul Dravid

Tejas 06 Sep 2010

Just read an article about some coincidental things happening in careers of Dravid & Ganguly. Ganguly struggled at the end of his career n then decided to quit during test series vs Australia. Similar happenings with Dravid as well n it cant be ruled out that Dravid would like to retire in test series against Aus. Well, my mind doesn't agrees he should be retiring yet. He is more accomplished batsman than Ganguly n he need not be following in his footsteps. But its time now he has to show again his class n make the selectors believe that there is lot of fire still in him. A big international tournament, high quality opposition, pace-bouncy conditions, poor current ODI middle order... This is a ideal opportunity to show selectors he is still valuable to be in other format of the game and he has it in him the caliber thats quite lacking in our ODI squad. If RCB wins the CL and/or Dravid puts in a smashing performance, he is bound to be noticed n be under serious consideration for being recalled in ODIs knowing the current incompetency of our middle order. Now if that happens, i hope its not just for the sake of 1-2 series where his service is used n then again dropped off! If he does get a recall n he performs series winning feats in his comeback, he is not likely to be dropped at all. A commanding performance next month in series with Australia wont impact his comeback in ODIs like the way its can in the CL... For that to happen, Dravid has to be for RCB what Sachin was for Mumbai Indians in the last IPL.

A great a great tournament, great teams, great opportunity... n u can expect greats like him to rise to the occasion. 'The Wall' needs to stand tall again!

Dravid is one of the classical batsmen in the world. Has all the things that an ideal international cricket standard recommends. India can replace anybody but not the classical legend/Mr.Dependent/The Wall/ Rahul Dravid. Please bring back Dravid in ODIs ... katti.bsj@gmail.com

lot of new names taking here. cool! good to see that. I never said he will retire, infact i m writing about y he need not yet retire. Its will be a sad end if he retires in poor form. It shudnt give a feeling tht he retired becoz he was not required. A legend shud sign off with style n honour!

Exactly holmes.Dravid needs to show he still has the fire power in him and he is very much suited for ODIS as told by the pakistani bowler Wasim Akram.CLT20 is very crucial for Rahul Dravid.he really needs to get going.Australia and new zeland series are important too.lets wait for the best.Hope the wall stands TALL!:)

I'm sure Dravid will come up something special this CLT20. I'm still holding onto the smidgen of hope that he will be back for ODIs and the WC. I gotta confess, don't bother watching ODIs anymore. It just boggles my mind that when they had dropped Dravid(and then dropped him again after CT) his supposed replacements were the Rohit Sharmas and the Yuvraj Singhs. Dravid is way more fit than these young bones. And as a person in the fashion field, I gotta say the people who are still calling Dhoni and Yuvraj to walk the ramp must be quite desperate...they're overweight and unfit not just for cricket, but for the ramp as well! Sorry to be snarky, but it is what it is.

Well i think he will be recalled because the first reason is southafrica.
The second one is:The midlle order is not in good touch.
But kallis should help him.If he faces all 60 balls and scoring 59 runs is not needed.
