Rahul Dravid drags again

The decision to bring Rahul Dravid back into the Indian cricket team has never found favor with me. For quite a long time I have been assured and reassured of his lackadaisical performances in the one-day format of the game.


Although I did think it does make sense to me to have him in the attack when the team tours the Carribean islands, today's performance against New Zealand in Srilanka is too far from what seasoned thinkers of the game think.

I have absolutely no reservations in admitting that I think he is still a formidable force in test cricket and an attack without him is like a rudderless boat.

However in the 50-over version, I wish some new youngsters are given an opportunity in the place of the missing Gambhir and Sehwag. You never know. Some one could come out of the blue and prove to be a performer.
