Dravid to quit. Is he right?

Look like you having good knowledge about his life.. you should surely go for an article. Best of luck.

Apart from being a brilliant cricketer, he is known to be loving reading books and a thinking person. His Bradman memorial lecture was a thundering success!

Yes. Still, I don't want him to part :(
I think, he can stay for at least 1 year more

I think its too late now.. I just seen in news that he took leave from TEST cricket too.. :(

Now we can only see him in IPL.

He has 48 centuries in his carrier, I read through newspaper. He should have completed the fifty mark before his retirement :(
Once again, he proved himself to be a perfect gentleman :)

Ya this is very sad news. Dravid is one of the best test cricketter in indian team. I dont know why He suddenly taken this decision. If he taken this decision because of pressure based on australia's match performance. His decision is wrong. If he taken this decision by own then it is Ok., but any way we are going to miss a very good talented batsman. :(

No this is the not right time to retire as India is suffering with lot of failures he must set a good platform for India but one time failure he taken that decision.

Rahul is a great cricketer and his contribution is great to Indian cricket.
This is the right time to quit with great prestige.

Yes I will surely agree with you he is called as wall of indian cricket. I am a great fan for his concentration when he is batting.

Absolutely right!!! :)
His retirement only cannot prove good to Indian team.

48 centuries in tests and ODI together.. Yes he should have complete it. But now no hopes..

As a great batsmen he won the hearts of many people. He has a lot of concentration for his batting.

I am posting a photo to honour him.

Undoubtedly one of the best of all times but every good thing has to go one day. That is law of the nature and we shall have to agree with that. He will always remain with us as one of the best and may be he comes back with another role to play.

May be he will join commentry section.. Gaguly did the same too. :whistle:

But, was it the correct time to quit?...that also, all of a sudden. I think, he had made this decision with a broken heart. Now, next turn is Sachin :(

Yes may be he was forced to take.. I mean surely Dravid may not like those words about leaving team just because of his weak performance in last series..

Yes....I think comments of senior retired members hurted him and prompt him to take this decision, particularly Ganguly :(
