Dravid has decided to quit from Tests too....
i.e. His career has come to an end. But, I don't think, it is a right decision to retire from Tests.
Ya, he could not perform well in the last series. But, it does not mean that he can't play tests. What is your opinion?

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

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 :(
Yes.. And I guess Sachin can face the same thing.. Hopefully he is in Asia cup and can stop all comments by performing well their.

Oh yes i too heard a comment from Ganguly he said that dravid should have taken this decision after coming from England tour.it was disgusting.People should understand before commenting on others as this he should have implemented on himself too. :angry:

He is doing same on Sachin too.. In fact almost all commentors and seniors are giving such comments..

I haven't expected something like this from Ganguly because he had played with Dravid and Sachin both.
I think Ganguly's words paved way to Dravid's retirement all of a sudden.
All thought, Laxman will retire first and all were against him. I also thought so. But Dravid...never even imagined :(
Quite true.. Dravid retirement is quite unexpected and sudden too.
Why do you all blamed to Ganguly.Dravid is a great cricker but recent performance is not good and he retires.Thats all.

Ganguly fan....ha ha
I am a Ganguly fan not only as a cricker but his willingness.He played against many affort and he was successful like Amarnath.He is a real Bengal Tiger.
