say the same for dravid as he had support for every century he had scored.
Sachin,Lara and ponting are in a different league and then comes dravid,sangakkara,hayden,inzamam etc.

Remember dravid was not even selected in second all-time best XI team recently.

Dravid was a good batsmen .There ends the matter.Why must every journalist drag Sachin into his article ? It is just to incite ardent fans .Sachin is a better batsman than Dravid or anybody else but Dravid has ,probably ,played few knocks more which lead to Indian victories than Sachin.But that in noway makes Sachin a lesser player.Remember one fact,Sachin is one of the greatest batsmen to have played cricket.The list is Bradman,Sobers,Viv Richards ,Sachin Tendulkar and Jacques Kallis.Period.

One of the true batting greats India produced and would always walk into the all time India eleven without any arguments (In fact all the first four places are easy to conclude). Self discipline is the best virtue the youngsters in the team can take from him. Many of his virtues are built on doing right things at the right time. Now that he is retired, team India would require both Sachin and Laxman to stay back for at least another year before one of them calls it a day. Wish Dravid having a fulfilling role in Indian cricket post his retirement.
